Photo Updates, No 60-Min Upcharges!

Pet care experience

My wife and I are animal lovers to the core, and we dedicate much of our time helping animals in need. Whether it's helping stray animals find a home or simply providing care to animals who need it most. When it comes to caring for dogs, it's important to understand that each dog is different and has specific needs of their own. Patience and affection are the keys to success. My goal is to provide you and your dog with excellent sitting and walking services, through decades of experience and compassion. To show my appreciation for all of the dog owners out there, here are some of the additional perks I offer: Photo Updates: Have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, with photos sent to you throughout our time together. This might include dinner time, nap time, and possibly "tug-o-war with a favorite toy" time. You never know! No 60-Minute Upcharges: While the standard walking or sitting service typically covers 30 minutes, I'm happy to provide 60-minute services upon request, and at no additonal charge. Just book the standard 30 minutes and let me know you want me to spend some extra time with your pup(s)! Comprehensive Checklist: Are you afraid you left out an important detail of our scheduled booking? I will make sure we check everything from food quantities and potty break frequency, to favorite toys and special requests. Rest assured that everything will be covered.

Chris did a great job with my girls, Bunny and Belle. He was attentive to their needs and I could tell they really liked him. He was timely, responsive (even last minute!) and flexible with our meet and greet scheduling. Will definitely use him again. ☺️ Thanks Chris!

Chris dropped in twice on our pup on a Saturday! He sent awesome picture updates and spent some quality time with him. Definitely will be contacting Chris again!

Chris is so many things: an animal lover, a responsible and caring individual, a hard worker, and great friend. I would depend on Chris to take care of my own dog and would know and trust that my pup would have the utmost attention and care under Chris's watch. I've seen Chris go above and beyond, time and time again, in order to successfully complete any job, but especially when it involves caring for someone's most beloved furry member of their family.

I have a dog who loves her uncle Chris! She is always happy to see him. He is a good candidate to care for a pet because he loves animals! He is a father to a cat himself. Your pet will be in good hands with Chris.

My wife and I live in a small townhouse in Grandview Heights. Because our space is limited, house-sitting at the residence of the pet owner is likely a better option.

Information Chris H. would like to know about your pet

I only ask that I'm provided with any information regarding the specific personality and behavior of your pup(s). This includes things your pup does and doesn't like (no butt scratches? no neck rubs?), any signs of aggression, as well as special treatment that may be needed. My goal is to provide an excellent and enjoyable experience for you and your pup!

A typical day

Based on personal experiences with all of the pups I've walked, a stroll through Grandview Heights and the occasional metro park always seem to be an exciting time! Some high-energy pups may enjoy a jog more than a walk, which is also available upon request.
