About Craig

My family and I have always shared a deep connection with animals. We hold a profound respect for them, and it's fascinating how they respond to our emotions – irritation or love. Respect and love are the defining elements of this bond.

Growing up, I was consistently more thrilled than our dogs when it was time for a walk (imagine that, right)! My wife's dearest childhood friend was her family's cherished mixed-breed pup, a delightful blend of love and fluffiness. She would eagerly run home every day just to lie beside him, basking in the warmth of the summer sun. In the wintertime, cuddling on the couch under cozy blankets became the daily routine.

When my wife and I met and our relationship became more serious, we welcomed Friday, a short-haired domestic cat into our home. She was more akin to a dog than a cat, often joining us for baths, playing fetch, and curling up for cuddles. When our son was born, she instantly formed a close bond with him, becoming his constant companion. She kept a watchful eye on him, ensuring he was safe at all times. Friday even had a sixth sense – whenever our son was unwell, she would patiently wait by his bedside until he recovered.

Over the years, we've provided dog-sitting services for friends and neighbors, and it was always a joy for our son to feed "Luna and Aries" or take "Max" for a walk.

We offer in-home pet-sitting services, characterized by an abundance of affection, cuddles, and unwavering attention. Additionally, we can provide day and overnight pet-sitting to ensure your pets are in good hands. Our dog-walking services typically cover 1-2 kilometers, depending on the size of your beloved dog.

Some may describe their pets as akin to children, but I firmly believe that they are, in fact, their children. During our walks, we'll share the route and our location, keeping you informed every step of the way.

I admire the openness of dogs, who readily express their love, much like young children. They are overflowing with affection, eager to share it with anyone who cares to receive it.

Cats, on the other hand, have their own unique way of showing their loyalty and devotion. They may appear aloof, but their love runs deep, often surpassing that of dogs.

My son, Kyle, often accompanies me to visits and he is amazing with fur children. Sometimes people have told me that their fur baby doesn't like children, but during the visits, they'll cuddle up to him. He has an amazing heart, and I guess the fur ones can tell that about him.

Based in Mt Wellington, my family and I would be delighted to care for your furry family members, whether they need a simple walk, grooming, a meal, or just some human companionship. We understand the love and attention they so genuinely deserve and are committed to providing it.

I also don't mind watering your plants, taking out your bins - at no extra cost!
