Safety, trust & environment

My priority is making sure that your 4-legged fur baby is as comfortable and happy as possible. Often, pets can struggle with a little anxiety when their family is not there. I strive to meet all of their need and reduce their stress. We will play, go for walks, and snuggle. If they like car rides, we will visit parks for walks!

Information Chris E. would like to know about your pet

Would love to know if your dog can have treats, typical schedule, sleeping arrangements, and food/ medicine schedule. Also, if you are working with your dog on any commands or training topics, that would be helpful to know and assist with as well.

A typical day

Lots of snuggles! For sure! Happy to go on walks, play ball, or whatever your pet needs to be happy and comfortable! I love walking pups around Shaw Park! If your pup likes the car, they can go everywhere with me!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Chris! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I had taken a few years off to help a family member and I’m so happy to be back! I previously owned and operated my own dog boarding business and have also trained, shown, and bred English Mastiffs, so I’m very comfortable caring for large breeds as well as smaller dogs. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I truly can’t remember a time when I didn’t have one in my home! I work from home, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and plenty of one-on-one attention for the dogs in my care. Your pup won’t be left alone for long periods and will get lots of love, interaction, and personalized care. I currently share my home with my two rescue dogs, Chief and Pedro. They are a big part of our family. In our house, pets are treated like family members, and I will care for your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. When your dog stays with me, you can expect: 🐾 Lots of attention and affection 🐾 A calm, safe, home environment 🐾 Experience with large breeds and different temperaments 🐾 Regular updates, photos, and messages while you’re away 🐾 Plenty of snuggles (always free of charge!) I always encourage pet parents to share details about their dog’s routine, personality, and special needs so I can make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Please feel free to ask any questions—I’m happy to help! I look forward to meeting you and welcoming your four-legged family member into our home. 🐶

Chris did a great job taking care of my dog, Gus! He’s a big goofy 125 lb almost two year old Great Dane. She was happy to come on a walk with us during our meet and greet to see how I do things which I thought was really cool. Chris kept up with Gus’s daily walking routine while I was gone. Walking a young giant breed dog through a neighborhood with a thriving wild bunny population every day can be challenging, but she handled it! Chris also happily helped out with my lower maintenance critters while I was gone as well. Took good care of my home, checked in often and sent lots of pics while I was away. I would hire Chris again.

Chris did a great job with our high energy dog, Roody! Chris came early to stay with Roody overnight and followed all our instructions perfectly. She kept us updated and sent photos. We would definitely book her again :-)

We were very pleased with Chris. She took good care of our dogs, sent lots of pictures/updates, and left our house as clean as we left it. We would definitely hire her again.
