Hello! There’s a quote I always use that says “dogs are lessons in unconditional love and cats are a lesson in consent.” If an animal is uncomfortable in a new environment or with other people, I will usually let them be, but am available when they’re ready to warm up to me. I’ve successfully trained dogs since I was a kid and adhere to which ever training style a pet’s parent uses. I make sure to check in with dogs frequently to see if they need to potty. And of course, loving on dogs is one of the best gifts we get to have with them.

Chris was great, I'm so happy we found him! Cosmo has a great time and got to go on doggy playdates which he loved. Chris gave me updates everyday through photo or video, and let me know about his behaviors. Definitely plan to have Chris be our go-to Rover!

Chris was an excellent caretaker for my dog Frank. The whole time Chris was easy to communicate with; and he sent fun photo/video updates. I could tell Frank was having a good time.

Ripple had another fantastic stay! Chris took great care of her and even got her out during the cool part of very hot days. We’ll be back for sure!

Chris was great! He took care of our cattledog for 10 days. She stayed with him at his house and got out for plenty of walks. Chris was communicative and sent us plenty of photos. Would highly recommend Chris to take care of your furbabies!

Chris took excellent care of our fur baby! We appreciated the videos he sent us during her week long stay . Our dog definitely enjoyed her time away from home, she made a new friend! Our family will definitely book with Chris again in the future.

Schedule

I am usually home every day working. I do have classes on campus for an hour and 15 minutes during the day at Sac State (currently working on a masters in psychology to be a therapist). I do have to be in the office on Friday’s however. But I am flexible and I am happy to work with you to meet your and your baby’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I can care for pets in my home and depending on the location, in the client’s home. We have a therapy dog that currently lives with us and he is my roommate’s dog.

A typical day

We have a couple of parks around and places to walk to. My backyard is pretty spacious, playing fetch and running around will be a great time. I like to walk to friend’s places around the neighborhood and I would love to take your baby for a walk with me.
