Hi and thank you for looking at my profile. I moved to Matakana with my wife and our West Highland Terrier in 2020 to escape the Auckland inner city. We now live on a large section down a long drive and have a little slice of paradise. I quit my corporate job in May 2022 to complete oversight on the renovation of our house. Now that project is completed I have thought about how I could be involved in the community with the bonus of doing something I am passionate about. Sadly our westie died in March this year at the ripe old age of 16. I now get to "babysit" my two fur grandbabies, both rescue dogs, on a regular basis. While we are not ready to get another pet of our own yet I get great satisfaction in caring for animals. I love how they all have their own unique personality that you get to know after a day or so. I have fostered many cats and a few dogs aside form my Grandparenting duties. I also have experience looking after horses. My wife is a registered nurse and devoted animal welfare advocate.

Amba had a great time with Chris. She was very relaxed and I felt confident that she was being looked after very well.
Chris and partner were so lovely. From the moment we made first contact with Chris until we went to collect our dog Douglas, Chris was so easy to talk to and committed to ensuring we felt at ease and keeping in touch.
Douglas obviously loved his stay with them because he ate well (he usually won’t eat if feeling at all anxious) and so it was such a relief to know that he was happy, as we were busy with other things. Chris also txt during that time to reassure us.
I’d definitely recommend Chris and would be very happy for Douglas to stay with them again :)
