My day pretty much revolves around dogs — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Since I work from home most of the week, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule full of walks, playtime, and cuddles. My own pups keep me active and in a great routine, so adding another furry friend into the mix feels natural. Even on my in-office days, I make sure every dog gets the attention and consistency they’re used to.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every dog as if they were my own. At my home, pups are part of the family — they can lounge, play, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, and I always supervise outdoor time. When I’m watching pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything just how they like it. I stick to their regular routine, give them lots of love, and keep you in the loop with updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

Information Steven S. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting, I like to learn as much as possible about your pup — their personality, routines, and any special needs. Please let me know: • How they do with other dogs • Feeding and medication schedule • Favorite toys or comfort items • Any allergies, quirks, or behaviors I should be aware of

A typical day

I love keeping dogs happy, active, and engaged — whether that means long walks, playtime, or cozy downtime. My two dogs, a Bernese and a Chihuahua, love having new friends around, so there’s always someone to play or relax with. We’ll go on walks around my neighborhood or nearby parks to get some fresh air and exercise, followed by playtime with toys or just lounging together for belly rubs and cuddles. I always adjust activities to match each dog’s personality and comfort level — whether they’re full of energy or prefer to take things slow. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and like they’re on a little vacation of their own while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Steven - lifelong dog lover, experienced sitter and a pet parent of two sweet pups: a Bernese and a Chihuahua. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, and my goal is to make every pup feel right at home and every owner complete at ease. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I have handled everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I’m patient and love learning each dog’s quirk and routines. I work from home most days, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I am in the office (usually Tuesday and Wednesday) I can adjust my schedule as needed to fit your pet’s routine. I live in a safe, pet friendly community in Colerain with plenty of green spaces for walks. I also love taking dogs to parks for a change of scenery or staying cozy indoors for extra belly rubs! Safety always come first. All outdoor time is fully supervised and your pup will never be off leash unless in a safely enclosed area. I truly treat every dog as my own and want to make your time away stress free. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend!

Steven did an awesome job house sitting with our 3 dogs while we were out of town for a week. He sent plenty of updates and pictures and took the pups on plenty of walks. Would definitely recommend!

Steven did several drop in visits to give my dogs a potty break while I was at work. He did fine with these. i did try to rebook him for additional drop in visits and I received no response from him. I can understand if someone either can't or doesn't want to continue to do drop in visits , however , the lack of communication or response to the booking request was very frustrating..

Stephen did fine caring for my dogs. I have no complaints there. He did several drop ins for me, but then when I went to rebook again, I got no resoonse. I can totally understand a sitter that can't or doesn't want to continue, but the lack of communication and response were extremely frustrating.
