Safety, trust & environment

I have a large, fully fenced in back yard where my golden doodle loves to play and explore. She would show your pups her favorite spots to play. *Do note there are some plants that are known to cause tummy aches to pups in the backyard. It's never been an isssue in the past but if your dog is a strong vegetarian for things besides grass, please take note of this.

Steven was very caring and conscientious. Our doggy had a great time and a very safe environment and we will definitely request Steven again.

Steven had great communication and our dogs had a blast. They got along so well with his sweet pup as well! Steven was very easy to talk to and always responded very quickly. We are so happy to have someone we can trust to look after our crazy boxers!

Steven was excellent and helpful throughout the process and during Imani's stay at his house. He was willing to make time to do a meet and greet (which unfortunately I couldn't do based on my own schedule). When I dropped off Imani at his house, he also let me in and stay for a little bit so Imani could get more comfortable. Throughout the stay, he kept me involved and also sent pictures and videos. He also took Imani out for a walk, which I greatly appreciated.

Steven did a great job of taking care of our dog Atticus. There was a big yard for Atticus to roam around. He was tentative at first, but Steven was very patient with him and made him feel at home.

Wonderful experience for my little Molly. Steven was very attentive to her needs as a rescue. Molly had so much fun with his dog Taru! Steven sent pictures and video so that I could see that Molly’s weekend was going really well. I can’t thank him enough for taking such good care of her so that we can enjoy our time away. I highly recommend him!

Steven is great! He took great care of Teddy! I know Teddy is really happy there. We are glad we found him. He sent us daily updates while we were gone which was amazing! You can tell he is very caring and loves animals. Our experience was positive and we look forward to Teddy having more visits with his new best buddy!

Schedule

I have recently accepted a job working in an office with partial remote work. Until I settle into the new schedule I won't be taking new clients. January, I will have a couple retirees around the house regularly so dogs that work well with them will be the ideal (ones that don't jump up and/or are smaller dogs).

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Steven can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
Do they have any special needs? Some examples: Do they take any medication or have any known health issues. Are they playful and friendly with other dogs. Are they in any teething or destructive phase. Are they food/toy aggressive? Are they potty trained and comfortable with a doggy door? If not, is it okay to teach them how to use a doggy door? *Important for boarding and daycare at my house: Do they have a tendency to nibble on plants? Have they been properly trained not to mark territory, especially indoors and in new environments? *Final note: If your pup has extremely high energy levels, a meet and greet is recommended for any new clients to make sure their energy and playstyle is a good fit with Taru's. :)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
