Availability
I do gig work on TaskRabbit (handyman, gardener, etc.), so I'm typically out for 1-2 hours at a time, before returning home to either work on my own businesses, walk dogs, or get ready for the next "gig."

About Chris M.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
For boarding, I live in a two-bedroom apartment, with a patio door that opens to a big, grassy common area. I have my boys staying here every other weekend. They're animal lovers too, but in case separation is needed, my bedroom can be used to contain a pet when the kids are around. For pet sitting and dog walking, I have a leash and a fanny pack. As a runner, it's a joy to take energetic dogs on the trail. For runs, I enjoy the Loch Raven Reservoir trails.

Big, Tender, Natural-Born Caretaker
Pet care experience
As a child and teen, I helped my mom breed, raise, and train golden retrievers. As an adult and family man, I care for my dog "Puppy" and cat "Kitty." This includes food, water, play, running, brushing, brushing teeth, and trimming nails. As a divorced dad, I'm looking for my new pet family, and to rebuild my life into a cozy peaceful existence. Experienced with using a clicker to train, and using a beep / vibrate / shock collar for training highly spirited dogs (in combination with positive reinforcement, always).

Reviews
Chris provided a wonderful home environment for my anxious pup and checked in frequently with updates and pics. Chris is gentle, calm and laid back, which worked well with my dog. When there were difficulties, such as getting my dog to sleep in his crate the first night, Chris was flexible and adaptable, which I greatly appreciated. I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in Chris’ capable hands and would call on him again to pet sit.
Chris was so wonderful with my two pups! He sent me tons of photos and updates about what they were up to while I was away, and even sent photos of him running with them (they are both very high energy and love a good run!). He was always super attentive, and they absolutely loved cuddling with him - he's a total natural with dogs and such a dog lover, I would have him watch my dogs absolutely any time. Can't wait to have him back, and I'm sure the dogs can't wait either!
Chris has been around dogs his entire life and was quite helpful and responsible with my dog breeding program. He is kind and conscientious in caring for dogs which includes a watchful and timely eye on your pups needs. Chris was also instrumental in dog training our pups. I would highly recommend Chris as your pup's caregiver while you are away.
