About Steven

My name is Steven and I am a trustworthy 59 year-old adult who is great with animals (dogs, cats, birds, alpacas, you name it!) and lives a very clean and neat lifestyle. I have travelled extensively in my life and am comfortable nearly anywhere.

My name is Steven and I am a trustworthy 59 year-old adult who is great with animals (dogs, cats, birds, alpacas, you name it!) and lives a very clean and neat lifestyle. I have travelled extensively in my life and am comfortable nearly anywhere.

Why I want to house sit

I love to travel and experience various cultures, not as a tourist but actually living within that culture. I also enjoy caring for people's much-loved homes and assuring the safety and cleanliness thereof. Moreover, I LOVE animals and spending time with them.

My experience

I have been with Trusted Housesitters for three years now and have completed more than 15 house/pet sits in France, England, Italy, New York, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Also, prior to joining this site, I have extensive sitting experience in New York and California. I have a tremendous background with animals, handling dogs, cats, birds (especially parrots), horses, and fish. I am well-versed in medicating needy pets (dogs and cats) and can give shots as necessary. I can also help train your dog (obedience, agility, tricks). I do prefer to charge a little for training.

    Steven was great! Took care of my sweet dog Adak over a long weekend in the middle of Alaska's dark winter, earthquake included! Really appreciated his thoroughness (I need to provide more details in my guidebook) when asking me the questions for information I should have provided. House was in tip top shape and Adak was super happy. Thanks Steven for being thorough, kind to Adak, and cleaning my fridge! It's like my mom visited.

    Steven is fabulous! Contact was very easy and we were always kept up to date on arrival/exiting plans as well as day to day goings on. Zoe already misses him!
    Our house was left spotless as well. Steven is returning in a month,and hopefully many more times in the future.

    Steven was incredible!!! He gave the dogs the best care possible. He was very attentive and committed. Easy going and enjoyable company. He left the house beautifully clean and tidy (in fact tidier than we had left it).... and to just make things even more perfect he got me a few essentials before we came home and made us the most exquisite Tiramisu which was chilled in fridge for our return!!!! I just wish we could have him for every pet sit forever!!!!
