Highlights
Pet care experience
No pet is too big or small!
I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and animals have always had a special place in my heart. I have a gift for connecting with pets I'm meeting for the first time — even the shy or standoffish ones tend to warm up to me quickly. I raised my own dog for 13 years, guiding him through anxiety issues from puppyhood all the way into adulthood, so I understand firsthand how much patience and consistency can matter. I know how important feeding schedules and medication routines are, and I make sure they're followed carefully and on time, every time. Through pet sitting apps, I've cared for a wide variety of dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs — nothing has been too much to handle. I lead with patience, adaptability, and a genuine love for animals. A quick note on availability: between my work schedule and time with my daughter, I'm away from home between 9am and 6pm daily. I'm a great fit for pets who are comfortable being on their own during that window, and I'll make sure they're well cared for and comfortable before and after. I'm also proud to be LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome clients from all walks of life. Building trust is everything to me — I want you to feel confident that your pet (and your home, if I'm house sitting) is in caring, capable hands.

Safety, trust & environment
I used to care for 2 dogs and a cat while i was with my wife but now i just have the cat. The cat is very much self sufficient, although she does revel in all the pets that we have to offer, but the dogs take more work! I love to take dogs on walks in the various parks around where i am living and will do the same for yours! If you have favorite spot let me know about it!! I can incorporate a walk there for your pups if you would like!
Ratings and reviews
Chris is great! I’ve used him multiple times to watch my dog and never worry when I leave him with Chris.
We had Chris house sit and watch our dogs for the first time, and we could not have been happier with the experience! From our initial meet and greet through the very last day, Chris was incredibly professional, kind, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Most importantly, it was clear how loving and caring he was with our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was a fantastic communicator and sent us photos and a daily update, so we always knew how the pups were doing. We also ended up needing some last-minute flexibility toward the end of our trip, and Chris was so accommodating and easygoing about it, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy, well cared for dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. We’re so pleased to have found Chris and will absolutely be using him as our go to dog sitter from now on. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable, communicative, professional, and genuinely caring with their pets!
Chris did a wonderful job watching over our dog and two kitties while we were away. He sent great updates, pictures, and kept us informed of everything that was going on. Would definitely recommend him!
Chris did a great job sitting for us! Even with a few hiccups, he was very honest with us and great with his communication! Our dogs warmed to him quickly! We would have him back!
Chris was a great sitter for my dog. He was very thorough in understanding my pets needs and a breeze to communicate with. He clearly loves animals and wants to ensure they’re happy and safe while in his care.
This is the second time we have had Chris stay with our two dogs while out of town and both times we have had great experiences. The dogs love him and are always happy and healthy when we get home. We got regular updates and I feel he went above and beyond in many ways. I would absolutely use him again! Thanks, Chris! The girls miss you!
