Pet care experience
Prior to moving to the Bethlehem area, I was an assistant manager at a dog daycare in New Jersey. As my supplementary job, I was also a full-time dog-sitter and dogwalker. I built a clientele of over 100 clients strictly through the word of mouth. I have experience with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I am also very experienced in the administration of all forms of medications. I completely mimic your routines with your pets so that they stay happy, healthy, and do not get stressed out. My main priority during my stays is that your pets enjoy their time during your vacation as much as you are enjoying your travel.
Reviews
I have known Chris for a long time and he is one of the most compassionate people that I know. He has a lot of patience, knowledge, and experience with animals so this job would be a perfect fit for him. Chris works at a doggy daycare in South Jersey and he has been working there for quite a bit of time now. He is very reliable, responsible, and hardworking. Chris always shows up to his shifts early and he is always more than willing to pick up extra shifts if the daycare is short on staff. He takes his job very seriously and always gives 100%. He works hard in everything that he does. Chris's positivity and great attitude never goes unnoticed either. He gets along so well with others and makes everyday a great one. Everyone at the daycare thinks highly of Chris and they are very lucky to have him has an employee. Chris also has three dogs of his own at home. He takes very good care of them and always spends a lot of time with them. Most importantly, Chris always makes sure that every animal that he interacts with feels loved. He has a big heart and an even bigger heart for dogs. I highly recommend that you reach out to Chris and make him apart of your team.
About Chris B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for your pets in your home and ensure they stay safe, happy, and healthy by completely mimicking your routine with your pets. For example, if you walk them at 9am, 3 pm, and 9pm then that is exactly the schedule I keep them to. I administer any medications exactly how and when you administer them. I strictly adhere to the diet and bathroom schedule you have laid out for them. I do not provide table scraps. I do always ask for the information of your pet's veterinary office just to have in worst case scenario and I always ask for any allergies or medical information that is pertinent to your pets.
Information Chris B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know whether the dog is dog/cat friendly, how high of a prey drive it has, who their vet is, any behavioral quirks, any special needs and/or medical needs. No breed preferences, welcome to working with any dog.
A typical day
Any local woods or parks around the Lehigh Valley area. I always treat dogs as my own, whether its neighbors' dogs, friends dogs, or dogs at the doggy daycare where I was employed. I play fetch with them, provide enrichment activities, and if needed/ applicable then I can also continue basic training drills, during my stay, that you have started with your pets.

Availability
Pet care fits with my schedule because I am going to be attending school online so I will be more than willing and able to be as flexible as needed. The only day I have in-person classes is Monday late morning/early afternoon. Other than that time, I am able to fill any and all scheduling times.
