Information Chris K. would like to know about your pet

Health history: It's important to know your dog's health history, including any allergies, chronic health conditions, medications they are taking, and any recent or ongoing medical treatments. Behavioral history: Understanding your dog's behavior and temperament is crucial to ensure their safety and well-being. Knowing if they have any fear or aggression towards other dogs, people, or specific situations can help me avoid potential problems. Diet: Knowing your dog's dietary requirements, including any food allergies or restrictions, can help ensure that they are getting the proper nutrition and prevent any health issues. Exercise needs: Understanding your dog's exercise needs, including their energy level and preferred activities, can help me provide the appropriate amount and type of exercise. Training: Knowing your dog's training history and any commands or behaviors they know can help me reinforce good behaviors and avoid any bad habits. Owner's contact information: Having the owner's contact information on hand is essential in case of an emergency or any questions or concerns that may arise.

A typical day

Dogs love to play, whether it's with toys or with other dogs. Incorporating playtime into their daily routine is a great way to keep them active and mentally stimulated. Heather farms park is a great place to go for a walk, the open space by Mt Diablo is great as well.

Chris and Eugenia were absolutely wonderful. They made our goldendoodle, Capri, feel so comfortable and truly at home while we were away. They have a wonderful yard for her to run and play, which she absolutely loved. We also really appreciated how responsive Chris was and how easy it was to communicate with them throughout the entire stay. They were attentive, caring, and went above and beyond by sending us photos and regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Capri was happy and so well taken care of the entire time. We will definitely be using them again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving and reliable dog sitter!

Jake very much enjoyed his time with Chris. Jake was nervous at first, but Chris calmed him down within a few minutes. When I met Chris for a meet-and-greet with Jake, I knew he would be a competent caregiver for Jake and he didn't disappoint me.
