MR TRUSTWORTHY

63, Published Writer

I relocated to Nelson, NZ from the UK around 6 yrs ago, and have lived and worked in Australia and travelled much of the world. I am a friendly, reliable and organised person, and have worked in a variety of fields including Acoustics, IT and Environmental Health, and I am currently in the process of writing a screenplay. I have lived with dogs, cats, rats, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, chickens and ducks around the home and always treat them caringly. I enjoy meeting new people, looking after animals and gardening, I am a non-smoker, have my own car, and have all the experience of owning and maintaining a property over many years. Excellent references available on request.

Chris was absolutely fantastic! When we read all the great reviews from previous people, we were skeptical that someone could actually live up to all those comments but Chris definitely did. Communication was excellent and the house/dogs were in better shape when we returned than when we left. Thanks Chris!

JANE (Atawhai South Island, Dec 2023 - 1 week 4 nights)
Had the pleasure of returning to a clean house and a calm happy cat :-) All in all a very positive experience.
 
JAMES (Marybank / Nelson South Island, Oct 2022 - 4 days)
Chris took great care of our house and pets. We felt completely relaxed on our overseas holiday knowing that our dogs were safe and enjoying Chris's company. We arrived back to a clean home and happy hounds. Thank you, Chris!
 
BECKY & AMY (Stoke South Island, Oct 2022 - 1 week 3 days)
Chris was a brilliant housesitter and I was confident my pets and house were well taken care of. Will definitely use again! Highly recommended.
 
DEBORAH (Stoke South Island, Sep 2022 - 2 days)
Chris took great care of our 2 dogs and our home was clean and tidy on our return. Chris was flexible and was able to stay 2 extra nights and even dropped us off at the airport.
 
KAREN (Nelson South Island, Apr 2022 - 1 week 6 days)
It was great to meet Chris, I felt very comfortable leaving my home in his care for 6 weeks. Every thing was well cared for and no issues at all. Great communication during my trip. Highly recommend Chris.
 
DIANA (Tahunanui South Island, Mar 2021 - 2 months 1 week)
As soon as I met Chris I felt very comfortable chatting with him and it was easy to explain my pet routines. Very happy dog and cat on our return and all well looked after at the house. Grateful to Chris and will definitely be in touch again for the next trip!
 
GEORGINA (Golden Hills Road , Feb 2021 - 3 days)
Chris was wonderful . House was a story as we left it . Dogs an veggie garden well looked after .
 
TRACY (Motueka South Island, Feb 2021 - 5 days)
Thoroughly recommend Chris who looked after house & animals for 11 days. Came back to clean house, laundry done and pets in good shape. Good communications while away. Would welcome him back any time
 
DON & LINDA (Blenheim South Island, Dec 2020 - 11 days)
Chris was an excellent sitter. The animals were very well looked after. His communication was very good and the house neat and tidy. Would have him sit again
 
GAIL (Wakefield , Oct 2020 - 2 weeks 1 day)
Chris looked after my cat Sammy and my house for 8 nights. Sammy was comfortable with Chris from the first time he met him, and when I got home from holiday the house was clean and everything as I left it. Chris was also quick to respond to my communication texts and messaging which I liked.
 
JULIE (Nelson South Island, Sep 2020 - 1 week 1 day)
Chris looked after our house and Meg our cat while we were away for 10 days. Chris was obviously a cat lover and we were more than happy to leave things in his capable hands. It was lovely meeting him prior to our holiday and he provided us just the right amount of updates while we were away. The house was just as we left it and he even watered my precious indoor plants. Would gladly recommend Chris and use his services again.
 
DOUG AND CHARLOTTE (Mapua , Aug 2020 - 1 week 3 days)
We had an unusual sit requirement this time. I needed someone to take care of the dogs as my husband was home but working and had to be away foe a month. Chris was just perfect. Wr highly recommend him. Unfortunately we had to cut every short by a week due to covid19 and my return in a huryy before the lockdown.
 
JUDITHA (Hope South Island, Mar 2020 - 4 weeks)
Chris was a great find! Relaxed and very caring. My elderly dog, JJ, and cat, Waffles, were very comfortable with him and clearly well looked after whilst I was away for 2 1/2 weeks. JJ needed medication and cream applied and Chris kept me updated. He kept my vegetable plants alive - much appreciated! And the house was clean and tidy when I returned. Would definitely request Chris again and would recommend.
 
CARLA (Stoke South Island, Jan 2020 - 19 days)
Chris was fantastic and we highly recommend him. Due to an unexpected death in our family Chris was so kind and flexible with his start date. Our pony and pigs were very well cared for. The ponies paddock was in great condition and Chris had followed all the animal care instructions perfectly. Our house was beautiful and tidy when we returned . We will be using Chris again in the future.
 
JANE & CHRIS (Brightwater , Dec 2019 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Chris communicated often which was great for me. Very friendly and has stayed in touch. The cat loved him from the beginning.
 
CORAL (Nelson Central South Island, May 2019 - 2 weeks 4 days)
Chris looked and care for your home for 2 weeks. First time we leave the pets alone for that long but since the minute we met him, we knew he will do a fantastic job. The house was spotless when we got back and the pets happy as ever. We highly recommend Chris anyone. We left peace in mind and got back with a smile. Thank you Chris for looking after our home and pets.
 
JIHANE (Mapua South Island, Apr 2019 - 2 weeks)
Chris is a very relaxed and kind person - as proved by the fact that Pebbles, our cat, climbed on his lap immediately he sat down! He was kind and relaxed - leaving the house just as we like it! Thank you, Chris - hope too see you again soon.
 
SUE (Blenheim Central South Island, Dec 2018 - 2 weeks 2 days)
