Experienced dog and cat caregiver.

Pet care experience

I started taking care of dogs when I was just in middle school walking a dog named Buddy for an elderly couple in my neighborhood in Dallas, Texas. Fast forward to college, I worked for a year at a dog daycare/boarding facility. I have always loved working with dogs and cats as well!

Chris was incredibly professional, attentive and caring. From our first communication via text, to updates while he cared for our two Great Danes—I always felt comfortable that he knew what he was doing and genuinely cared for our dogs. I would highly recommend him to care for anyone’s pets in the future!

Chris watched our cat while we were out of town. He sent us lovely updates, played with her and kept her company.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat all other dogs the same way I treat my own 2 pups. There is no such thing as a bad dog or cat, just those that need more patience. The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is let my 2 pups out and feed them. My dogs are crate trained but I work with dogs that are loose throughout the day. If caring for another’s pups/cats, they will be extra spoiled while under my care. When under my care, their well-being takes priority over all else.

Information Chris S. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know about Medication needs, dietary restrictions, allergies, energy levels, and things they like to do. Getting to know a dog by meeting them in advance of long term care is also extremely important.

A typical day

While everything depends on the dogs age, breed, and home, I can do many things with dogs. Whether it’s a walk in the park, or just running them around your back yard, I can keep active dogs active and calmer dogs more relaxed activities. I treat other people’s dogs the way I treat my own, I spoil them constantly.
