About Stephen

Hi I'm Steve! 

I have over 18 years experience in doggo care, starting at 14 working in kennels. 

I moved on doing veterinary nursing for many years before going on to becoming a canine behaviouralist and trainer for Australian Royal Air Force military working dog unit in Amberley. I did 3 years within that role before branching out and starting my own personal business in canine behavioural care.

I have over 20 clients who entrust me with the care of their 4 legged family members. 

I don't just take on your doggo or pup and lump them in the backyard like I've seen some dog sitters do. 

I use my training and assessment skills to find what is the most engaging way to ensure fulfillment during their stay, wether it's a day out on the beach where I know of succluded areas to park up and have a bit of water play and games, or just a local walk to the park, sometimes just an afternoon of couch naps and belly rubs can be engaging enough. I'm very experienced in giving medications no matter how they are administered. 

I can promise and guarantee every visit your fur friends have will have them almost doing backflips everytime they see me! Knowing they're in for ALL OF THE FUNS! I have a large House on a generous size block, with kennels in the corner for my own doggos, through the day most of them are free running the yard, laying under the large gazebo or umbrella, sometimes even on the fence line bushes where the tress provide breeze and cover.

I have 2.75 dogs, my senior boy Archie is a Shephard x Husky, Shadow is a Belgian Mal, now...the .50 is the Beagle Miss Maggie, the .25 is the Dachshund Mr Flash.
