About Anthony

Hi all,

My name is Anthony. I am 36 years old. About 5 years ago, my wife, Faith, and I moved to NZ from Arizona, USA. In early 2022, we both became permanent residents and in April 2022, we moved down from Wellington to Christchurch where we bought our first home in Addington. Woohoo!! My partner and I have no children and no pets. The home includes a fully fenced and secure yard for heaps of puppy playtime!!

I have tons of experience with dog sitting and walking. I was a dog sitter back in the United States for about 5 years, and am very trustworthy when it comes to caring and looking after dogs. I've looked after many different types of dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have provided care for special needs dogs and I am experienced with administering oral medications and eye/ear drops. I will treat your pet with care and love, as if they were my own. I love playing catch or fetch or any other games that your dog may also enjoy.

I would love for the opportunity to look after your dogs while you are away. I am happy to answer any questions or if you'd like to meet up for a quick "meet n' greet" with your pet, just message me!  

Service Details below

Dog boarding in my home:

Faith and I live in a 1 bedroom flat with a good sized fully fenced yard. I am able to care for your dogs 24/7 as this has become my full time gig. Well actually, dog sitting and maintaining/fixing up the home have become my dual full time job 😁. I will take your dogs for walks around my quiet neighbourhood. I typically take about 1-2 photos each day to show how things are going. Please be sure to bring your dog's favourite toys, treats, food, etc. I will only accept dogs from different families if all parties are comfortable with this situation. A meet and greet will be necessary to confirm we all are a good fit. Unfortunately, I won't be able to care for puppies (under 6 months). I do prefer to watch 1 or 2 dogs at the same time, but I am able to watch up to 3 dogs from the same owner, as long as the pack isn't too rough or roudy. Due to the smaller size of our home, I cannot take more than 1 large dog at a time, unless the large dogs are relaxed and not high energy. The largest size dog I can accept is 40kg.

A little more about my services:

What is your motivation to be a pet sitter?

I love animals and dogs are simply the best. My partner and I plan on adopting our own pup one day, but for now dog sitting will do just fine.  

Do you have previous experience?

I do not have any official certifications for training, however, I have about 5 years of experience walking and sitting dogs on a similar website/app in the USA. I have experience providing oral medications. Feel free to ask me any other questions about my experience.

Do you only take vaccinated pets into your home? 

While your dogs should always be vaccinated, please let me know if they are not and we may be able to still make arrangements.

How long can you stay in the owner's home during house sitting?

I should be able to stay as long as I am needed. Lengths can very depending on needs.

What home security measures will you take during house sitting?

I will follow the instruction and guidelines set by the owner as closely as possible.

Ted had a wonderful time staying with Anthony. He was very well cared for, and returned home a settled and happy dog. Anthony sent us lots of updates, and we really appreciated his kind and friendly and prompt communication. Highly recommend, and will use again.

Anthony kept us updated with regular photos of the dogs out on walks or relaxing at his home. When we picked the dogs up, both looked happy and healthy. I could certainly recommend Anthony as a pet sitter.

+5 years of experience
I have a little over 5 years of dog sitter/minder/walker experience at my house in the USA from 2013-2018. My partner and I moved to New Zealand a few years ago and I am quite excited to restart my dog sitting passion. I have recently moved from Wellington to Christchurch and I am able to walk or sit your dogs at your home or at my home. We just recently purchased our first property. Hooray!!!!! A little more about my experience: I have looked after special needs dogs and have experience providing oral medications. I've cared for dogs from as early as 6 weeks young to as old as 16 years old, as well as cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes :) Send me a message and I'd be happy to meet and greet with you and your pet!
