Your Pet’s Second Favorite Human

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Steven and someone who understands how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your pet. My goal is simple: to make your pet’s day (and your life) a little happier and less stressful. Why Pet Parents Trust Me - Reliable & Attentive You can always count on me to show up on time, follow your instructions closely, and treat your home and pet with respect. I pay attention to the small details — from their favorite toy to their feeding routine. - Patient & Caring Being a parent has taught me patience, empathy, and structure. I bring that same energy to every animal I care for, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether we’re out for a walk or winding down after playtime. - Clear Communication I’ll send you updates, photos, and quick notes so you always know how your pet is doing. I want you to feel connected, even while you’re away. 🐕 What I Offer I’m available for: Drop-ins and dog walking House sitting and boarding Day care for dogs and cats Whether your pet needs active playtime or someone to stick to their routine, I’ll make sure they’re cared for like family.

Steven did a great job housesitting for our pets. He was responsive, communicative, sent pictures, asked questions, and stayed in touch with us. It was the first time we used him, and it was a last-minute request so we were more than grateful for his excellent service. We will definitely be working with him again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
