Pet care experience

Reliable, Caring, & Ready to Play!

I am a private chef in the Hamptons, but I sit dogs consistently- especially during the culinary off-season. Out of my entire clientele, the dogs tend to be my favorite! I enjoy energetic dogs, puppies, etc. but am willing to take care of older, docile dogs too. When doing a sit I stay in touch with the client as much as desired, and text tons of photos & videos of their happy pups. I own two dogs, Nellie and Charlie, who are both very energetic, love to play-fight, and run. They are perfect to play with, and help a dog who needs to learn how to socialize. We play on the beach several times a week for a nice workout. (If you would prefer not socializing my family members can stay with them during our booking.) *Nellie: 10 year old, Chocolate Lab/German Pointer mix. Nellie can be a little stand-offish or avoid a dog, but can easily warm up with a little time Charlie: 9 year old Mini Schnauzer/Terrier Mix. Charlie loves about all dogs and humans, and doesn’t need any time to be ready to have fun My whole day can work for a dog's care. As a freelancer I am very flexible; of course the earlier we book the better to secure my availability. Pets in my home are a case by case basis. Although I offer daycare, I have two dogs and a small home. It would depend how our dogs get along. At a clients home, I use the info/instructions given to me by their owner and provide the best care possible.

Chris was great with Nori. He had a great little dog that he brought as a playmate making it extra fun for Nori who is less than a year old. Chris was professional and a great communicator. He was super accommodating of our schedule which ultimately ended up changing and that’s why we are stopping working together. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris.

Chris was amazing with two dogs....one 3 month old and the other 1.5 years old. He kept them busy and out of trouble - no easy feat. In addition, Chris was very responsive and professional throughout. Highly recommend him.

I do not have breed preferences. All I need to know is required activity level, and if they like my dogs. I can work around anything else.
