A Good Sitter

61, Manager

I'm a great house keeper and good with all types of animals. While originally from Hawkes Bay I have lived in Europe where I'll be returning in 12 months or so. Family and business matters require me to be in New Zealand until then. I work remotely from home (your pets will have company and care) which is focusing on niche information systems for the higher education sector.

In short: responsible, mature, domestic, a keen gardener, and I have experience with, and care about, animals.

With kind regards

Chris Francis

Chris is a fantastic sitter. I felt completely relaxed leaving him in charge of the house and animals. Nothing seemed to worry him. The house was left pristine (he even cleaned my windows!!!!!!!), the dog was groomed and had obviously had plenty of love and exercise. He is a delighted man and we enjoyed some great conversation over a couple of drinks. He would be welcome back any time. Thanks Chris :)

Chris looked after our house and cats for 7 weeks while we were overseas. Unfortunately one of our cats developed an eye infection one week before we left which proved intractable. She required medication for 3-4 weeks before it finally resolved. Chris rose to this unexpected challenge, kept in good contact with us about her ongoing treatment and progress, and we came home to happy healthy cats. He kept the property swept and tidy - a herculean task given our walnut tree shedding leaves daily. ... MORE

Chris was an excellent communicator who was proactive in his care of our home and dog. Chris took very good care of our large dog while we were away for six weeks. We returned home to a slim, shiny, healthy and happy dog. Thank you very much for your care of Remy.

Great to be able to go away and know everything was covered. Chris took the dogs on lots of adventures and left the house beautifully, comms was good. Would have Chris sit again.

Chris' communication prior to and during the house sit was fantastic and made it easy to set up our arrangements. He left the house in an amazingly clean and tidy condition. We would gladly have him back :)

Green garden!

Make sure the garden and pot plants are thriving when you get back - get a house sitter.
