Pet care experience

Long-time pet owner. 5 cats, 2 dogs

I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories go back to when I was around 2 or 3 years old petting the two cats we had under the dining room table. Later on my family got 4 of the 5 we still have today. I can't imagine life without them. I've had several dogs over the years. Winston, Sticks, and now Scooby & Nevill. My pets are family to me and when I take care of others' pets I treat them with the same respect. I've pet sat off and on for the past few years and I take the well-being of animals very seriously. I have watched over small dogs (pomeranians) and cats. However, I also feel comfortable taking care of larger dogs I have owned and befriended dogs of larger stature/strength in the past. (I had a Black Lab, my sister had a Saint Bernard, and my brother an ~90lb Pit Bull who I was very close with.) Overall the point is that I am very fond of animals and have been taking care of them my whole life. I have a deep love and respect for our furry friends. I am confident in my abilities to provide for their needs.

Chris was awesome. He had to put in some long hours but did so faithfully and without complaint. Our dogs missed Chris when he left every evening and were delighted at his arrival in the morning. Chris made my job easier knowing that he was taking good care of our pets as well as our home. Thank you, Chris!

If you are looking for a responsible person to care for your pet that truly loves animals then I highly recommend Christopher. He has dog/cat sit for me several times. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats. He did an amazing job. He was in continuous contact with me letting me know my animals were ok and were being spoiled thus, allowing me to enjoy my time away without having to worry about my fur babies. I highly recommend Christopher.

I would like to know the temperament of a dog before I sit them. High-energy dogs I can handle, but if they need me to run with them for more than a few minutes, I don't have the stamina for that. Sorry. Obviously I can still throw a ball! I am comfortable injecting insulin if need be. I had a diabetic dog in the past. I just need to be given all the info on how much, and at what time it needs to be given.
