Pet care experience

Raised around the world and proudly served in the US Coast Guard (Honorably Discharged)from 1990-98. I’m now rooted in the Montecito Heights area for the last 20 years. I’ve never known life without a furry family member by my side. I understand how much your four-legged companion means to you. I treat every pet with the same love, safety, and respect I’d give my own. I bring hands - on experience in puppy potty training, senior pet care and bath time- having lovingly cared for our own elderly pets through every stage of life. Whether you have a brand new pup who needs a little extra patience or a seasoned senior who deserves extra TLC, your furry family member is in good hands here!

Steven is great. He took excellent care of our big girl while we were out of town. He came over beforehand and made sure he knew everything he needed to. He sent photos and updates during every visit. He was friendly and trustworthy. We'll be requesting his services again and would highly recommend him!

Steven was above and beyond with my big dog Wallace. He took to time to check in with me in advance to learn a little of his background, and left my dog cared for, energized, and happy. Will definitely rebook!

Steven was great with my dog Seymour! Super personable guy, always on time, and I could tell by my dog’s excited reaction when Steven arrived that he always had a great time and was in great hands. Happy to have found Steven - would definitely recommend!

I highly recommend him as a pet sitter! He has always been amazing with animals and treats every pet like part of the family. He’s super responsible, patient, and genuinely loves spending time with dogs and cats. I’ve seen firsthand how caring and attentive he is — making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy at all times.
