Highlights
Pet care experience
Ready to love your pup!
I was a doggy dad for more than 13 years to my dog Dolly (who passed away in October 2022), and have lots of experience walking, house sitting, and boarding the pup companions of neighbors and friends. I pride myself on making the dogs I care for feel loved and special, and to let them "be a dog".
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Steven and his wife Karen are amazing care takers and so very kind people. They took care of my 5 year old Mini Labradoodle and I couldn’t be happier with the care they gave her. She was smiling when I picked her up and was clearly happy. Highly recommend. :)
Steve is great, and I would highly recommend him as a sitter! He and his wife took great care of our dog Gandalf. She has some anxiety issues and they helped her get through a big thunderstorm and a hot summer weekend. He was super communicative before the booking, and sent detailed updates and great photos the whole time we were away.
Steven and his wife LOVE dogs and my Frank LOVES them. Is there anything else to say?
Steve has been a trusted pet sitter for our Shih tzu multiple times. Rory loves playing ball and going for walks around the neighborhood. Steve sends great updates and lots of pictures. We really appreciate the communication during her stays. Highly recommend!
Steve is conscientious and loving to Asher, truly enjoying time with dogs. He was able to handle Asher's occasional reactivity with grace. I 100% will use Steve's services again.
Steve is an excellent caregiver! He is attentive, patient, and very kind with the dogs. He loves all animals and I would trust him with Basil any time. 10/10 recommend.

Schedule
I'm very flexible for daytime or evening walks with your pup! Just let me know what you need and when. I'm also available for many last-minute requests!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
On our walks together, I will be a "momma bear" with your fur baby, protecting them from any situations that could cause potential danger or stress. I will watch them constantly for any signs they are uncomfortable in any given situation, or with any other dogs or persons.
A typical day
I love letting my pup companions be as much of themselves as possible---letting them explore, check out new smells, walking fast or slow with them depending on their mood.

- Please tell me a bit about your dog companion in your request: what they're like, their age, what makes them happy on walks and what situations (or people/other animals) make them anxious or react to negatively, commands they know (and that they need to respond to), any special needs they might require.
