30+ years of Rescue & Senior pups!
Pet care experience
I've been a pet owner for the last 30 years. Dogs, mostly, but I've had roommates with cats and birds, and managed to keep everyone happy & healthy. All of my dogs have been rescues, and most of them have been seniors. I've lived in rural settings and recently, I lived in a dog friendly building in NYC, with 2 senior beagles in my life. I'm currently living with a Bluetick Hound that was rescued from the South. He's special needs (was abused, and found injured in the woods), but he's making progress in our house! The only type of pet I've never had, or taken care of are exotics (other than some birds). I've never had any reptiles. I love spending time with animals, and I treat them like part of my extended family. Recently, one of my regular clients sent me a text, saying that one of her two pups had passed away. I really appreciated being in the loop. The news hit me pretty hard, and I'm not sure that I've gotten over it yet. That's the only downside to bonding with fur babies, but I wouldn't give up the chance to spend time with them. Any questions, do not hesitate to ask!

Awesome sitter! Always goes above and beyond and our dog loves him!
We've struggled in the past to find a reliable dog sitter, but finally feel like we found a winner. Steven kept us informed while we were gone and we came home to happy and tired puppies. We can't say enough good things about our dog-sitting experienc! Thank you again Steven!!
Steven fed, walked and played with our pit bull, Yogi, at our home while we were out of town for Thanksgiving dinner. Steven went above and beyond to be sure I felt comfortable leaving him in charge of Yogi's care. He visited us beforehand so he and Yogi could get acquainted. Yogi is anxious; he is also a breed some dog-walkers feel uncomfortable handling. Steven was confident and calm with our dog. He was here at the time specified and immediately sent me a text message with a photo of Yogi. He gave me feedback on how the visit went. I am extremely happy with Steven's work for us and appreciate his congenial personality and interest in our dog. I won't hesitate to engage him again.
Steve is one of the most caring and loving pet owners I have ever met. He has watched my pets several times and they remember him! They are always excited to see him and they barely even notice me when he's there! lol He has a wealth of knowledge and experience concerning dogs and I highly recommend him to take care of your pets. :)

Information Steven P. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if the dog has any dietary restrictions, if the pup is on any meds or if the dog has a history of aggression with either people or other animals, just to make sure I keep all parties safe and happy. :-)
A typical day
I live near a few pet friendly parks, but I'm not opposed to walking a client's dog in their neighborhood, if they prefer not to go for car rides. I'm a fan of fetch and frisbee!
