Safety, trust & environment

My visits start with me first making sure all food, water, medical, and sanitary needs are met and then interacting with your pet on their terms. Whether they like to play, prefer to be left alone, or just need someone to be around so that they are not lonely while you are away. I strive to end every visit with your pet satisfied.

Information Steven P. would like to know about your pet

I'm more than happy to take care of any medical needs your pet may have. I've got experience in giving oral medication for cats and dogs and I'm eager to learn any new pet care technique or skills so don't be afraid to ask me to perform any procedure your pet may need.

A typical day

My most popular pet activity according to the pets themselves is the administration of petting. Whatever the type of animal if they desire affection then that is what they shall receive. Running off energy is another specialty of mine and something I always look to take advantage of, a well behaved pet is an exhausted pet I often find.

Care is both physical and emotional

Pet care experience

My house has never been without at least 3 pets at any time over the course of my life. From an early age I was responsible for their care as my parents would often go on trips out of state. I've cared for multiple dogs, cats, and birds as well as guinea pigs and iguanas. Attending to each of their unique needs in terms of care and companionship.

Steven did an amazing job taking care of my cats while I was away. I returned to very calm, stress-free cats. I appreciate the time and effort that Steven put into each visit, always making sure my cats were comfortable.

Steven was available super short term notice when we had a medical emergency. I am so relieved that he had no hesitation and worked with me on scheduling. Thank you!

We've had Steve over several times to care for our 3 cats. He gets to know them on a deep level, as if they were his own. He knows Precious just wants food, TouTou loves all the cuddles, and even coaxed Stone out of hiding by being a gentle, patient soul. Some family members who stayed with us for days don't even get to meet Stone. He plays with them, and feeds them and cleans the litter each time and they seem to really love him so we've been very happy with his services over the past year.

Roxy & Sterling love when Steven comes to visit. They had the best weekend and I could tell they were happy and full of treats from all of the updates and photos we got!
