Big heart for cold noses

Pet care experience

I’ve owned multiple dogs throughout my life. I have also dog and house sat for many friends and family. Currently I have one dog and two cats. I have past experience working with a police canine officer and his canine. I wish to one day own a dog sanctuary and try end kill shelters.

Chris walked Sammy daily for 3 months. He was always on time and Sammy loved him. He is considerate and kind and communicative and would frequently do little extra’s. He has a great attitude. I highly recommend Chris and will absolutely use him in the future should the need arise.

Thank you, Chris! Chris was professional, on time, friendly and even took the chuck-it out for my babies as requested! My dogs were definitely tired when they came back from their play/walk and we will definitely be calling him again!

Safety, trust & environment

Trust is the biggest factor when building a relationship with any dog. I try to create the most calm and relaxed environment making it easier for them to warm up to me. I take cues from the dogs to ensure we have a strong bond. By doing this I have never met a dog who I can’t bond with.

Information Chris D. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know how your dog responds to other dogs and animals, people(especially) children and what their temperament is. Knowing the dogs limits in so far as how much I can walk them and how fast a pace they can handle is important so I do not place the dog under too much stress.

A typical day

I typically like to walk at the dogs pace if I can keep up with them. If they like to play fetch I can do it for hours. If we are close enough to a dog park and the owner is ok with it I would love to take them there.
