Information Chris D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any preferences your dog has so that I can accommodate them during their vacation with me. Or any behaviors I should be aware of.

A typical day

I have a high-energy dog, so we start most mornings with a walk or a park so they can run off some energy. We then follow up with outside time for most of the day. In the evening, we will try for a long walk or to the park, depending on the day.

Home Away From Home: Premium Care

Pet care experience

I have had pets of all ages, and we treat all of our new visitors like family. We'd love to work with you and your pet! I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages (including puppies), and while fostering rescued/stray dogs, I helped them find loving homes. We'll run around, play, and go for walks—and we can even go to a dog park if your dog is into that sort of thing! I want to know all about your dog's needs, habits, restrictions, etc. to ensure your dog has a fantastic time here and receives the absolute best care possible. We can't wait to meet new friends!

Chris took excellent care of my dog, Circe. He was very attentive and patient, and I could tell that she was happy and comfortable during her stay. He regularly took the dogs out to a large park, which Circe really enjoyed and benefited from a lot. Circe got along very well with Chris’s two dogs, and it was clear that they interacted in a calm and positive way. Chris also sent frequent photo updates, which made me feel very reassured while I was away. It was obvious that he truly cares about the dogs he looks after. I felt completely comfortable leaving Circe with him and would absolutely book with Chris again. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

This was my baby’s 2nd time staying with Chris and she absolutely loves it. He sends plenty of photos with updates and she always looks so happy. I love that it’s like a vacation for her when I’m out of town !
