Who is Aussie Pet Sitter? A responsible, reliable, friendly Australian and proud permanent resident named Chris Barlow, that's who.

Chris Barlow arrived in the States in 2002 from Wollongong, Australia. An avid animal lover from early on, she studied animal care for two years and was a regular volunteer at the RSPCA.

While her career path ultimately led her away from her dream of becoming a veterinarian and into the field of education and academic administration, Chris' special gift with animals stayed with her.

As the principal founder of Aussie Pet Sitter, Chris now puts the same amount of passion and pride and professionalism into caring for animals as she did in her previous life as an educator. Chris is also trained in Pet First Aid & Care with PetTech.

Animals have always been my passion. I’ve owned everything from dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fishes, hamsters; I even had a frog! Maybe that’s why I recently left my career to become a Veterinary Technician. I just can’t get enough of little critters! Nowadays my husband and I stick with three: Our Whippet, Harley. He’s without a doubt the fastest couch potato you’ll ever meet. He’s super lazy and incredibly sweet. In his free time he sleeps, chases squirrels, and begs for treats. Then there’s Penelope. We think she’s a Jackabee. She’s a Pound Dog Special with a heart of gold. Penelope thinks she’s a guard dog, weighing in at a whopping 25 pounds.And our little panther, Gordo. We’ve found him at only about three weeks old, flea bitten and abandoned. He taught us that sometimes you pick your pets, and sometimes they pick you!
An animal’s happiness and welfare are very important to me, and I look forward to servicing the animal lovers of South Tampa.

I have always had pets of some kind in my home.  I grew up with dogs mostly and they all have a special place in my heart.  I love coming home and getting kisses from my cocker spaniel Gracie.  We got her last May from a small dog rescue in St. Petersburg.  She was only ten months old and very shy but what a great dog she has grown into.  She loves to cuddle in your lap and go for long walks.  We also have a cat named Zorro.  He lives on our back porch and enjoys his “condo life”.
I know how important it is for your dog to have a mid day walk.  I see and hear the excitement when you come in and the contentment when you leave them after the visit.  I enjoy the walks as much as the dogs do!
I look forward to many opportunities and rewarding experiences with this service in the South Tampa area.

I've always loved animals. When I was a little girl, I had guinea pigs......up to 30 at a time. Then as an adult, when I lived on a farm, I had cats, dogs, chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys and rabbits.
These are my very special babies. Teal (like the duck) is the blonde and Shira is her red sister. They really are half sisters.....they have the same father. Once I got Teal, I knew I had to have another golden retriever......there's no such thing as just one! Shira is six, and Teal will be eight in February, but they both think they're still puppies.
Each of my girls has a "job." Teal brings in the newspaper and squirrel hunts with me. Shira--who couldn't care less about retrieving anything--goes to visit nursing homes through the Project Pup program. Both of them graciously consent to share "their" king-sized bed with me!
