Pet care experience
I began doing this to make ends meet during the Recession. As it turns out, I love doing it. I don't have any animals myself, so staying long-term isn't a problem. The longest dog-sitting gig I had was six weeks. It's easy to get a routine, and I am self-employed so my job is flexible. Big dogs, little dogs—I have fun with them all, who knows, I might have been a dog in a past life. This really did start as a way to make ends meet, then I still do it because I enjoy it. I am a writer and don't have a day job, so I can be there daytime for your pets as well. (I just need Internet.) I meet with clients here and there, but that isn't a problem and I am never gone for long periods of time during the day. That also goes for dog walking, I don't have a day job so just ring me.
Reviews
Chris took wonderful care of my pups!
Chris did a wonderful job with my two girls. One of them is quite leary of new people and she was fine. They were very happy to have him here. Chris communicated with me daily to let me know how they were and sent pictures. I was able to relax on vacation because he was here with the girls.
Chris was a very reliable dog sitter for our furry friend! He sent us daily updates. Our dog was happy when we got home. Thank you Chris!
Chris managed our pack of four needy dogs once again. I love that he sends a picture and an update each day. Perfect communication and the dogs are always chill when we get home so we know they had a nice stress free few days.

Information Chris M. would like to know about your pet
The main thing I like to know about a dog beforehand is their energy levels. Active, not active, etc. It's all fine and dandy, I just like to have an idea. A 2 year old dog is different to care for than a 12 year old dog. Also, if there are medications, that is good, absolutely. Though those types of clients are the ones who are usually upfront with me about it all. But in terms of breeds, absolutely not, I like all breeds and have cared for all breeds/sizes/ages.
A typical day
Since I work from home, when I dogsit I enjoy changing up the routine by taking breaks and taking dogs for walks. Around neighborhoods are usually the preferred routes. Walking is good time for both of us, I do enjoy it. Dogs are great, playing around is an excellent way to unwind. I am an early riser, which most dogs tend to be as well. I can take any pets to nearby parks, etc., if the owners do that and feel it would be good for the dog(s). I own my own vehicle and can dogsit in any part of town.
