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
Chris did an awesome job keeping our dog calm and comfortable during the storms and fireworks during the 4th of July weekend. Highly recommend.
Chris did an outstanding job taking care of our dog during our family vaca. He was responsive and provided regular updates and kept her busy and safe. I'd definitely recommend him and plan to use him again in the future!
Very good communicator with me while I was on vacation. Took good care of my dog the whole time! Very pleased!
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 very accommodating and kept me informed of Rosie’s activities.
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.

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.
