Call Me Pet Crazy!
Pet care experience
Love dogs and cats! I have always had a dog or a cat, sometimes more than one. My very first dog was Trixie and my grandpa accidentally left our gate open and we lost her. I think I’ve been trying to find her replacement my whole life! Right now I have a 9y/o high energy lab mix named Hercules and he loves to play but he’s reactive on a leash to other dogs in our building (he thinks he’s a sheriff) so he won’t be coming with us on walks. I'll treat your dog or cat like they are my own. If you tell me their little quirks and what they like or don’t like, I’ll be sure to pay attention to that.
Reviews
Chris was very flexible and reliable and really cared for our little guy. Communication was great.
Chris was excellent as a drop in sitter, was great at communicating and sent us great photos of Jellybean during the visit! We would definitely book Chris again!
Chris was easy to coordinate with and provided us with updates and great care of Tusker! Hercules provided a great playmate for Tusker and Chris was clear she would never leave the two of them together unsupervised, which puts any dog owner at ease.
If you wish to ensure that your dog is safe and protected-do not sit with Chris L.! My dog was injured by a deep gash given by her dog, right next to his eye. Not only did Chris not seek a vet visit on the day it occurred, she downplayed the gash when she told me about it. When my husband picked my dog up, he went straight to the vet. When I asked for reimbursement for the vet costs due to the injury that HER DOG caused, she said my dog likely instigated the injury (a golden retriever-not known to be particularly vicious dogs). When I asked for full reimbursement, Chris said my request was "unethical" and I was asking for a "bribe" because I told her this is what I want to be a satisfied customer-to try to give her a good review. Bad things happen, but the way those things are handled after the fact determines what kind of sitter you really are. Chris was insulting beyond measure, and took little responsibility for her or her dog's actions. Chris is not the right sitter if you want a safe and accountable person to care for your dogs!

I like to walk around the neighborhood and visit the park. I am also always happy to hang out at the dog park. Can play with toys, cuddle, etc on drop-in visits.

Availability
I work from home most of the time and spend a lot of time sitting at my computer. I’m trying to get 10,000 steps a day and my work schedule is flexible enough to take breaks for drop-ins to visit your cat or dog or walking your pup.
