Highlights
Pet care experience
Active * 28 y/o * Husky/Lab Uncle
I’m an active 28 year old dog uncle to 2 crazy huskies, and a very personable lab mix. Also have experience dog-sitting for a Golden Retriever, black lab, and Golden-Doodle. I typically take them on 1.5-2 mile walks downtown, but am always game to go for a hike down a trail, or spend some time at the dog park. Can tailor the experience to your preference. I’m available for multiple services, including drop-in visits, walks, and home sitting. Very flexible with my schedule, especially during the week. Please provide adequate heads up of appointments, when possible. Could potentially be available for repeat/scheduled walks, depending on the day/time. I’ll bring healthy treats to reward good behavior, provide waste bags, and can send picture updates if requested. Feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, or additional requests that you may have.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I like to spend time with dogs, taking them outside several times for bathroom breaks, play time, and exercise such as walks, hikes, and runs. Responsible with feeding them regularly, and rewarding good behavior with treats.
Ratings and reviews
Chris was great with our dogs! He house-sat our two female pit bulls for five days, and even though they can be challenging on walks, he handled them confidently and with care. He made sure they got plenty of exercise, including long walks and hikes on local trails, which I'm sure they loved. We really appreciated the updates, it gave us great peace of mind. Our home was left spotless and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Chris again and highly recommend him!
Chris did an amazing job with our 2 large dogs, as well as with housesitting. We received regular updates and photos of the dogs, great communication throughout the stay and the house was spotless when we got home. For once I felt completely relaxed leaving the dogs at home and not worried at all. Thank you Chris!
Chris kept our house neat and tidy, took our dog for hikes around the area, and sent us a few pictures/updates so we knew all was well while away - would book again.
Chris is very reliable, friendly and responsive!
Chris was amazing with our dog. This was the first time Dodger was left with someone else. He was able to put me and my dog at ease with his compassion for dogs. He didn't even mind taking the the 6 flights of stairs at the hotel to take my dog out. Apparently Dodger has a fear of elevators. He went above and beyond my expectations. I was actually able to enjoy my evening at Carowinds with my family knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend.
Arrived on time and was great with our pup! Followed all directions. Would definitely ask him to house sit and care for our Joy again.
