Pet care experience

Midwest city dog care

I’ve personally trained my last two Dalmatians, and my current one is in service dog training—so I’m very comfortable working with dogs at different training levels, including puppies. I’ve also volunteered and fostered for the Humane Society, working with dogs from abusive backgrounds. Helping them recover and find loving homes has given me valuable experience with fearful or reactive dogs. I’m also experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience and extra care they may need. For added peace of mind, I have a storm shelter on-site—if there’s a tornado warning, I’ll do everything I can to safely bring your dog in with me. While my profile shows a 2-dog limit, that’s mainly to allow for some overlap during drop-offs and pick-ups. If you have more than two dogs from the same household, I’m happy to accommodate them all.

Chris was very good my dogs and really knows what he is doing. He has a good set up and my dogs actually liked being there. We will definately be using him again.

Chris was a great pet sitter when I needed to board my dogs. I got regular updates with photos, both got along well with his dogs, but he also took care to do a meet and greet prior to the stay, and to introduce them properly - you can tell he knows how to handle dogs. I felt very comfortable and confident in leaving my dogs in his care, and I know I will have some daycare or boarding needs in the future, and I plan to continue to work with Chris.

Chris went the extra mile for us! We had a meet and greet before we boarded, and we had some scheduling drop off and pickup times, and Chris was extremely accommodating and easy to work with. He sent updates and pics, and it was obvious that he really made an effort to make them comfortable. We will definitely use his services again. Thank you, Chris!!

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.
