Our home

Hi My name is Dave and my partner and I require a pet sitter to look after my cat and small dog while we are overseas. My house is 4 years old & fully fenced with a security gate. My cats name is Claws and my dogs name is chino. Everything is easy care we just want trustworthy caring people who treat our pets and home like their own. Our dog is one that needs company all the time so would suit someone working remotely. We do have a friend nearby that can provide back up cover if you need it ...

Chino is a 8 year old shitsu maltise cross who loves company, chasing balls, daily walks and outings. Claws is a 9 year old tabby cat very chill and likes to come up for pats and to sleep with you at night. They get wet and dry food twice a day and their water fountain topped up daily. They cannot be left more that 4 hours please.

I had a lovely time with Chino and Claw. David has a nice, comfortable house and they were very kind to me. The pets are very friendly and affectionate. I highly recommend them.
Chino is the best dog I have ever sit, he never gets in trouble with people or other dogs, really good with commands and a great companion to go everywhere. Claws is lovely too and will be extra affectionate during the winter. I had a great experience housesitting for Dave and Jo. The house is lovely in a very quiet and beautiful neighborhood
