Jan & Stephen

We’re, a retired woodworker and graphic designer from the US. visiting Australia for a year to spend time with our daughter, an Australian citizen, and to become better acquainted with her adopted country.

Our home has been "peopled" by dogs, cats, horses and the occasional guinea pig. Having spent most of our lives on a small farm in Kentucky, we’re resourceful, capable, and reliable. We enjoy the company of animals and understand the importance of keeping their routine and dispensing plenty of affection. I enjoy sketching and painting dogs, cats and horses. (see photos).

Our 13 year old Australian Shepherd Poodle mix, who is unable to make this journey with us, is a beloved member of our family and will be sorely missed. We are in the habit of walking our Tallulah twice a day and look forward to caring for your home and pets as if they were our own. I can provide references for cats, dogs and horses that have been in our care.
