Highlights
Pet care experience
Midwest city dog care
I have personally trained all of my Dalmatians over the years, and one of them is a fully trained service dog. I am highly comfortable working with dogs at all training levels, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience and specialized care. Specialized Experience Rescue Volunteer & Foster: Experienced working with dogs from abusive backgrounds. I understand how to manage, support, and build trust with fearful or reactive dogs. On-Site Storm Shelter: For peace of mind during severe weather, I have an on-site storm shelter. If there is a tornado warning, your dog will be brought directly into the shelter with me. Bookings & Multi-Dog Families My profile shows a 2-dog limit to keep the environment calm, but I am very flexible with mid-week handovers. For example, I am happy to have your dogs drop off on a Tuesday even if a different guest isn't checking out until Wednesday or Thursday. If you have a multi-dog household or the calendar looks full for the specific days you need, please message me directly so we can coordinate the timing.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Very communicative and good with dogs. We appreciated his services and how our girl seemed to like him.
Chris was great with Rocky and gave us training tips we asked about, as well. He sent photos and videos letting us know how things were going. Greatly appreciated. We will definitely request Chris again when needed.
Chris has watched my dog several times now, and she must love staying with him. She’s normally a very quiet dog that doesn’t let me get far away but when we pull up to Chris’s house she suddenly turns into a sled dog dragging me up the driveway like she can’t get inside fast enough. If she didn’t enjoy being there, she’d be pulling the opposite direction. She always comes home happy, and completely worn out from a full day of fun. Last night when I picked her up, she skipped food, water, and even her usual treat routine because all she wanted was sleep. That tells me she felt safe, played hard, and had a great time. Chris consistently sends photos and videos, which is such a comfort when you’re away and missing your pup. Knowing she wants to go to his home gives me total peace of mind. Highly recommend him.
Thank you so much for watching them!! Hopefully they played nice with everyone and were good boys! I’m sure they will be excited to come back later this month!
Chris does a great job with my GSD. I can actually enjoy my vacations and know that my sweet boy is not only safe but also having a good time.
Daisy loved spending the day with Chris! She came home worn out from playing all day. Chris is very responsive and worked with my crazy nurse schedule. I highly recommend.

Schedule
I primarily work part time from home and will be able to give your pet all the attention they may need. I can do just daycare or over night if you need.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At my home, your dog will enjoy a secure environment with a 5 to 6-foot-high fenced yard and plenty of supervised playtime. I’m always outside with the dogs—partly because my own diva Dalmatian insists I be there, too! I have two very friendly, high-energy Dalmatians who love to play and are great at tiring out their new friends. I also have two crates available if needed for rest, feeding, or downtime. Your pet's comfort, safety, and routine are always my top priorities.
Pets
A typical day
They can have lots of time to play inside or outside. I have mental stimulation games, balls to throw and a friendly Dalmatian if they would rather play with another dog. Also dog beds and a couch they can sleep or chill on if they are the calmer sort. I can do some basic dog training for an extra charge ask about it if interested.
