Pet care experience

Teacher by day, walker by night.

I have had dogs ever since I was a child and raised two dogs from small puppies until they died at the ripe age of 14 years. I have 14 years of experience taking care of dogs. During the weekdays I work as a teacher at the local high school, so I am unavailable during the day until about 4:30 PM. In the evenings I can walk your dog, go to your home to check up on your dog, and over the weekends I can dig sit for you if it's needed. I live in a building that does not allow pets, so you can't leave your pet at my house to be watched unfortunately. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm very attentive to how dogs communicate, and do not let them out of my sight when walking or dog siting them. I follow owner instructions such as what time a dog needs his medications exactly.

Steven helped us at the last minute and took such great care of our puppy with special needs. Will request him again for next time.

Steven did a great job checking in our pup while we were out of town. He shared updates twice a day and made sure she was well-cared for. We would book with him again.

Steven is a great guy! He has taken care of my dog many times, and my dog absolutely adores him! He is very responsible and kind! I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to hire him for any reason… But I think you will totally benefit having him as an employee!

Schedule

I work as a high school teacher during weekdays but am available in the evenings and weekends. Normally I'm out of school by about 4:30pm. Please ask me about taking care of your dog during holidays. I'm often free to care or your pet full time then.

Please let me know if there are any special needs your pet might have. I've taken care of blind dogs, and a dog with diabetes who had to have regular insulin injections. Just let me know beforehand so I can prepare.
