About Chris

We live in a beautiful quiet street in Mt Barker with very pleasant walks all round us and within comfortable walking distance to Laratinga Wetlands.

 We have friendly dogs of our own and are a mature couple experienced with all aspects of pet care who understand that pets are family. I have a National Police Check and am trained in animal first aid. We have spent ten years running a small breed dog rescue and other programs designed to assist people and their pets.

Dogs will enjoy living inside as one of the family in air conditioned comfort, with regular play time, cuddles and belly rubs, home cooked meals, the chance to run around freely, and regular nature and adventure walks. The dogs enjoy playing ball and other games with one another and us and each opther. We also take them out walking on different routes where they'll see cows, sheep, rabbits, kangaroos, horses and perhaps the occasional Koala.

I take regular photos and videos and share these with you so that you know how your precious family member is going while you're not there with them.  

We only take small dogs up to 15 kg, who are up to date on vaccinations at our property in Mt Barker but we have other team members who can offer a farm-stay holiday for bigger dogs as well on acreage at either Mylor or Langhorne Creek. We also have team members in Norwood, Oakden and Henley Beach. A percentage of all fees paid goes toward our rescue activities and giving dogs a second chance at health and happiness with a new family. Its a win/win - you get exemplary care for your pets and know that you are also contributing to making life different for rescue pets at the same time.

Used Chris many times. 10/10 as always. Girls come back exhausted, clearly had a lot of fun.

Maple was well looked after for the half day I left her with Chris.

The property is well set up to keep the dogs occupied and happy with a large, secure, outdoor play area, as well as space inside for them to rest if need be.

I will be rebooking for the next few weeks until my business in Mt barker is concluded.
