Pet care experience

Dad and experienced pet owner

Grew up with cats and dogs and even raised a puppy when I was 12. Until recently, had my own good boy. I prefer dogs over people. It’s just me and my 7 year old son. We like to play sports and take dogs around Lake Murray and Dog Beach. I’m versatile, I can be very active and hike up mission trails with your Malinois or sit on the couch watching sports with your Frenchie - or anything in between. I work from home and would prefer to have a fluffy pal by my side.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 16, 2026

Chris is a nice, pleasant and friendly when we met, and Zoe took a liking to him right away. He sent us photos when we asked and communicated with us when we would inquire how Zoe was doing throughout the day. Chris watched Zoe for a good amount of the day since my partner and I work shifts at the hospital. Chris did a wonderful job with Zoe, took her on walks and car rides and updated us so we felt that she was given plenty of love and attention. Thanks for having her in your care and we'd love to book you again.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 23, 2025

Chris has been so patient and kind to me and my 8 week old puppy Cub! I was so worried about my work schedule and how young my puppy was and he completely put me at ease and accommodates my early morning drop offs! Highly recommend him for puppies, and so lucky to have found him!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 18, 2025

Chris is amazing with my senior dog, Cedric! Although he is an older dog, Cedric has a lot of energy and Chris made sure he was able to remain active throughout their day together. He also sent me updates which was important to me as a dog owner. Will be booking with him again!

My dog came back happy and tired! Chris was communicative and a great dog sitter.

Chris was an excellent dog sitter. He went above and beyond to care for my elderly dog, including administering multiple medications, taking him on walks even when he was weak, and cooking him chicken to encourage eating. He was communicative and flexible with pick up and drop off logistics.

Safety, trust & environment

Im an early bird and will walk your pet in the am, lunch, and dinner. Open to sleeping in bed, floor, crate, etc. Will also take them hiking, to dog beach, and lots of pup cups. I’ve always worked from home so several walks a day. Great with active, high energy, and lazy couch potatoes, and every personality in between. Dog parks and let’s and lots of love.

A typical day

We will go to the beach and swim, go to Lake Murray, hikes at Mission Trails and the dog park. I'm very active and will do what is necessary to keep them happy.
