65, Retired

Hi there,

Currently I am in the process of changing home from Auckland to the South Island and will housesit while choosing a new home.

I love animals, have a lot of experience with them, and will take good care of your special one(s).

A New Zealander, I have had a career in banking of which 25 years spent in Europe. I lived in the UK, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and Denmark and speak German, Italian, and French.

Iโ€™m a great outdoors enthusiast - in particular hiking, climbing, and skiing.

Also roadies are a passion of mine.

Iโ€™m a non-drinker and non-smoker, but still a fun, sociable person!

House sitting is a temporary partnership with an owner and I bring positivity, reliability, honesty, and good communications to that partnership. For me, great owners also have the same approach! I get great pleasure from seeing owners returning and being delighted with the house sitting experience. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Many owners prefer mature house sitters and I think I also see it the same way, so ideally the owners are aged 30+ ๐Ÿ˜Š

Donโ€™t hesitate to contact me to find out more!

Christopher is great, he was super active taking care of Dutton.. daily walks and adventures into town. Left the house clean as well. Good communication throughout. Have already booked him again for future!

It was lovely to get to know chris before the house sit and our wee dog to get used to him. He looked after both Baxter and house perfectly.

Christopher did a great job of looking after our place for just over three weeks in July. He is a great communicator and we would have no hesitation in recommending him!

Chris was an excellent person to have in to look after the house and animals for 5 weeks. Communication was really easy and he was able to run everything without any trouble. The two cats and the Labrador seemed to be very happy also which made it so much easier for us to be away. We also arrived back to a lovely clean house. We would recommend Chris to anyone needing a great reliable and capable house sitter. We would happily have Chris back again.

Horrible Aftermath Crashed & damaged our car and not even willing to assist in getting a proper Insurance claim done. Damage to our house (by our pet) all 3 places are clearly showing she tried to escape. 1. A Cat door - cracked the surrounding glass as our dog tried to force herself through. 2. Stairs eaten as it was closed off with a baby gate. 3. Ripped 2 curtains off both in front of the doors extremely wrinkled. It clearly looks like she was left alone for extended periods of ... MORE

Negative reviews are never welcome. A detailed rebuttal of what has been written here would provide a very different picture of events. It is not my wish, however, to add negativity to negativity. I am happy for the positive reviews I receive to stand as testimony to the good job I do as a house ... MORE
Chris was an excellent housesitter who was easy to communicate with both before and during the house sit. He looked after our fluffy dog really well and was even happy to have a go at brushing her long fur! Chris also feed our rabbits, guinea pig and fish with great care. Chris stayed in our Airbnb looking after the property keeping it neat and tidy. Whilst we were away he replied to messages and even sent some photos reassuring us that our dog was well looked after. We would highly recommend ... MORE

Safe house!

There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
