Filmmaker who loves dogs
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Chris, your friendly neighborhood dog walker, and I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of them all my life, starting with a black labrador retriever best friend who kept me company for over 14 years. Have a new baby boy named Oakley and he's a doll. I am fun loving, quirky and funny, and I love to make others feel comfortable, including your pet! I like to get down on their level by kneeling or sitting, and if it’s okay with you, will bring a treat or two to win them over. I’m a writer and freelance in film production, which means my schedule is flexible during the day and I’ll have lots of time to hang with your pup. I love the outdoors and often take my friends’ family members’ dogs out for walks and runs. While under my care, I promise to treat your dog like one of my own and we will become fast friends.
Reviews
5 stars, by far. Chris watched our two dogs at our house over Thanksgiving. Everything went very very smoothly. He met with us several weeks ago before we confirmed booking. Upon meeting my dogs he was warm and friendly with them, and got down on the floor to play ball when we went to the basement. I had no hesitation in leaving for our trip. Chris provided daily reports, sometimes checking in more than once during the day--including many pictures. But really, the greatest indicator of how good he is--our dogs weren't *that* excited to see us. They were happy, but not crazy maniacs like I would have expected. To me, this means that Chris played with them lots, took them for lots of walks, and spent a lot of time with them. Very reassuring. Our house looked fantastic and was well cared for as well. I 100% recommend Chris and will happily book him in the future.
Chris is great Carl! I love that he always leaves fresh water for him before he leaves. If they don’t use the full time to walk, he will make sure to play with Carl inside.
Great all around again!
Chris was awesome, would definitely as him to watch my two doggos again. He kept me up to date and was excellent with communication. He also sent really great pictures which is kinda an added perk. They are actually the best pictures I have of these pups to date. My little dogs can be a bit needy, but he just totally rolled with it. There’s usually some wailing when I come in after a weekend, I honestly think Carlos and Ciara were looking for Chris.
