I’ve known Chris as a friend for a while, and he helped take care of my Samoyed, Polar, during past summer breaks. Leaving your dog with someone else can honestly be stressful, especially with a bigger and more energetic breed, but I always felt completely comfortable leaving Polar with him. He genuinely has a big heart when it comes to animals, and you can tell he actually enjoys spending time with them instead of treating it like a chore. He was always diligent about taking Polar on walks, making sure he got enough exercise, and even helping groom him and keep him clean. Polar was always excited to see him, which says a lot on its own. I’d definitely trust him to care for other people’s pets as well, and I think he’d make a great dog walker.
