Pets are an extension of family.
Pet care experience
I started pet sitting for my brothers collegue from MD Anderson approximately 3 years ago. This collegue owned 1 adult wheaten terrier and decided to add another puppy wheaten terrier to the mix. And this is where I came in. This collegue had asked me to pet sit for her when she was doing 24 hour shift, so I would stay the entire day and night in her house in the woodlands. I've spent an accumulated of a few months the amount of times I pet sat for her. Since then, I've taken care of brand new born bull dog puppies and mother to senior citizen dogs. Having 2 dogs of my own, I care for them as family rather than pets. And I'll deploy the same level of care to those I am entrusted with.
Reviews
My Yorkie is very antisocial (scared) with people and dogs especially when I am not around but she quickly adapted to Chris’s presence. He goes over and beyond with care and love when it comes to Zoeys temperament and schedule. Doorbell going off, dryer buzzing, to Zoey’s biting, Chris managed her behaviors very well. At times I will have to leave Chris with my Zoey at night while I am at work and I can not describe the peace I get while chris dog sits for me. Chris is the first person that comes to mind when my friends or colleagues ask about dog walker/sitter.
I have a English bulldog and let me tell you. English bulldogs are sensitive/hard breed to take care of. I was very hesitant to keep trying after going through multiple people. Ever sense I found Chris my life has been so easy. My English bulldog needs very specific instructions on how to be taken care of and Chris is very detailed. He sends me updates without even being promoted to send updates. He has been my dog sitter for so long he got to care for my bulldog while and after she was pregnant. He was so loving and patient with my needy bulldog and her pups. Helped with taking them to their vet visits, to potty training my puppy’s. Chris is a reliable, loving and trust worthy person. Will love and care for your pets like if they are his own.

I have a good sized backyard and house where my 2 dogs roam around and play and sleep. My dogs are active and athletic so when the temperature is right I can take them up to 3-6 miles walks. So if your pets needs a long active walk, look no further. Additionally, I interact with my dogs in all areas of the house: they sleep and lay on the couch, sleep on the bed, sit right next to the dinner table. No hyperbole, my dogs are family and are treated as such. So I have no issue interacting with your pet according to your needs or restrictions. Despite my bubbly disposition towards my dogs, I am not without spine, and I can correct them sternly- take toys away if needed because there are rules for everyone.

Information Chris R. would like to know about your pet
If your dog is scared or agitated by anything in particular, then it would be great to know. House rules and pretty much anything restriction, if any, that I should deploy while I am entrusted with your dog. I will take great care of your dog, so providing the full rules for your dog, and its disposition, is important for me to know.
A typical day
Interacting with your pet to make him/her happy is my priority. If your pet loves to play fetch, than you will have an expert on hand. I can play with them for however long they need. If we go on walks, then hopefully we'll sniff around and find a park near by. I love parks, and I'm more than certain your pet will too.

I am a 2nd year college student studying electrical engineering and work in the evenings. Weekend are going to be my primary days of dog sitting/walking. I will be steadfast in my response and freedom to dog sit given that you have your designated priorities and schedule as well as I. In the summertime and during holidays, my schedule will have much higher clarity for your pet.
