Pet care experience

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.

This was the second time Steven stayed at our apartment and took care of our two dogs. Just like the first time, he was great - professional, communicative, etc., and just like the first time, I think he left our apartment neater for us than we left it for him! I highly recommend him to anyone that wants a responsible dog sitter.

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.

Information Steven N. would like to know about your pet

*Please be as detailed as possible in your care instructions (there is no such thing as TOO much information) as I will be following them to an absolute tee.* Please let me know if your pet has any special needs such as dietary restrictions, oral medications and - with dogs in particular - social habits when meeting other dogs on the street, your policy regarding treats, etc.

A typical day

My primary aim first and foremost is to stick to the routines, activities, walking routes, etc., that your pet(s) is already comfortable with and used to (especially for dogs). In terms of keeping pet parents posted on their pet(s) I will always, at minimum, send an ETA update when on my way to an appointment and a “post-visit report” update afterwards (basically a detailed summary of how the drop-in/walk went). Pet parents are, of course, welcome to fine tune how often they want to be updated as well as what specifically [about their pets during my visit] that they want updates on.

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.
