Treating Your Pets like Family!
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born. Ever since, I’ve helped care for my family dogs, cats, and any dogs or cats my friends have had. I also have my own lovable Golden Retriever. I have experience administering medication including pills, ointments, and insulin for diabetic dogs. As a perfectionist I always do my best and serve the animals in my care and their owners with impeccable service. As a pet owner, I know the angst of leaving my dog with someone I don't know very well. He's my child and your pet is your child, so I will do all that I can to make sure you’re comfortable in leaving him or her while you’re away. I will also provide constant updates, because I appreciate those when I'm away from my fur baby :). Cats and dogs of all ages are welcome.
Reviews
I was with Chris the day he adopted his golden retriever about 8 years ago. His care and love toward him from that day forward has been nothing but unconditional. I don’t doubt for a second, that his love for animals would be the same as he cares for other people‘s pets.
For anyone looking to find the perfect dog walker, Chris would definitely be someone I would recommend. Not only is he a dog daddy to a happy and silly golden retriever, named Bentley, but he has always been an avid dog enthusiast. In the 10 years I've known him he has helped watch my furry friends on several occasions and I have always had peace of mind knowing that they were in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a golden retriever who loves to play and interact with other dogs and cats. I’ve got tons of toys that could keep any dog entertained and there’s a dog park just two blocks away. My golden is older and very chill, so any dog or cat will be comfortable in my home. My golden and I take long walks to make sure he gets the exercise and the sniffs he deserves. **As the father of an older dog with arthritis, this information may be helpful for others: I live on the second floor of a walkup. But if your dog needs assistance I can carry him/her up and down the stairs.
Home
Information Chris S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog requires any special needs, what breed he or she is, what their feeding schedule is like, if there are any supplements they take. Do they have any known health issues? Any tumors or masses on their bodies that are already known?
A typical day
We will play games, go on long walks, and enjoy a park nearby. My golden retriever is great with other dogs and has toys to keep your dog occupied. My golden retriever is also good with cats.

Availability
I work from home so I have the flexibility to meet the needs of your schedule as well as have the ability to dog or cat sit in my home. I do prefer scheduling to be done one or two days in advance, but I understand emergencies or last-minute trips come up. So please reach out first, and I'll do my best to accommodate same-day or one-day ahead requests :).
