Hey, I'm Steve.

Meet Big Steve →

I've shared my life with a Great Dane, a St. Bernard, a pit mix, and a mini schnauzer. Big dogs have a place here—and little ones do, too.

I'm based in Bucktown and offer dog walks, sitting, and drop-ins. You can also view my profile and request a booking on Rover. Let's start with a conversation and a meet-and-greet so you can decide whether I'm the right fit for your dog.

Big dogs. Little dogs.
Let's meet yours.
