Pet care experience

FYI - for previous clients who have booked with me in Albany, as of mid-October 2022 I have moved to Oakland! My family has had dogs for my entire childhood. I became the go-to neighborhood pet- and house-sitter starting around age 10! Now as an adult in my 30s, I don't have enough schedule flexibility to have a dog full-time, but I'm very excited to provide short-term care to some pooches! My availability will reflect when I'm available for regular or extended weekend stays. I look forward to meeting you and your dog and providing them an attentive and loving stay while you're away. I live in a single-family home with a fenced in backyard and in a neighborhood with great streets for walks. If they're up for it, I'd be happy to take your dog on a hike in one of the nearby regional parks. I'm a very responsible and organized young professional - I currently work as a water resources planner in the environmental engineering industry, and my passion and care for the environment extends to dog care as well.

Chris is great with our 60 lb working dog. He’s flexible, reliable, and trustworthy. Would definitely recommend!

We love Chris! He is so great with Boba and she always has fun and gets plenty of attention and exercise with him. Chris takes her on several hikes every time she’s with him. Thanks Chris!
