Dogs will be treated like royalty!
Pet care experience
I am a fun loving, energetic and responsible nurturer with lots of love to give! I have had dogs my entire life (boxers, soft coated Wheaton terriers, poodles, yorkies, bichons, etc.) and recently lost my Wheaton terrier Sammy at 13. Your dog will receive three-four walks a day, trips to nearby parks and playtime in between. Nothing makes me happier than caring for dogs (I can dispense all meds) and getting unconditional love in return! And I give an excellent tummy rub! ***Overnight rate is based on a 24 hour day. Any partial day is prorated.
Reviews
Chris, thank you for walking and taking care of cooper. I appreciate the reports and pictures. Our first meeting went great and I knew he’d be happy in your care. Thank you for your prompt arrivals and excellent care of my Cooper!
This is the 2nd time Chris watched my dog in my home. She is absolutely loving and reliable. I never have to worry that my fur baby is well taken care of. Will definitely book her again.
Chris was terrific. She stayed at my house for 4 days, watching my pets. She did a great job taking care of them both, and making them happy. When we got back home, the house was in perfect order just as I had left it. And the pets were sorry to see her leave. That is a good thing. ???
Chris took such great care of our dog. She is so careful with how she treats an animal. She is full of compassion and does what she has agreed to do.

I currently do NOT board dogs since my husband works from home. In a client's home I want to follow the routines the dog(s) are most comfortable with..
Information Chris B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know everything; their habits, idiosyncrasies, where/how they like to be petted, any medical conditions, how they usually handle different situations, what commands they know,etc. A good friend of mine calls me a dog "whisperer". I've been told that dogs returning to my care start wagging their tails and get excited when they realize I am coming back to them! Each dog/cat I come to know becomes like extended family.
A typical day
I love walking dogs to local parks and through residential neighborhoods. Playing with dogs and their toys is fun! I flick kibble or treats near dogs to get fussy dogs to begin eating. I talk to dogs using commands or words they are used to hearing and love to pet dogs to watch their eyes close. Your dogs sleeping arrangements are wherever he/she is most comfortable. When dog sitting in YOUR home, I would be able to care for dogs under 50 pounds. Sometimes I will play hide and seek or try to enrich their experience by introducing different ways/uses for things they are familiar with I ask a lot of questions before I dog sit so I know how to keep them relaxed. Feeding times, medication needs, favorite toys and treats, vets phone number, how does your dog like to be petted/played with, what may frighten your dog,etc.

Pet care is what I love and all I do! While house sitting, I consider your home “home base” and stay there the majority of the day.
