I am an animal whisperer by trade.

Pet care experience

I have been around animals my entire life. I have always had a strong connection with my pets and other peoples animals. I have been watching friends and families pets since I was 12 years old and have continued to do so throughout my life. I have a Neopolitan Mastiff named Charlie and have had XXL breeds most of my life. I have always exceeded expectations for pet sitting in the past and plan to do the same on Rover. I will do my best to keep their schedule as normal as possible. I know when I am out of town my dog gets anxiety so I want them to be as comfortable as I can make them. I like big breeds and can handle them. I know some people are scared of watching a 150+lb dog. I say bring it on!! I love all sizes and shapes of dogs though. They are all unique in their own way. If there is anything beyond what you would expect me to do please just ask me. It never hurts to ask. I am open to taking care of other pets and animals in the household, get the mail, water plants, ect. I am super excited to get to know you and your pet!! If you like my service I would love build a relationship where I can watch your pup anytime you are out of town! Once your dog gets to know me and I know their schedule, it will make things much easier on all of us!

Chris did a great job watching our dogs! Extremely friendly and kept us posted on how they were doing. He came over to meet the dogs first to get acclimated and was detailed to ensure we had the routines laid out for him. Would highly recommend for any future needs! Thanks Chris!

Chris watched our dog Ivan with very little advanced notice and was fantastic! He was very accommodating and kept us informed while we were away. Would definitely book again!

I have known Chris for 6 years! He is such a kind and loving person especially to our furry friends! He has such a passion to care for animals and it shows daily in his care for our dog Charlie. He has grown up with dogs his whole life and has been a dog sitter for many of our friends. Chris will always make sure your pet is safe, loved and cared for. Your pet is in good hands!

I am a caregiver by nature. It is my personalities archetype. I extend this care to animals and everyone’s home. I treat it/ them as my own.

Information Chris G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know any specific places they like to go. If they are not good with other animals or certain animals to stay away from. How they like their food prepared. Any medications that will need to be administered. What their favorite fun activity is! What is their normal schedule? Are their any training techniques you are working on with them or any bad habits I should know about? Going in the trash, aggressive attitude towards other animals, sit, stay, lay down, roll-over ect. I love big breeds!! Mastiffs, Newfoundlands, American Bulldogs, Pitbulls, St. Bernards, Cane Corso, ect.

A typical day

I will go on walks where ever the animals are comfortable and where you recommend. Otherwise I like to take my dog to Evergreen, Lookout Mountain, Bear Lake, and Red Rocks. I also like to go to City Park and Wash Park. The Cherry Creek Reservoir open space is awesome for off leash walks as well. I like taking walks just as much as dogs do, playing fetch, tug-o-war, long hikes, and occasionally running if the pups are up for it.

My daily schedule is fairly open. I wake up around 7am typically do yoga, meditate, drink coffee and take my dog Charlie on a walk/ play with Mooshki my Cat. I typically go to a coffee shop from 11-2pm to get out of the house for work. I come home around 2 and will walk the dog and play with my cat. Then I usually will head out around 5-6 for a yoga class/ go to the gym. Once I get home we go on another long walk for the evening and then I make dinner. Sometimes we go on another walk after dinner, sometimes we just go out for a potty break. We typically go on 3-4 walks per day. I spend a lot of time caring for my animals because they are my babies! I will give your animals the same care I give mine because all animals deserve the best possibly care in my opinion. 😊
