Professional and Reliable

Pet care experience

I have long cared for dogs and cats of all ages. I am currently working as a dog trainer for basic obedience training as well as behavior modification. As a current owner of a dog and two cats, I have always had animals in my life. I have left an office job to pursue a career revolving around pets and dogs, because they are my passion. So I am bringing you a level of professionalism that you would expect, and a love for each and every furry creature I meet. If your dog requires A LOT of exercise, I can help! I love to take the high-energy guys on a hike and return them home ready for a nap. Also an A+ fetch partner with a ball or frisbee. I currently am able to revolve my entire weekly schedule around my clients and their needs. I am not able to offer services in my home. However, I am able to provide any service in your home, yard, around the block, a dog friendly park, etc. I have car in which I can transport pets to and fro. Even with muddy paws :-).

5 stars. Chris went above and beyond expectations in taking care of our dog. He gave her lots of attention and even hand fed her when she wasn't eating very much. Highly recommend!

Chris was great! He was great at communicating with me and the dogs loved him! I would highly recommend Chris! My dogs are also reactive on leash and I felt so much more comfortable trusting him with them since he has obedience training! I will be using Chris again for my puppies!!!!

Chris has been such a great help! He is very reliable, professional, and responsive and our dog loves him. His background as a dog trainer is very helpful in reinforcing the training we’re trying to implement with our dog, and he’s given us great advice. He’s helped our dog get more comfortable walking, and we’re very grateful.

Chris is great! He gives both of our pups individual attention, and is flexible and responsive. We’re really glad we can rely on him to check in while we’re away from home. Highly recommend him!

Information Chris D. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

I love to help a working dog find work. If I can simulate the work your dog was bred to do (agility, herding, hunting, retrieval, long-distance hikes) I want to help! I think it is the most cathartic thing for a dog to go out and do their work, get some energy out, and get praised for it.
