UWS DOG WHISPERER

Pet care experience

I have had dogs all my life. You might know me from my many years owning Beacon Paint & Hardware, where I was lucky enough to bring my black Labrador retrievers to work (first Bru, then Dinah) . People have always said I should find a job that involves dogs, so that's what I am doing. They say "do what you love," and I LOVE dogs! And they love me right back. I like to pet and play with all dogs, regardless of size. I am always walking my dog in the park or just getting down on floor and playing. I can do the same with your dog and I guarantee they'll love me. So will you. I am very trustworthy. I really am.

Steven is the most loving dog person around. He is the dog whisperer.Caring, concerned, honest, Steve will take your dog, and show it love. You and your dog are in the safest of hands, with Steven Stark. As his brother, I have seen the love he gives to all dogs. If we are walking somewhere and he sees a dog, he stops and greets the dog.

When I bought my labrador puppy in November, the very first thing I did to socialize her was to take her to the hardware store owned by Steven and his brother. Steven is absolutely devoted to his dog Dinah and has shown the same kind of generosity and compassion to my dog as well. He's the person outside of my family whom I would trust the most with my dog in a crisis. This is an unequivocal endorsement.

Hi my name is John McNally, I have raised four guide dogs for guiding eyes for the blind and guide dog foundation. I have helped raise over 100 dogs over the years. I am also a lifelong animal lover, especially dogs. I raise my dogs to become excellent guides and I have never mistreated them, put my hands on them except to love them and have never even yelled at one of my dogs. My dogs have been treated with the upmost respect. My dog knows it’s in the way when I say excuse me. Not watch out. This makes people laugh but my dogs know the difference. Steven has been one of the most remarkable people with his dogs over the many years I have known him. I believe I know him over 25 years. His love of dogs Is well known on the Upper West side.. I’ve never met anyone more loving and attached to his own dogs. He was an owner of Beacon hardware in New York City where pets were welcome. Sometimes they were more dogs in his store than people. If you need someone who’s going to think your dog is valuable and worth getting loving treatment while being walked then Steven is your man. I highly recommend him.
