About Stephen

Hi there! 

I’m Steve, a 36-year-old dog lover from the UK now enjoying life in Australia as a full time dog walker. After leaving a career in finance, I moved here for a change and to follow my passion for dogs. Back in the UK, I had a wonderful Staffy-cross named Nala and was actively involved with the RSPCA, both fostering dogs and serving on the board of trustees for the Coventry and District Branch. 

Currently, I’m studying at Hanrob College in Sydney to become a professional dog trainer and behaviourist. I'm currently working on the following modules before enrolling in October's intake for Certificate IV in Animal Behaviour and Training:

  • Animal Behaviour and Methodology 
  • Animal Behaviour Strategy Plans 
  • Animal Behaviour Assessment and Strategy Plans 
  • With a clean Australian police check and a fit, active lifestyle, I’m well-equipped to handle dogs of all sizes. I treat every pet with the utmost care and affection, as if they were my own. 

    I offer dog walking and in-home drop-in visits. Boarding at my home can be considered once a dog is known to me. 

    Areas covered: Darlinghurst, Paddington, Darling Point, Potts Point, Elizabeth Bay, Rushcutters Bay, Woolloomooloo and Surry Hills. 

    I’d be happy to arrange a free, no-obligation meet-and-greet to ensure I'm the perfect match for you and your furry friend. I look forward to meeting you soon!

    Can’t thank Stephen enough for walking Reuben. Stephen is flexible, easy to deal with and gives us peace of mind Reuben is getting looked after.

    I highly recommend Steve! He is knowledgeable about dog behavior and is extremely patient too, he managed to get my anxious dog out for a walk!
