Pet care experience

I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. Between dog-sitting, grooming, bathing, walking etc. for friends and family, I have built up a solid foundation to be a great pet caretaker. I love dogs more than I can describe and feel a rush of joy and energy whenever I am around them. I like to think that I have as much unbounded energy as a dog, so it makes it very easy to get along with them! Babysitting my godson since he was a baby has helped prepare me for taking care of pets, young and old, as well!

Would absolutely recommend Steven. He was responsible, communicative, trustworthy, thoughtful and seems like all around a great human! We are very selective of who watches our dogs, since they are large and aren’t for everyone, but Steven put us at ease while we were away getting married. He gave us tons of photo updates, diligently adhered to our instructions, and the dogs seemed to love him. So relieved we found him - thank you, Steven!

I'm using Steven as one of my main dog walkers (basically if he's available, he's who I want walking my dog). He's great! (See previous review for more details) I've never had a dog walker who goes above and beyond so consistently- has messaged me letting me know he's refilled my dogs water and if that's ok, asks about a towel to use if it's raining, always sends fun pic and video updates! 😄

Steven has walked Chewy a few times now and is wonderful! I haven't gotten a chance to meet him in person but I feel completely comfortable allowing him to pick up chewy from my apartment and take him for his walk while I'm at work. Steven has been very communicative before and during chewy's walks. He sends me lots of photo and video updates - which I LOVE! I plan on continuing to use him for Chewy's walks when he's available and if I ever needed a sitter while out of town I'd definitely contact him first. ?

I have a beautiful dog park steps outside my building that is fully fenced and accessible to all. I also live on the water in seaport, with plenty of room and grassy areas for walks. As for my apartment, it is comfortable with more than enough room for a dog to play. I have the ability to crate your dog if needed and can also set up play/sleeping areas around the apartment!

A typical day

We have a wonderful dog park right outside my front door! I also love to run, so if your dog enjoys being outside and moving, I would love to go on jogs around the neighborhood! It is beautiful to walk along the water in Seaport and the North End. The beach in South Boston is only a quick walk away as well, so beach days are in the cards as well when it is nice out!
