Dog's Best Friend
Pet care experience
I live in Las Vegas and am happy to sit your dog at my home or stay with them at yours while you're away! I've had dogs my entire life and have trained and cared for them from puppy to senior with great success. I ran a dog-sitting business in New York City for over 5 years and have been doing the same here in Vegas since I moved. As of right now, for the first time in my life, I do not own a dog of my own so I have plenty of love to give yours. When sitting from your home it'll feel like you never left! Dogs (and cats) retain their routine, structure, and environment and their anxiety is significantly decreased. Life goes on for them and they're just happy to be home, fed, and have that human attention they crave and are used to. Totally beats a doggie daycare, pet hotel, or kennel by a long shot for them (and us)! Also happy to watch them at my home if necessary. Feel free to message me to discuss your situation! Notes: (Additional rates may apply depending on distance, early drop-off and late pick-up times as well as last minute, weekend, or holiday bookings)
Reviews
Chris is great with our dog Gertie. Always professional, respectful, and communicative. 100% would use again.
Chris has been awesome! This is our second time using him and he is very communicative and makes sure to send lots of pictures/updates. He gets along great with our dogs and helps out around the house. We totally forgot to remind him about trash day on Saturday and he brought the trash cans out and back up to our driveway.
Chris is the dog whisperer! He did an amazing job house- and dog-sitting for us. We have used Chris three times and he never disappoints.
Chris is super mature and understanding when it comes to house sitting and keeping up with the needs of pets. He was great to our two pups (plus bird and gecko) for our two week vacation. We asked a lot from him, and he definitely followed all of our instructions that we supplied. Chris also stayed the night for most days to help keep our pets on their usual schedule. Additionally, our second pup got her heat while we were gone and he handled it very well. My only wish is that he could’ve stayed a little bit longer in the mornings, but I completely understand that Chris has a life and obligations of his own outside of the house sitting. We already asked a lot of him so it wasn’t a big deal. We supplemented his house sitting with a family friend coming to check on our bird and gecko every few days, and that also helped keep our pups happy. They are very social and needy :) I would absolutely book Chris again, and if you have a vacation that needs someone to watch your house and pups, I would recommend Chris. Our house was well taken care of and our pets were all happy and healthy when we got back. Thank you so much Chris! We hope to book you again on our next big vacation :D

I own a property with high walls and a completely enclosed private backyard. The house itself is puppy proof and minimalist in nature. There are no risks or places for them to get into any troubles.

I don't have any limitations for breeds, I love all dogs! I definitely find it helpful to know their routine (potty breaks, feeding, etc.), whether or not they are comfortable in cars, on a leash, and at dog parks. Also anything concerning past aggressive behavior, separation anxiety, and if they go after prey animals like birds and squirrels as well as other dogs of a certain size. Energy levels are always a plus so I can accommodate them accordingly! Also good to know: emergency contact, local vet info, any dietary info, and whether or not the dog is good off-leash or would be a candidate for the dog park. Most of this will be discussed during a meet-n-greet so we can chat about more then!
A typical day
They can definitely expect to enjoy their own personal routine, a fenced in yard, and lots of attention. I have worked remotely / from home since 2015 so I have additional flexibility to meet their needs as well as yours. I can be flexible for whatever structure or schedule they're used to.
