Christopher G.
“Chris is one of the most compassionate dog care-takers I have ever employed. His background in animal medicine gave me the peace of mind to leave my elderly dog (who requires daily medications) under his care on several different occasions. Each time he would send me daily updates and occasional photos to put my mind at ease. When I returned home he would have a daily log to show me daily walks, play time, etc. Overall I was really impressed with his level of commitment to my old girl Muppet. When it was her time to go he even helped me to the animal hospital to say goodbye. Chris really went above and beyond and when I am ready for my next puppy you can be sure I will be giving him a call.”
