About Stephen

I travel quite abit and enjoy petsitting. Also, I have grown children in Boston, Palo Alto and Phoenix and would enjoy petsitting in those locations

Why I want to house sit

I enjoy animals and enjoy petsitting with them in new, exciting homes. Also, I enjoy meeting the home sitting community and believe that this is a good way to get to know new and diverse communities.

My experience

Extensive experience with dogs and cats, young and old, cocker spaniel, pointers, Pomeranian and other breeds. Expertise pet sitting for one pet or up to six pets plus fish. Pets like to cuddle and sleep with me. Particular affinity for senior citizen pets, although current assignment consists of a nine month old pointer, three year old terrier, two shy senior cats and, a five week old standard Poodle, five goldfish. Real good at lawn and garden care. Speak fluent Spanish, Portuguese, French and Vietnamese

Recent unique experience for me was pet sitting an eight week old standard poodle for five weeks. This entailed multiple trips to the dog park, every two hours for most of the day, from the seventh floor of the building, going to puppy classes and socializing with other pets at several dog parks in the city, and finally periodic visits to the vet for shots and general puppy appointments. Great experience and the Poodle and I are bonded for life!

We enjoyed having Steve sit with Jack. He bonded with Jack the moment they met at the door; we could tell Jack was going to be cared for by a very kind animal lover. Steve was very communicative and kept us abreast of Jack's behavior with texts, emails and photos. We would absolutely recommend Steve for your sits.

Stephen was a Godsend! He was able to sit on short notice, was great with the pets, and adjusted his schedule to accommodate more time when we got snowed in! He must have felt like he had checked into Hotel California when we kept being delayed by the closed Pass. The house was clean, the sheets washed and remade. The pets loved him. When he finally left my dog ran all over the house looking for him. We can't recommend him highly enough and hope he comes back to Seattle again. He is a delightful and interesting gentleman, happy to have in our home anytime!
