It’s always nerve‑racking to have a stranger in your home taking care of your baby, but Chris put us at ease on the first day. He cared for our dog in our home for 8 days and exceeded every expectation — punctual, communicative, and deeply attentive to our pup’s needs. We received updates twice a day with no fewer than 15 photos each day; the pictures were incredible — Chris could easily be a professional “pooch photographer." Chris even went as far as to bathe him. Our dog clearly loved the walks and playtime. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy and compassionate; we’ll definitely book Chris again and highly recommend him to anyone needing a dependable in‑home dog sitter.

Christ did an amazing job with my dogs, took them out on walks, sent lots of photos and took very good care of them while I was gone. I would absolutely recommend him to sit for anyone.

Chris responded right away to an urgent booking. We had to go out of town quickly with a family emergency and Chris came right over to meet the girls. HE sent multiple pictures everyday and it was obvious that our girls loved him. HE went above and beyond and we will definitely use again.

Chis was great, my pets were were happy and healthy when I arrived home. He took this job after the previous sitter backed out the day before I left, what a life saver, kudos to Chris.
