About Chris

I love pets! I've been a sitter for my friends' pets whenever they go out of town and absolutely love it. I've looked after Border Collies, Huskies, Cavalier King Charles, Whippets, cats and even fish. To name a few. I'm always keen to expand my portfolio of furry friends. At home I have 2 Border Collies named Maisy and Millie, a cat named Emerald and 5 chickens.

My partner and I have done all of the training of our Border Collie ourselves and while she still has a way to go, I can safely say we're on the right track when it comes to training. Luckily for us she's very smart and a dream to train.

I've administered medications for cats and dogs. Whether they swallow tablets, need it mixed with spray cheese, or just need a squeeze of the gel on their back, I've got their medication requirements covered.

My dog has quite alot of energy and loves to keep me active. We regularly go for runs and walks, and she loves to play with the frisbee. Our walks/runs are usually anywhere between 30 minutes and an hour but I can cater to whatever pace and distance your dog needs. My yard is large, fully fenced and has plenty of room for running around and playing. The fence is high and the bottom is protected from any diggers that like to burrow. There's a shell pool outside and the inside is fully air-conditioned for those hot days here in Townsville. I have spare dog beds available but it is prefered that if they have a bed at home, it is brought over with them. I find that having a familiar place of their own helps them relax and settle in better.

At my home I can provide dog boarding every day and doggy day care on weekends. My partner and I regularly have alternating shifts and so if I'm not around due to work, she will be available to watch over your pet. I can also do house sitting or 1-2 daily house visits at your home. Whichever is more comfortable for you and your pets. I can send pictures of all the fun we're having at your request and if there are any special requirements, I will do what I can to make sure they're met.

I am available to meet on weekends and after 4:30pm on weekdays. If there are other requirements while you're away (such as bringing the bins in, checking for packages, etc) just let me know.

I can't wait to meet my next pet pal!

My boys had a wonderful time with Chris. They were happy and content when they got home. Snored all night. That’s a sign of a great time had by all. Thanks Chris
