Pet care experience

Descriptive and Genuine Headline

My wife Kim and I have been caring for dogs together for over a decade. She grew up with dogs and, while I have always loved animals myself, it took meeting her for me to take the plunge and adopt. She and I adopt senior dogs and love giving them comfort and care in their twilight years. We recently said goodbye to our best boy Kodi so it’s always nice to have other pups stay over and fill that hole for a while. Over the years we have boarded many dogs and we even fostered a pair of cats for three months as well. I have experience administering medication.

Zelda has stayed with Chris a couple of times now, and we have always come home to a happy, well cared for pup. They’re communicative, flexible, and kind. We highly recommend, and we will definitely be asking them to watch our little lady again.

Great experience boarding our dog with Chris over the weekend. Our dog had a bit of a random upset tummy but Chris was so nice about it and handled the situation so well. We felt relaxed and peaceful knowing he’s in good hands. Thank you Chris! 😁

Chris was, as always, wonderful with our dog Gemma. I particularly appreciated him suggesting a fellow Dogsitter for dates he was already booked. They both did a spectacular job together, and I look forward to working with them in the future again! Thank you, Chris!

Chris watched our large, older dog for a few days. We could tell from pics and videos that our dog was happy and relaxed there! He had a lot of fun and got to play with some other dogs that were staying. Chris was very responsive and professional in all our communication and easy to arrange meet and greet and drop off/ pick up.

Schedule

I don't work early mornings or late nights, so I have plenty of time for breakfast, walks, belly rubs, etc. My wife is also around to help and our schedules are slightly off set so at least one of us can be home much of the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your pets as if they were my own. I always want my pets and our house guests to feel safe and welcome. In my home all are welcome to cozy up on the couch and our bed, both replete with pillows. We keep the space relatively clean and keep anything potentially hazardous out of reach.

Pets

A typical day

I am a very active person and can handle energetic dogs, fast walkers, etc. That said I’m also down to just chill on the couch and snuggle up with your pup! We like to open our home to multiple dogs and it’s always fun to see them get a chance to socialize and play with their new friends (or a familiar one!). I’m open to helping with dogs that are anti-social as well. Just reach out and let me know your needs and we can try to make it work!

If your dog has any other special needs or quirks, I’m willing to accommodate most of them! The trade off is that I get to rewatch The OC with no judgement. From your dog. You can judge me if you want, but I think you’d like it too if you tried. At least until Season 3, which is widely known to be terrible.
