I currently care for pets fulltime, both my own & my clients (lol). I have the flexibility & patience to dedicate long hours to my fur clients. I serve at least 3 furry clients a day. Most of my clients are big & very active dogs, so we love going for long walks, with lots of sniffs & stimulation! I love to play ball with my fur-clients! I make sure each of their needs are tended to, while having fun! I also make sure to send plenty of pics to their dog parents!

Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure to meet the pet before starting the assignment. As a certified pet sitter and walker, I have developed a checklist to go over with my clients. This checklist allows me to have all the information needed before I start pet sitting or walking a client's pet. I make sure to follow the EXACT instructions from each pet parent! This includes meals, schedule, and goals for the day! I make sure each of my fur clients enjoy their walks , and we complete their designated schedules & goals for the day! I always make sure my clients are on their designated leash, and I carry lots of water & a travel bowl when taking walks! I will also make sure my clients homes are tidy & secure before leaving. I also will send pictures and updates got mom & dad :)

Information Chris E. would like to know about your pet

I do try to meet each client before I begin a job. I do have a checklist that gives me all the information needed to make sure your pet is safe & well taken care of. I will make sure I know about your pet's needs, including feeding schedule, location of leashes/food/treats/ toys, any medication administration directions, and daily routine. Let me know if your fur baby has any accommodations. Please let me know , if your pet requires special food or medications! Also, let me know what your pet likes, so I can make sure they are happy & comfortable while in my care! am use to working with all different type of furry clients, from Yorkies to German Shepards. I am comfortable with all breeds, however, I have the most experience working with big breeds. I have a lot of patience. I have the flexibility in my schedule to accommodate long walks, different outdoor activities, & long days, even over nights! i also offer same-day emergency services for any pet parent 27/4 , there is an additional charge. I am always here to make sure your best friend is taken care of :)

A typical day

I love to make sure my fur clients are stimulated both physically & mentally! I have a lot of bigger fur clients that love to run and play ball! If requested, I can take my fur clients to get a pup treat & take a walk on a trail. One of my clients loves to take a toy when we walk and stop for lots of sniffs, that’s okay with me! I will always make time to snuggle and play with your pup! I also will find an alternative stimulating activity for a pup, if the weather is too hot or too cold.

Pet care experience

Let me put your mind at ease while your away! I am a safe & responsible pet dad myself, who will treat your pet, like my own! I have worked with all kinds of breeds, from Yorkies to German Shepherds! I have the most experience working with breeds that need a lot of stimulation & eowning a large breed American bulldog. I also volunteered with Animal Rescue League walking dogs with little to no training. Also able to care for elderly or dogs with limited mobility. Patience to deal with shy or nervous dogs. Worked with a professional overnight dog sitting business where I care for dogs with special needs. I've also taken care of puppies as young as 12 weeks. I Like to make every visit count. I will challenge your dog mentally and physically whenever possible. I will also observe the dogs diet and overall well being. Promptly alert owners of any important updates and emergencies. I will treat your dog with love and respect as I would care for mine. Looking forward to meeting new friends.

Chris was amazing!! He took amazing care of my boys and I'm incredibly grateful to have found him, especially when I needed someone so last minute over the holidays. Left my home better than he found it every day!
