Pet care experience

I’ve trained dogs for a year and regularly look after my friend’s dogs who live around the JP area. I've also walked 100+lb dogs that wouldn’t stop pulling so “lively” dogs wont be running after cars on my watch.

Great, easy stay! Steven was responsive and flexible with pickup times. He worked with me to understand my dog's feeding quirks and walk schedule. He sent pictures during the trip and I knew my doggo was safe and comfortable with him. Thanks!

Our dog has some anxiety but Steven did a wonderful job of making her feel comfortable and happy! He was super flexible with adding an extra day to our stay after I accidentally booked incorrect dates and allowed us to pick up our dog super late after our flight got in. Will definitely be booking with Steven for our next trip!

My schedule on weekdays are lax. I’ll take dogs out for however many potty breaks they need and usually do one 30-60 min walk with all the dogs a day. I don’t have any equipment to divide dogs in the house so if your dog has behavioral issues with other dogs just let me know so I can avoid double booking on a day.

Information Steven R. would like to know about your pet

I typically ask for your dog's diet needs, medical needs, and any behavioral issues/quirks to keep note of. For example knowing of a dog's issue with chewing ahead of time will allow me to prep my house so there's nothing to chew within dog height.

A typical day

I usually like to reserve a portion of their daily meals as treats in order to reinforce tricks and training. My house is right across from Franklin Park, a popular spot for dog walking, so your dog will get to meet a lot of new friends on their walks.
