Love, Safety and Fun 24/7!

Pet care experience

Update: as of September 1st, 2021, your favorite sitter is available to take care of his best friends at their homes only. The minimum stay is three (3) days, thank you for your understanding! --- My excellent reviews speak for me: most of my friends are very regular guests, and they have their habits at home. A recent graduate from Columbia University, I have been taking care of our fantastic friends for many years. I am a very experienced dog-lover, I take my work extremely seriously, and I have known dozens of different friends and situations, where knowledge and understanding matter, and it makes a big difference. My best teacher has been my lovely English Bulldog, named Double-Fat. He left me in 2014, after a beautiful life together, in Chicago. Providing care and love is my way to pay a tribute to the best time of my life. I also experienced the illness of a doggy. I know what it means to feel for our companions. Taking any detail seriously, to make sure doggy is ok no matter what the issue is, is natural for me. I am a master at creating a safe environment and reducing stress to the very minimum. Just a word, and here we go for the pleasant walk, in the streets, to the dog run or the park, you name it. Most importantly, I know by experience that no dog is exempt from stress and anxiety when dad and/or mom go(es) away: I know everything about this, and I am an exceptional healer for it. I can also provide helpful tips if needed. From the moment you leave your friend, I immediately understand how your friend feels and how to ease that moment. I am a very responsible, quiet, and well-educated professional. I study a lot. I provide treatment and medication as needed, groom with your permission, and no sign of discomfort will ever be ignored. Flexible, communicative, taking pictures so that you never ignore what we do and where we are, I know you will enjoy having a reliable guy around. I do not make a profit with peak-time of the year or extra-services: same excellent service and same price. My best reward is to see my friends happily coming again during the year and the smile on their parents' faces. Plus, as a French native, we can have some entertaining conversation with doggy, what about that? Have I forgotten anything? Feel free to ask, and I will be more than happy to answer you promptly. Best woof, everybody!

I will not hesitate to have Stephan take care of our miniature poodle, Lexie, in the future. He was a great host! He made sure he had all relevant information beforehand to make her comfortable, was fast in response to queries by text or emails and sent us daily pictures of her whilst she was on her vacation. Pick-up and drop-off were a breeze. You can be confident that your pet will be in good hands with Stephan!

Daisy's stay with Stephan was a fantastic experience -- for everybody involved! He took care to place her at ease at the start of the stay, and had her fully acclimated in no time, expanding her routine to include lots of ecploratory walls and playtime. For me, he provided a daily update w lots of pics. We were afraid our pet would want to stay with him on our return, but luckily she didn't. Stephan is a super nice person in general, and easy to share with. Would recommend him in a second :)

Like so many others have said: Stephan is a true delight and I am so happy we found him! Leaving our fur baby with a "stranger" is always one of the most stressful parts of a vacation, but the moment I met Stephan all of my fears subsided. Stephan is not only the nicest of peeps but obviously has a soft spot in his heart for every dog he meets! Our Oscar took an instant liking him to him and I could tell from the myriad of oh-so cute pictures Stephan texted (at my request) over the course of our vaca, our doggers was having the time of his life! In fact, he hardly seemed phased to see me when I came to pick him up (ha!). I can't recomment Stephan highly enough and we will definitely look to him again when the need arises- he's the BEST!
