The Cadillac of pet care
Pet care experience
As a full-time pet care provider and former teacher, I have the flexibility to meet you and your pet's needs while giving you peace of mind that you're hiring someone you can trust. Having spent a couple decades as a Wildland Firefighter, Environmental Educator and Wilderness Therapy Guide, I've enjoyed working outdoors and getting students active and into nature as much as possible, whether it be in a National Park or on a simple walking trail. I believe those same goals are just as important for pets, as they're able. I have experience with pet care on a personal and professional level and enjoy the energy and qualities of different breeds of dogs as well as different animals. I feel that sharing energy with animals not only benefits them, but is great for their humans and caretakers as well Although I can be flexible, walking or even sitting multiple client's pets at once, based on client comfort level, I encourage folks to contact me as early as possible, especially when booking overnight sits. I have had pet parents plan trips around my availability, which I am open to and works well also.
Reviews
Chris did a great job watching my 2 Great Pyrenees. He was very attentive with Tom as he experienced eating difficulties while I was away for a few days, and was very flexible in providing extra care. Detailed updates and frequent communication as Tom started to feel sick kept my mind at ease until I made it back.
Chris was wonderful with my pug Teddy. He was very in tuned to Teddy’s needs he took very good care of him and I was very happy. He gave me peace of mind, taking care of my dog while I was recovering from surgery.
Chris was great with our animals. Everyone was calm and happy during his stay and upon our arrival back home.
We couldn’t have asked for anything better! Very attentive and great communication. Our dog was happy and well cared for.
About Chris B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in the comfort of their own home when sitting, unless a combined sit is requested and planned by all involved and where all pets are comfortable at one or the other's home
Information Chris B. would like to know about your pet
Age, activity level, diet, allergies, likes/dislikes, temperament, socialization level, etc. I don't have a preference regarding breed and am open to working with most any pets.
A typical day
A typical day will include walks/hikes, games, challenges, loving attention, meeting up with other dogs (as requested), plenty of hydration...and rest! Although I have lived in several other states over the years, as a native Cape Codder I enjoy taking dogs to a variety of popular and lesser known locations to exercise and socialize, from beaches and parks to official and unofficial trail systems.
