Pet care experience

Keeping Good Dogs Company.

Hi, I’m Chris! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve spent 30+ years caring for pets for friends and family and I volunteer at a local shelter as a dog walker. I work from home and now have the flexibility to spend more time doing what I love: keeping good dogs (and cats) company. Your dog will get plenty of attention, care, and a walk they’ll look forward to.

Christopher was terrific with Niilo! He took him on many walks, and even took him to watch some soccer at a local park on. We will be booking with him again!

Chris is an outstanding pet sitter. He provides lots of love to pets but also routine for them while at his home. He has watched our dog many times and our dog loves to go to doggy camp at his home. Chris provides us updates and can handle all types of animal personalities. Would highly recommend him for your pet’s care!!!

Chris has watched our dogs Cocoa and Daisy for years. Whether it is only checking on them during days we are gone too long or when out of town, we have always been able to rely on him. He walks them, spends extra time so that they are not stuck indoors and sends updates/pictures. We really appreciate all of his help over the years. Always reliable and we trust our dogs are being cared for when we are away. Thanks Chris!!!

When I tell you I've never met another human that loves dogs and cats more than Chris ~ I mean it! We've had Chris take care of our cat, Tanner, on numerous occasions. I wouldn't hesitate for one second to have Chris watch my pets. Unconditional love and a ridiculous amount of attention will be showered on them. He's the Best!

Schedule

With a work-from-home schedule, I’m able to offer flexible, attentive care for your pup. We regularly walk around Loose Park and the Plaza and would love to include your dog. When visiting your home, I make sure each walk is tailored to your neighborhood and your dog’s routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, structured, and attentive environment tailored to each dog’s needs. I take the time to understand your pet’s routine—feeding, exercise, and any specific preferences—so they feel comfortable and cared for from the start. In your home, I’m respectful and detail-oriented, ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are handled carefully at all times. Walks are attentive and controlled, with a focus on safety, awareness, and your dog’s comfort level. With my background in shelter volunteering, I’m experienced with a range of temperaments and prioritize calm, positive interactions. I also provide regular updates, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands while you’re away.
