Pet care experience

musical dog-whispering farmer!

I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I grew up in a very dog-positive neighborhood where all breeds and personalities were represented. Dog-speak, both verbal and non-verbal, is practically my second language! I am adept at anticipating the pups' needs and addressing most issues before they have a chance to manifest. I understand the subtle ways in which dogs communicate with each other and attempt to communicate with us. All pups have different needs, and I do my best to provide for each furry friend in a manner that makes them feel right at home. I am a quick walk away from expansive state land and if your pup fancies a run-about, a field trip will be on the itinerary. I myself have a two year old Pit mix named Peanut. She is lanky, goofy, and spirited as can be. If you've got a wild runner for a dog, Peanut will become a fast friend.

Chris is knowledgeable about how dogs communicate and helped to maintain our training with Diego. Upon pick up, I could tell Diego was treated well and had a great time! I will book with Chris and Peanut again!

Could immediately tell he knew how to read dog body language and manage fearful/shy dogs. 10/10

Chris was awesome; he took care of our pup and got her the exercise she needed! Will definitely use again in the future.

No breed preferences. I'd like to know the temperament of each dog before their stay. How do they interact with other dogs, humans, inanimate household objects! Chewers, quarrelers, shy-guys, jumpers, and thieves are all welcome. I'd just like to know of these tendencies ahead of timel
