Information Steven W. would like to know about your pet

Obviously I would like to meet and greet before accepting any offers, this would cover any special needs for your dog and for your dog to associate with me.

A typical day

I walk every morning typically 5-10 miles. I am active outdoor type, I have transport for change of scenery too. Evening walk 3 - 5 miles depending on the morning walk. I do not let dogs off the lead unless I know them very well. I use extending leads with a wrist lock. Rag toys, play time whatever your dog needs I will do.

We have a high energy German shepherd and get nervous leaving him to go on holiday sometimes! Stephen was fantastic, we had daily communication and pictures of their lovely walks and time together. He really put us at ease and our dog really adores him 🥰 could not recommend him enough! He’s a fantastic dog sitter and all round lovely person!

Couldn't be happier with Steve for the care of my dog Aubie. From start to finish he was professional, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. I received regular updates and photos which reassured me Aubie was safe and happy. When I collected Aubie he was relaxed, well cared for and clearly had a great time. Thank you.
