I have a fenced backyard that backs up to a forest. I will be happy to take care of your dog the same way that you take care of them.
Ratings and reviews
Chris was quick to respond to my last minute request and very accommodating in fitting in a meet and greet the evening before we needed his services. He was friendly, knowledgeable (about the app, which I'm not) and my dogs loved him. We felt comfortable letting Chris into our home to take care of our furry children. He kept us updated and sent lots of pics. We would certainly use his services in the future.
Fantastic walker for my boys! I'm grateful for his services.
Great job. On time, dogs seemed contented. He also carefully observed our request that he not get his face close to Bertie's (he sometimes nips), yet managed to show him affection, etc.
Chris is always amazing at handling our high energy puppy. He has been doing drop ins for us and is always flexible, on time and always shows us what a great time our puppy is having.
Chris tooks care of Jackson wonderful they connected with a bond beautifully. Someone who travels often it is so nice to have someone like Chris caring for my Shepherd baby. Definitely will book again.
Can always count on Chris to work his magic with Milo and make him feel comfortable. Always an enjoyable read on our dogs Rover Card too! Our go to for when we are out of town 🐕🦺

Schedule
I want to “up” my interaction with my furry friends. I am up early and go to bed late so I am open to drop in visits and dog walking most of the day.
