About Personalised Mobile Vet — Brisbane's Home Visit Vet
PMV exists for pets and people who need more time — and a vet who’s genuinely prepared to give it. As a fear-free vet serving Brisbane and surrounds, PMV offers home visit veterinary care that works around your pet — not the other way around. Some animals are frightened by travel, waiting rooms, noise, handling, or being pushed through a rushed appointment. Some owners are dealing with age, illness, mobility issues, time pressure, or situations that are simply not straightforward. v
Care is provided at home, where your pet is in their own environment and there is more room to slow down, observe properly, and adapt the approach as needed. There are no fixed time limits on consultations, no KPIs, and no corporate pressure shaping what gets recommended. Advice is based on what is actually best for your pet, taking into account their temperament, health, home environment, and your circumstances. The goal is simple: honest, flexible, unhurried veterinary care that fits the patient in front of us, rather than forcing every patient into the same mould.
Dr Stu
I never set out to be “the mobile vet guy”. Early on, I was drawn to surgery — the precision, the problem-solving, and the hands-on nature of it. But after several years in busy clinics, I found I could not practise to my desired standard within the time restraints of the clinic setting. I also struggled with the use of KPIs, and with the moral dilemma of them being used to influence recommendations and remuneration.
I also learned that patience is one of the most underrated tools in veterinary medicine. A pet tells you more about their condition when they are calm, feel safe, and have time to settle. By instinct, if a pet does not feel safe, it will often hide signs of weakness or illness. When an animal is frightened, overwhelmed, or on edge, it becomes harder to properly assess what is going on.
That is what led me to build a fear-free vet practice in Brisbane around one simple idea:
Taking the time to let a pet adjust, feel safe, and be handled at their pace often gives a clearer picture of their health and makes the whole experience less stressful for everyone involved, From routine consultations through to at-home euthanasia, every visit is delivered where your pet feels safest.
I’m the vet who will sit on your laundry floor until your dog decides it is safe to come closer. I will wait for your pet to adjust, because rushing that process helps no one. If I run late, it is usually because Fluffy was extra anxious today and needed a bit more time.
When I’m not on the road, you’ll usually find me with my now only child, Reggie, “fixing” something and somehow making it worse, working on garden projects, or attempting home improvements that turn into expensive learning experiences. I tend to give a lot of time and energy to the people and things I care about, and little to the things I don’t.
I’m fuelled by coffee, dry humour, and the satisfaction of seeing an animal finally relax. That’s the moment that matters most to me — not the clock, not the KPI, not the spreadsheet. Just the peace that comes when care and patience finally meet.

Jo Kutemann
Client connection and care
Jo joined the PMV team in December 2025 on a casual basis, stepping in to help wrangle the chaos of a one-man operation that desperately needed a hand. A schoolteacher by qualification, Jo brings organisation, compassion, and a no-nonsense approach to getting things done—she’s already knocked out more admin in 24 hours than some people manage in a month.
She’s the kind of person who’ll give anything a crack, keep you laughing through the tough days, and isn’t afraid to whip Dr. Stu into line when needed. Jo’s been through her share of challenges, and it’s given her a heart of gold and a genuine understanding of what it means to show up for people (and pets) when it matters most.
Whether you’re calling with a question, booking an appointment, or just need someone who gets it—Jo’s your person. You can joke with her, cry with her, and trust that she’ll make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Got something to offer?
PMV runs on a caffeinated Dr Stuart and the blessed heart of Jo who puts out the fires. There’s a long list of duties that neither are qualified for: admin, scheduling, client communication, bookkeeping, tax, and the general business machinery that keeps a small business running.
If you’re even a little curious about how a mobile vet business works and you’ve got something to offer, we’d genuinely love to hear from you.
There’s no formal role here, no set hours, and no required commitment. PMV is built on flexibility and staff wellbeing first, where work should fit in with life, not the way around. Whatever arrangement actually works for you is probably something we can work with. Whether you want to chip in occasionally or explore something more ongoing, just reach out and we’ll have a conversation.
