Pet care experience

Lover of all furry friends and fun!

Besides owning a cat for most of my life with special medical needs, and petsitting for neighbors with 2 cats and a dog, I also have an education background in Zoology & Animal Behavior! This makes me a great fit with all kinds of pets, and shows you my dedication to the creatures we love. Although I have no formal education in dog training, I worked in a facility that trained dogs, and my lovely coworkers there passed me some valuable knowledge that has deepened my understanding (and love!) of dogs.

We couldn't be happier with Chris and the wonderful job they did caring for our two cats! They took notes during our meet up and immediately clicked with the cats (which means they are an expert at reading those sometimes subtle cat body cues). We really appreciated their comfort and confidence caring for the cats, including one who requires daily meds. They sent daily pictures and updates, gave the cats plenty of love and attention, and we returned to a very neat, tidy house and two happy kitties! We are looking forward to their next stay!

Chris has been a trusted friend of our family, and particularly of the family pets for years. They’ve spent full weeks caring for our two cats (one quite elderly guy who needed some extra love) and a wild dog who needed all sorts of extra attention including comfort during 4th of July fireworks!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I'm currently working part-time, which leaves me pretty flexible for sitting as long as I have plenty of notice! However, I do reserve Saturdays for time with my friends & family. Otherwise, the sky's the limit!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I can easily and safely crate animals as needed, with professional experience in this area. In case of any kind of accidents, pet parents will always be notified immediately, and the area will be cleaned as necessary. I take the safety & cleanliness of your pets just as seriously as their enjoyment of their time with me.

A typical day

I love playing with dogs and cats, going for long walks, and chilling out together. Whatever your pet's needs are, I'm ready and willing to follow that!

Be sure to let me know if your pet has any side effects from medications that I need to keep an eye on. Also, if there are any particular or odd behaviors that are normal or abnormal for your pet that aren't what someone may necessarily be looking for.
