25 Years of Professional Pet Care
Pet care experience
I’m no dog whisperer, but I've been doing basic pet care for twenty-five years. So if you’re looking for someone to administer fluids and send a dozen pictures a day, another pet sitter would probably be a better match. But if you’re looking for someone you can one-hundred percent count on for regular feeding, playing, and walking (and occasional photos), then I’m your someone. Rest assured, I can also deal with the unexpected. I've handled burst water pipes, excessive vomiting, trips to the vet and more. My natural temperament—calm yet clear—puts animals at ease. They also don’t complain that I usually spend large chunks of the day reading on the couch, open to cuddles. También hablo español. Pregúntame por descuentos para los que viven en South Park.
Reviews
Chris is very conscientious and does an excellent job with the animals. She also asks questions if she’s not clear and is very thoughtful and responsible. She is our favorite sitter and we will hire her again.!
Chris took fantastic care of our dogs! We received regular updates/photos and Chris was great at communicating any questions or issues. One of our dogs is fearful of new people but Chris had a gentle approach that helped him warm up quickly. It was wonderful to come home to a clean house and happy, well exercised dogs.
Chris was easy to work with, communicative, and patient with my excitable border collie/ aussie mix. Tilley can be a handful, especially with new people, and Chris was completely unflustered.
If you’re looking for a responsible, honest, hard working pet sitter then Chris is the perfect choice. We will definitely be reaching out to Chris in the future. We received daily updates, and came home to a tidy house and happy pets. 5 stars for sure!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Caring for Pets in Your Home: I'm usually home weekdays until I leave for work in the afternoon. And I often, though not always, spend much of the weekend at home. Languages: Hablo español. I'm also conversant in tactile and visual ASL.
Information Chris H. would like to know about your pet
Since I go to work in the afternoon, should I feed dinner before I leave, when I return, or a combination—or will you have someone else come by for evening feeding and/or walking?
A typical day
My typical days are straightforward: We go for walks and we play; in between, we likely cuddle. (Assuming, of course, that your pet wants/needs all these things). On weekdays, this will mostly be in the morning and early afternoon, before I leave for work.

Availability
Schedule: I’m usually (though not always) home most of the weekend. Weekdays, I work part-time (usually gone 6 or 7 hours total). I can feed dinner in the afternoon before I leave or when I get home (between 9 and 10pm)—or I can feed half of dinner before and half after.
