62, Bus Driver

I am 64 years old, non smoker, reliable, honest and a big animal lover with experience of a wide variety of animals including medicating due to 16 years of volunteering with the SPCA and 2 years with the Animal rescue unit. 10 years ago I received a queen Elizabeth golden jubilee medal for services to the SPCA..

I have sat for quite a few home owners now and enjoy the variety of homes and different animal characters this lifestyle brings.

All homes and animals will be accepted, and looked after responsibly.

I will also take photos and video of your pets that I can then facebook, text or e:mail to you while you are away to put your mind at ease about their well being.

Because I am restricted to the Wellington region I can meet you beforehand and would be a phone call/e-mail away for your future house sitting needs.

Steve.

Preferred Locations:Greater Wellington region only

Stephen was great. He helped me out at short notice, was flexible and cheerful. I came home to a happy cat, very clean court yard and tidy house. A perfect outcome.

We had Stephen look after our pooch Oscar and house for a very short stay. We came back to an immaculate house and a happy Oscar. There were a couple of timing glitches, no-one at fault, and Steve was very accommodating and understanding. Would thoroughly recommend Steve to anyone else in the future.

Great communication from Stephen before, and during the house sitting. Excellent care of the house and two fur babies, keeping them walked and active. Stephen provided regular photo updates, and responded to all communications very quickly. Thank you so much.

Stephen has been excellent for my cat, and I cannot wait to have him again (and I am sure my cat too!). I can fully relax when I go away knowing that my cat is in such good hands! Thank you very much, Stephen!

Thank you so much Deb. I do my very best to keep owners happy. I know you've said it was meant to be 5☆ for pet care, but 4☆ is pretty close. Hope to see you again soon.
Thanks Steve. Excellent communication. House left beautifully clean. Really appreciate the extra effort you went to. Look forward to having you back again. Cheers Pete

Thank you Peter, Your house and Mia were a pleasure to care for.
Stephen was a wonderful sitter. Sent us updates of our dog, letting us know what they were up to. We wouldn't hesitate to invite him back.

Thank you so much guys. Very kind words.
Stephen was an excellent house sitter. We came home to a happy cat, spotless house, the bed remade, and lunch prepared in the fridge for us. Great communication and we appreciated Stephen coming to meet us before we went away. We have already asked him to come back later this year.
 
KATE (Johnsonville North Island, Apr 2021 - 4 days)
Stephen was one of the best sitters we have ever had. The house was spotless when we returned from our trip and the animals were all their happy selves. Steve sent us lots of photos of the pets and was great at communicating throughout his stay. It was the first time we've had a sitter where I knew there was nothing to worry about and that Steve had it under control. Thanks so much for staying :) we can't wait to have you back for future sits! I'm sure the pets can't wait too! Especially the ... MORE
 
NATALIE (Wellington North Island, Feb 2021 - 4 days)
Very kind words, thank you Natalie.
Stephen was exceptionally quick to get back to me when I had two unfortunate cancellations with house sitters in a row, at a very short notice, and he looked after the house and pets very well! I will be happy to have him again to take care of everything!
 
ELENA (Strathmore Park , Dec 2020 - 2 weeks 4 days - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Very kind of you take the time to leave such a nice review. And I look forward to seeing you again soon.
A fantastic house sitter. We had Steve come and housesit for us while we were away for a week. Steve was instantly accepted by our young Lab and put our mind at ease. The house was spotless when we arrived home and our Dog, cat and chickens had been looked after and spoilt beautifully. We will be happy to use Steve again in the future and reccomend to others.

Thank you so much. Such a glowing review. Hope to see you again soon. Hope you like your review. Steve.
No rating Steve was instantly accepted by our two dogs and cat which gave me piece of mind would recommend Steve to anyone he has a big heart and is very caring towards animals and looks after our home. We will use Steve again if he s available.
JULIE AND ALAN (Wainuiomata North Island, Jul 2017 - 2 weeks 5 days)
No rating A great housesitter :) ive known Steve for a while now and he has house sat many times. He is wonderful with the dogs and takes them for real long walks, he takes good care of the cat, particularly after its fighting antics and does triage... and the house is as tidy when i get back as when i left it. He's awesome, can highly recomend him :)
