Adventure Hikes & Expert Dog Care

Dogs have been my world for 15 years. I've worked in daycares, training facilities, grooming, shelters, and now I focus on providing reliable walks and personalized care. I offer neighborhood walks during the week, and on weekends I also offer 90 to 120 minute off-leash adventure hikes for the weekend warrior dogs that love to explore and need to burn off some energy! Every visit includes photos, updates, gps and plenty of attention!

Safety, trust & environment

I primarily provide care through structured outdoor hikes rather than in-home services. When working in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a calm, controlled environment.

This is the first time my wife and I had to use a dog sitter. Throughout our 11 years of having dogs we were always able to leave our dogs with family. So, needless to say, we were a little nervous about leaving them with a sitter. We're very happy we chose Chris. Our two dogs had a great time with Chris and all his furry friends. Chris watched our dogs for 9 days and everyday they were there he sent several groups of pictures throughout the day. Which was very comforting. In each and every picture our dogs were running around the yard and playing with Chris's dog and the other dogs he watched during their stay. We were very pleased with our experience and would use Chris to watch our dogs anytime.

Chris was an absolutely wonderful host for Zappa. She had a great time, was clearly very well taken care of, and we tremendously enjoyed all the pictures of our pup playing, napping and hanging out with other dogs. I can sincerely recommend Chris to everyone looking for an experienced and devoted dog sitter, and I would love to use his services in the future.

Scotch had a great stay at Chris' place. The property is all fenced in and Chris had put up a baby pool ready for our water loving spaniel to dive in! Chris kept us updated with many pictures and messages and we felt fully reassured that Scotch was in great care. We have Scotch back home now for a few hours and he is relaxed, calm and happy as always. Thanks Chris for your great care!!

Let me first start by saying, like most dog owners, my dog is like my own child. This was the first time we've ever had to worry about boarding our dogs because they usually stay with a family member. In any case, we looked at a few kennels around our area but I was not crazy about my dog being one out of 50/60 dogs. I decided to search out on Rover.com and Chris' profile came up. I was very skeptical leaving my dog with a complete stranger but I read a few reviews and scheduled an interview. You could tell immediately, the compassion Chris has for dogs. He has a fenced in yard and the dogs are constantly on his watch. He even let us come down again so my mother could meet him to ease her own worries with her dog too. His dog Charlie is a HUGE teddy bear. Big dog....but very sweet. I immediately felt comfortable. While we were away, we received almost 9 pictures a day of the dogs sleeping, fetching, playing, running, sniffing, exploring...the list goes on. Chris was always in touch and absolutely terrific taking snap shots of the dogs. When we picked them up a little while ago, they looked great and we could instantly tell they were well taken care of. Again, this was very abnormal for me to leave my dog with a complete stranger, but there are some great people out there. Don't pay to keep your dog locked in a kennel when they can have this individual attention. Chris was terrific to watch our dogs and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone...I'll surely be using him again in the near future. Thanks Chris!

Before any hike, I like to know if your dog has off-leash experience, how they are with other dogs, and their recall ability. It’s also important to know any behavioral quirks, triggers, medical needs, or anything that helps me keep them safe and comfortable.
