About Chris

Available for dog walking, pet visits to your home and house sitting.

I am currently travelling around Australia with my wife Carly (nurse and midwife). I'll be updating my location as I go.  Follow my adventures instagram.com/thepawguy

First and foremost I love animals of all varieties, shapes and descriptions. I was the proud owner of a beautiful Kelpie named Olly who unfortunately passed away on New Years day 2019, I miss him greatly but he'll always be in my heart.

As I mentioned I'm a huge animal lover and grew up with many pets. I have been working in the pet care industry for over 20 years and I've also worked at a Melbourne animal shelter. Experience working with dogs, cats and smaller animals: rabbits, hamsters, ferrets. Have also looked after fish, turtles, chickens and budgies. Not trained to administer medication and will not take pets requiring medication.

For all new bookings meet and greet free of charge.

House sitting: It will be myself and my wife staying. Can feed and walk pets, put bins out, collect mail, water plants (I don't have a green thumb, sorry!!!)

Walks: 1 hour walk for your dog. (Walks on or off leash dependant on your dog.)

Home visits: Up to 1 hour visit to your house, to hang out with your pet. Can walk, feed, play whatever you need.

2 × home visits: Up to 1 hour for the 1st visit and up to 30 minutes for 2nd visit.

This is the second time Chris has looked after our two dogs in our home and they absolutely love him. He even got our Springer to play off lead without running away - well done. I recommend him to everyone.

Boston, my 7 month old GR pup, and I were very happy with Chris - he accommodated his needs and I looked forward to my daily photos, feeling reassured he was out and about in his familiar environments. A great sense of relief that I could reply on Chris to take him out daily at particular times.

I would highly recommend and book Chris again!
