Professional, Punctual, Playful!

Hi, I’m Chris Bogardus! As a proud dog parent to Fiona, a rescue pup from Puerto Rico, I know firsthand that every dog is unique—with their own quirks, energy levels, and personalities. Fiona has taught me patience, structure, and the importance of proper introductions (she can be a little reactive at first, but with the right approach, she quickly shows her sweet and goofy side). Because of that experience, I’m confident and comfortable working with dogs of all temperaments—from shy and cautious to high-energy and social butterflies. ⸻ Why I’m the Best Choice for Your Pup 🐶 • Experienced Dog Owner: I’ve helped my own rescue thrive through training, exercise, and lots of love. • Patience & Understanding: I know how to read a dog’s body language and adjust to their comfort level. • Trust & Safety First: Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or playtime, your dog will be treated like family. • Fun & Active: From walks in the park to fetch sessions, I’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise and attention they need. ⸻ What You Can Expect With me, your pup will get more than just care—they’ll get companionship, structure, and plenty of love. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your furry best friend is doing. I’d love the chance to meet your dog and give them the same care and attention I give Fiona. ❤️

House Sitting • Oct 19, 2025

Honestly couldn’t have had a better experience! Chris is definitely my go to sitter forever! Sent great pics. Was super communicative and my a-hole dog loves him. Never had a sitter that did this well with our dogs! Prompt punctual and a lovely person! Thank you Chris!

Dog Walking • Sep 08, 2020

Chris is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! Chris took the time to have a meet and greet with my dogs so he could get to know them before walking them! What an excellent way to ensure he was familiar with my dogs and their personalities! He treated my dogs like they were his own!!! Chris spent time getting to know them and LOVED walking them. I have on large lab mix and a smaller pit bull mix. Chris was caring, attentive, and kept my dogs safe on their walks! They were happy to walk with him! If you are looking for someone who has a love of animals and truly enjoys spending time with dogs, Chris is the one! He also helped my newly adopted dog, walk better on leash! Thank you Chris!!!!

Christopher has been a great friend to our dogs over the past few years. He brings enthusiasm every time he gets to see them and is very good at tiring them out. Those tails wag like crazy every time he walks in the door! Christopher is a highly motivated, trustworthy individual who is like part of the family. I highly recommend him as a walker or sitter!

I have a very temperamental Beagle. He is 7 years old but still has a lot of energy but has trust isses. We have left him in Chris' care on several occasions and have nothing but great things to say. Chris is very attentive and my dog loves playing tug of war and taking long walks with Chris. Highly recommend using him for your pet sitting needs.
