Fun time all the time with active dogs; caring and gentle with elder/special dogs. My work schedule varies but my wife can fill in when necessary.

Information Chris H. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

We can go on walks, go to dog parks or the beach, play with just my two dogs. Can do lots of catch/fetch, or just hang out. It's all owner preference. I'm here to be of service. My dogs like to play, they'll definitely prefer higher energy dogs. I can always keep them home, or keep their presence limited if a dog is aggressive, nervous or doesn't like lots of play/running. I am also pretty good at giving baths - if needed

Pet care experience

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.
