About

Hello, my name is Stephen, and I am of mature age (approaching retirement). I am a clean, tidy, hygienic and house proud person, a nonsmoker, and a social drinker. I originally resided in Victoria and being a passionate animal lover, especially Dogs, decided to sit full time. I have been house/pet sitting for over 4 years now and travel this great country in my motor home looking after homes and pets. I have now gained wonderful experience in caring for Dogs, Cats, Birds, Fish, Guinea Pigs, Rabbits as well as some livestock (Alpacas, Horses, Goats, Chickens, Sheep, Cattle), and am proud to have gained particularly good references as a result.
I have some horticultural experience looking after orchards and am experienced with some farm machinery and garden maintenance equipment. My professional background was as a Paramedic as well as allied health industry as well as being trained in Horticulture. I enjoy reading, gardening, renovating and photography and art.
Dog Breeds I have looked after to date are Shih Tzu's, Whippets, Grey Hounds, Border Collies, Labradors, Cavalier's, Bugaliers, Poodles (Standards and miniatures), German Shepherds, Weimaraner's, Staffy Bull Terriers, Kelpies, Samoyeds, Corgi's.

I can supply police check and working with children's qualifications as well as references. I aim to look after and care for your residence and animals as if I were my own and keep you up to date on your loved one's happiness and health as required. My aim is to help you have a relaxing and worry-free holiday and return to your home and pets and know, all have been well cared for.
I now have a special need for a large parking area on properties I sit on, for I travel in a motor home.
Please call or e-mail me if I can assist you and your pets.

we highly recommend Stephen to sit your house or watch your pets. Responded quickly to texts etc. Stephen left the house cleaner than we left it which was great to come home to ! We had some storms with thunder our dog gets sketchy and Stephen stayed beyond his time to make sure our dog was ok. Thanks Stephen

Stephen has house sat for us a few times with the longest stint 6 weeks. He is fabulous with our dog and she clearly loves him. He is immaculate in the house leaving it cleaner than I left it!!!!!! He cared for our garden and lawn and handled any problems that arose easily. We would not hesitate to recommend him and would be happy to provide a telephone reference if needed. Contact Glenda on 0408120638. Happy to have him back again anytime.

I must apologise to Stephen for waiting so long to post this review. I would highly recommend Stephen for a house sit. We were very reluctant at first to leave our house to a total stranger but once we met Stephen he put us at ease especially his displays of affection for our 2 dogs. He made it so easy for us to enjoy our holiday knowing he was there to look after our house and dogs. He kept our garden and grounds in a neat and tidy condition. Our house was look after really well. While we were away there was a weather event in Bairnsdale which caused a lot of water to run through our bigger shed, he not only rescued things from getting too wet but virtually re-organised the shed which left me gobsmacked when I saw it, it was one of the jobs I had been putting off. We are so glad we met Stephen and had him house and pet sit for us. We will definitely ask him again if he is available. Thank you Stephen.

I can confirm that Stephen Hutchinson is very trustworthy and reliable man. He was looking for my little boy Buddy (dog) several times as I was traveling and I was so happy with him so I let him stay at my premises even when I was home.. My Buddy loved him and that was very important to me.
