7yrs Experience at a Vet Hospital!

Pet care experience

Hello, everyone! My name is Christopher Johnston and I am 31 years old. I recently moved to Venice and I'm excitedly to start dog sitting! I have seven years of experience at a veterinary hospital which has given me the skills to recognize minor medical issues with dogs, when they are being moody vs wanting to play, and most importantly that no two dogs are the same and they each need to be treated in special ways! I have experience handling dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes!! I fell in love with Rover when I would visit my friends house and he would always have different dogs staying over. I can't wait to meet all of the cute pups in LA!

It's been hard to find a consistent Rover and Chris has become our primary sitter. He's consistently dependable, always communicative, and regularly sends updates of Sawyer.

Chris was so great! He was very easy to communicate with and my dogs seemed to really like him and have a wonderful time! He sent pics and updates every day and my dogs always looked so happy!

What a great experience with Chris! I last-minute contacted Chris at 8 am for an 830 am walk and he was here on time. Butters is anxious around new walkers but he was very comfortable with Chris. A reliable/trustworthy dog walker is always a plus and I’ll continue using Chris for my dog's needs.

Information Chris J. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of any irregular behaviors your dog may have. I do not want to raise any red flags to you, only to realize it is the dog's normal behavior.

A typical day

We will go on walks all over Venice!! I will play ball with them at the house, but I do not feel comfortable walking a stranger's dog off leash in order to play with them.
