Pet care experience

Both my childhood home and my house now have 5 animals, dogs and cats! I have lived with a plethora of different animals each with unique personalities and behaviors. Currently, we have two rescues, Bruno (a lab mix) and Buster (a shepherd mix) and three rescue cats (Mike, Ike, and Simba). I have experience overnight sitting in the pet owners home. I have also spent time bringing stray kittens into our home and domesticating them. I am patient, I love animals, and I am ready to help to make sure that your pet being taken care of is a peaceful thought, not a stressful one!

Chris did an amazing job with our dogs and I would highly recommend him for any of your pet sitting needs! We had Chris stay with our 2 large dogs and snake for a week. While house sitting, he also administered meds to our older dog, took great care of our house, sent pictures and updates, and most importantly tired the doggos out everyday. When we had a meet and greet before our trip, our dogs were in love with him! This really helped put our mind at ease and we felt so comfortable with him looking after our pets and house. Chris did such a great job and I cannot say enough nice things about him!

Safety, trust & environment

When I am at your home I am totally focused on your pet. As someone with 5 animals at home, and someone who has also raised and domesticated stray kittens, I know the responsibility that it takes to love an animal. We take our dogs swimming and walking often, so I can be counted on to provide the same to your fur baby.

Information Chris K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special behaviors or needs. Is your dog crate trained? Do they need any medication? Do they prefer to sleep in the bed? Do they like to pull on a leash? Anything you can think of, please let me know!

A typical day

I love to go on daily walks. Tug of war is my game! And I would love to take your dog swimming! We take ours down to the river and let them wade in the water!
