Active dog lover with a soft side
Pet care experience
Growing up I was the go-to for all my parents friends to dog sit. This ranged from simply letting the dog out a few times a day to long term house sitting. They placed trust in me for any medications that the dog needed, as well as any training measures that would need to be followed. I'm a runner, so any pet that is comfortable or enjoys that would be great to have a running buddy! I'm currently in between jobs so have tons of free time to go to the park, walk, or potty breaks. My roommate also works remote at the apartment so would also be available for care if I need to step out. I live in a second floor apartment that has controlled entry. Door is always locked when not in the apartment. There is a greenspace right down the stairs for a quick potty break, where dogs are always on leash. When going to the park, I always keep a watchful eye. When caring for pets in other's homes, caution will be taken to ensure security of the house, enclose in a room if someone comes to the door if needed. When walking the dog, if it looks like a negative interaction could take place with another dog, we'll find an alternate route.
Reviews
Chris did very well updating me over the weekend. However, I came home to a bright yellow stained bed with the same stains on the sink (she is 10 pounds and cannot reach either place), entirely soaked couch (it smells like raspberry vodka), a supposedly clean bowl in the cabinet full of water which dumped all over me when I went to get a bowl for my cereal, and a plate of sliced limes in my other cabinet. I was not warned of any of this before I came home.
Chris would make a great dog sitter, because he is caring, sensitive, and a very loving person. He is good with animals, and very responsible.
Chris and I live together with our dog, Daisy. He makes sure Daisy gets plenty of exercise by taking her to the park, running with her, or just throwing her a toy. Daisy knows she can always rely on him as a playmate or cuddle buddy.

Information Chris & Nathan L. would like to know about your pet
The biggest thing I need to know is comfortability of your dog around other dogs. I love going to the park and visiting friends with dogs, but if that’s not something your dog can handle I can accommodate.
A typical day
I love to go for runs with dogs that are able, especially when they can run faster than me! Going to the park and playing fetch is another favorite, I can throw the ball for hours. I also love to explore new places, and hiking trail in the area.
