I take only one dog at a time!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs and cats my entire life and really love them like my children. They give me joy and make me laugh. It's such a pleasure to be in their company! I am a mature and gentle professor who lives on mercer island. I am a skilled photographer so you will get great photos of your dog. I also follow directions to a T and will communicate daily with meticulous detail. Most important, I will love them like my own.

Chris and Laura took really good care of our two dogs, one of which is a paralyzed Siberian Husky. This was our first booking. Our dogs bonded quickly with Chris and Laura. The dogs were comfortable, happy and excited at drop off after the first day. I can't recommend Chris and Laura highly enough.

We couldn't be happier with how well Bodhi seemed to enjoy his week with Chris. As a rescue with a rough start, he can be very cautious with people. So, I was surprised how quickly Bodhi was comfortable with Chris at our trial meeting. During the week Chris took him on the kinds of regular walks that Bodhi really needs to work off his high energy. While he can be a handful at 70 lbs, I'm sure part of what made it manageable was Chris' kind of dog whisperer sense. It was pretty clear when we returned that Bodhi was as good as ever and had enjoyed his vacation as much as we did!

Chris did an amIng job watching our dog while we were traveling. our pup suffers from a slight case of separation anxiety, which Chris was able to expertly handle and returned our puppy home, looking extremely happy and relaxed. We would love to use him again!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, a very safe neighborhood, my two dogs are very sweet. One is a 2 year old English bulldog who loves to play for about 15 minutes before he collapses into snoring and sleep. Ha ha. The other is a tiny ten pound chihuahua/pomeranian who rules the bulldog. The Bulldog is incredible with tiny dogs because his best buddy is so small. He is extremely gentle and understands how to be with tiny dogs. I don't leave the animals alone beyond running to the grocery store so know that your fur baby will get my undivided attention, 24/7. I am very communicative with you about their wellbeing, and am a photographer so you will get the best photos you have ever had of your animal. I will follow your directions to a T regarding diet, discipline or anything else you want me to do or not do. I am your guy! I am a mature and gentle professor who will give your animal all that I give my own.
