Review from Louis N.:

I'd like to recommend Christopher Newman as a pet sitter worthy of five stars. He looked after Basil and Coco, our two small dogs, for a week. Coco is no problem at all, except for wanting all the attention she can get, but Basil was bought off a drug-dealer who tortured him and he will not relate to anyone except my wife, me and Coco.

So it was a wonderful surprise to discover that when we returned from our holiday Basil adored Christopher and would lick and liked to be cuddled by him ( a first!). When we run into Christopher Basil immediately shows true affection towards him. No other person outside Basil's immediate family gets that reaction. My wife, Mandy and I have had others look after our dogs but Christopher has proved the best. Dogs adore him.

Description - me and my home:

Hi. I am a 54 year old male visual artist and graphic designer. I work from my home. I absolutely love pets and can give extra special 24 hour care, love and attention to your pet or pets. I live in a large apartment with a secure balcony (and Crimsafe security screens on all doors) overlooking the newly renovated tennis and basketball and Woolloomooloo playground area. Around and also near to me are lots of green areas and parks.

I love to walk dogs. I also like to take them on activities. If you would like me to I can take your pet or pets on exciting extracurricular excursions (i.e. to cafes, to art galleries, outdoor sculpture appreciation walks, special events for pets). Very near to me and my 2011 district are really lovely doggie leash-free fun-parks- Embarkation Park, Lawrence Hargraves Reserve, Beare Park, Macleay Reserve, Rushcutters Bay Park, Cook + Phillip Park etc) or if you prefer I can just simply enjoy time with your pet or pets in my casa, and take your pet on my near home walks and leisurely strolls in gardens.

I have many years of experience with many breeds.

For all bookings, it is absolutely imperative that I meet you and your pet/s (free of charge), either at my casa if pet/s staying at mine or at yours if I am minding your pet/s there. There will be an interview/ chat, (but also, importantly of course, to discuss your pet/s needs, likes/dislikes, requirements and/or any idiosyncrasies I should know about. I will be taking notes). I am very adaptable, (meaning that, if your pet is allowed to sit on my lounge/s, if that is the norm in your casa, or to be in a pet bed near to me). I will not accept aggressive, badly trained pets or pets that I feel would be unhappy to settle in with me as a temporary carer. Dog needs to be socialised. You will need to provide your prefered food for the term of your dog's stay and I will usually only take 1 dog or (2-3 dogs from the same family) at a time. I will of course though, offer my services if the meet and greet is successful and if I feel that your pet/s will have a lovely time. I'm confident they will tho.

I can assure you, if you want your pet to have lots of love, extra special care, a really really happy time and lots of memories, then you can count on me! Trust me; your pet will have an awesome time.
