About Stephen

I am a semi retired businessman who as a family man had every pet imaginable from Tortoises to Horses and Stick Insects to Budgies. My family are long grown up and flown the nest so I enjoy the travel aspect of pet/house sitting and meeting new people and their pets.

I am DBS certified.

I have a full Linked In profile.

I have been using Airbnb for business and pleasure since its inception with a 100% rating showing I understand how to care for other people's property

I have a full clean drivers licence.

I need only a good internet connection to be able to work.

I have been sitting since 2008. My career started indirectly after a few weeks sofa surfing after my divorce when a friend asked me to look after two aging cats on her annual holiday. Since than a variety of pets and homes have been under my watchful eye. I have completed 8 sits this year with another 4 already booked before Christmas.

Dogs are a particular favourite though I have only a cat at my own home at present.

I am calm around all animals and I am able to make decisions quickly.

Specific Skills

I speak English & Other
+20 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I have had my own pets including, hamsters, Guinea pigs, budgies, tortoise, dogs, cats and horses. I ride and jump. I have trained dogs from puppies, to ensure that they are accepted by all who meet them. I have looked after aging cats and dogs and given oral medication. I regularly give my own cat their flea and tick application despite protests. My labradors all four of them lived beyond fifteen years and my miniature schnauzer beyond 21 years. I have helped nurse a horse who had punctured their pedle bone and was recommended for being destroyed, back to full health.
