Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover, photog, USAF vet
I’ve had a dog most of my life and currently live with a cat. My best friends have a poodle (named Noodle!, see profile pic) who I always look forward to watching when they’re out of town. Nothing can quite put a smile on my face as seeing a pet be happy and enthusiastically taken cared of.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
A home is a sacred space - not merely just a piece of property - so I fully appreciate the due seriousness necessary for someone to entrust me to not only care for their pet(s) but also their home (which is also the pet's home!) and their belongings. Your pet(s), your home, your belongings will always be treated with the same care, respect, and attention that I would want as if they were my own.
Ratings and reviews
Steven is great! Very responsive and makes our nervous dog feel very comfortable around him!
Steven came in at the last minute and was truly a life-saver. Communicative, extremely flexible, kind, and patient, we were comfortable leaving a 4-month old puppy home alone for the first time with him at the wheels. Thanks again, Steven!
Steven is truly the absolute best! So kind, so professional, and such a great communicator. I always feel fully at ease when he’s walking/watching Banksy :)
This was truly a 10/10 experience. Communication was great both before and during my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. He took the time to meet up with us beforehand and even joined us on a walk to understand my dog’s quirks and routine, which meant a lot. While I was away, he sent daily updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions when needed, and struck the perfect balance of keeping me informed while still letting me enjoy my vacation. I genuinely felt like my pets were in the best hands. For context, my dog is on the larger and stubborn side, and he handled her confidently and comfortably. He also stayed in my apartment, and I came home to it exactly as I left it. I would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him.
Steven was just great! Consistent, communicative, and kind to our cats. Thank you for the care and peace of mind!
Steven was communicative and very responsive in accepting my last minute booking. He was thorough and left detailed post-visit reports.

Schedule
I’m a freelance photographer with a relatively flexible schedule. For prospective HOUSE-SITTING clients only: I have weekly regulars I take care of Monday-Friday from 10 am to about 4 pm (this is the general time-range that a majority of my repeat bookings take place). I can also have irregular appointments that take place after 5 pm as well as on the weekends. **IF I CAN'T TAKE CARE OF MY REGULARS THEN I CAN'T ACCEPT YOUR HOUSE-SITTING REQUEST.** In general this would usually mean any pet that requires strict "around the clock", 24/7 supervision (i.e. puppies). If you have any questions regarding this specifically or anything at all please don't hesitate to ask and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
