I walk every day I am fit and active with or without a dog I walk every day, company is always good. Training for the coast to coast next year 2026, there will be no short cuts I will give your dog back happy and tired.

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. I lost my dogs in 2023/2024, not ready to get another but I love dogs, that is why I joined Rover. I care for your dogs and give them back, it works for me and you. Rag toys, play time whatever your dog needs I will do.

High energy dogs welcome.

Pet care experience

I generally sit high energy dogs from Dobermans to Jacks, English bulls, Staffies, xl bullies for people who struggle to find sitters. Long walks, short walks whatever you need. I look after a high energy dogs, look at my profile for pictures, any dog welcome big or small. Grew up with German Shepards, and terriers a dog lover. Knowledge and experience giving medication and care of older dogs. If you have an English Bull you know you need someone with experience to care for them, any bullies are the same but the English is something special, you know if you know, love them.

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.

So glad we chose Steve, I had a last minute emergency and needed someone with extended knowledge of the English bull terrier.(if you know you know 🤣🤯) Steve sure has that, great communication & kept us updated regularly & took Vinnie on long walks & looked after my boy like he was his own. Definitely recommend Steve & would 💯 use him again. Topman, top boarder 💯

Steve did an amazing job looking after Dougie our Staffy. He kept us updated throughout, even provided detailed maps where had walked, will not hesitate using Steve again.

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.
