About me

personSolo

65, Retired

Hi, my name is Chris, I am a mature recent retiree after working for many years in Blind education. Pet sitting is a great way to combine the two things I enjoy most, animals and exploring this wonderful country we live in. I have had and loved a wide variety of pets during my life time, sadly none atm. I am tidy, dependable, non smoker, keen gardener, you can rest assured your pets, home and gardens will be cared for. Please feel free to contact me if you require further info. Cheers Chris

Chris cared for my house, cat and chickens while I was away for a few days. Chris was friendly, accommodating and communicated reliably as often as I requested, and also took great care of everything so I could enjoy my time away without worry. When I returned my house was immaculate and Chris even left me a couple of little welcome home presents, which was above and beyond. Thank you so much, Chris, for an awesome house sit :)
Thanks for your kind words ☺️
Excellent housesitter. Communication was great leading up to the sit and we received photo updates every few days. The cats were happy and relaxed. The house was left clean and tidy. Even the neighbour made a new friend! We woyld happily have Chris back again in future.
Chris looked after our home and our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Nico for 3 weeks while my husband and I went to Australia. We found Chris to be very easy to deal with and she kept us up to date how Nico was and sent photos of their walks and adventures. We have no hesitation recommending Chris for future house sitting positions and would love to have her back again to look after our home and Nico. We came home to a lovely clean, tidy home and Nico was well looked after.
Chris was just perfect. Mac adored her and loved his many walks and day trips in the car. He was a happy chappy when we returned. Chris kept in touch throughout our time away with daily photos and confirmation that Tosh had been in and eaten, although rarely seen (nothing new there) The house was clean and tidy and everything in place and the bed linen washed and the bed remade. I will have no hesitation in booking Chris again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone, ... MoreChris was just perfect. Mac adored her and loved his many walks and day trips in the car.

Thank you Jacqui. More than happy to sit for you in the future
Chris is an amazing housesitter and I can just speak highly of her. She took great care of my pets and her communication was very good. I had a great break overseas and knew that I don't have to worry a bit. I will definitely try to book her in again next time Ill be away. Milo dearly misses her and the adventures they had together. Thank you Chris you are wonderful.
Thank you for your kind review Eva, I had a wonderful time :-)
Chris is an excellent house sitter. She kept the house immaculate and cared for all our animals meticulously. In particular she cared for our dog wonderfully. Chris is a real treasure and we cannot recommend her highly enough.
Chris was amazing, my house was super clean when I got home, my birds and chooks were so well cared for. Chris kept in contact, letting me know when she arrived. I was able to totally relax knowing everything at home was well cared for. I will use Chris again 100%
Thank you for your kind words. Happy to sit any time. Hi to Smidge, I'll check out his Facebook page.
Peace of Mind

Happy you!

With a house sitter looking after your pets, house and garden - you can really relax. Happy days.
