Everybody wishes my dog was theirs

Pet care experience

I've lived with giant breed dogs my entire life. My parents have had multiple dogs since before I was born, and once I was out of college I adopted my own dog, a Flat Coated Retriever/Border Collie mix named Blue. I started helping to care for the dogs when I was around five or so, and I would consider myself very experienced with dogs. To date, I've lived with: -Two German Shepherd mixes (60 lbs) -One Newfoundland/Black Lab mix (100 lbs) -One AKC certified Cream Lab (120 bs, just abnormally tall) -One German Shepherd/English Mastiff mix (150 lbs) -Two Lab Mixes (90 lbs) -One Flat Coated retriever/Border Collie mix (76 lbs) So as you can see, I'm not only experienced with many different dogs, but also primarily with large breeds. While I do prefer large breeds, I am not breedist, and will be more than happy to work with smaller dogs. I graduated from the University of California last year with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. While obtaining my degree, I worked part time on campus, and was quickly promoted to manager. I've had five different jobs in the past five years, and at each one I've received commendations from my superiors. I am punctual and hard working; I pride myself in work well done. I'm hoping to combine my work ethic with my love for dogs to help you care for yours.

Chris helped watch over our dog even though the timing wasn't the best because of extenuating circumstances. He gave him plenty of attention and sent pics as well.

Information Chris K. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know as much as you can tell me! But I need to know how they are around other dogs, so I can know if I can bring my dog Blue along for walks or if he needs to stay home. I also need to know of any medical or psychological conditions; I don't want to learn that your dog is terrified of cats by coming across a stray on a walk.

A typical day

Since moving to Seattle, I've been hiking as much as possible. If I can't make it out to any of the trails at cougar mountain or the I-90 corridor, I'll spend my time walking through any of the multiple parks around Seattle, such as Shmitz or Discovery.
