Dogs are the absolute best!

Pet care experience

I work FT, weekdays 7:30am-4:30pm, but available all other hours, and all weekend. I'm in Morro Bay, an Oregonian import, and living on a sailboat. If you don't want your dog on the water, no problem, we'll go to the beach, hikes, and dog parks. I'm happy to spend all my time with dogs, hence the low low rates. I don't mind lazy dogs, especially if house sitting, but I'd prefer the owners who want there dog to get as much fun and attention as we can so we can both be active together. I have had a dog in my life for over 30 years, I recently volunteered at a Malaysian Dog rescue (cared for 13 feral pooches). My former partner was a dog trainer (so I have extensive knowledge in the field and back up advice on hand) and our dog was a service dog that we trained. Dogs naturally like me, and I'm able to lure even the most timid dogs by way of patient and persistent love. That's why they always eventually trust me, because I genuinely love them. All of them (bad repped too, most of my dogs have been pit mixes). I'm also a great fixer and handyman if needed.

Chris is amazing with my timid pup. He makes him feel safe and takes him on mini adventures which he loves! He looks out for his health and his happiness! He takes great care of my boy!

Chris did awesome with my dog! My dog is pretty people selective, and I was nervous to hire a dog walker (especially a male), but after reading Chris’s profile I thought he’d be perfect for my dog who has terrible leash manners. My dog warmed up to Chris right away, and he took him for a walk on the first meet and greet. He came back nice and tired. :)
