Don’t feel guilty while you’re away

Pet care experience

I’ve lived with and have been around animals since I was a little kid. My wife and I share our home with a senior Alaskan Malamute and two cats who are the centers of our worlds. I have a ton of experience watching pets for both family and friends with a variety of different needs. I have experience caring, walking, and playing with young/older cats and dogs, as well as giving medications.

Chris is very kind and helpful. He left pictures with every drop in, and was flexible with our dog care needs.

Chris is reliable, shows up on time, and the time he is there is maximized. He asked what kind of walk I preferred and I okayed a run. She can go 1-2 miles and I love that she gets that kind of exercise. On top of that Chris is the only person that Trewdy (8 LB maltipoo) will let brush her teeth. That is totally worth the extra expense. I swear I would add that on at the groomers if she would allow it and they would say “she kind of did” after a expensive doggie dental bill from not regularly brushing her teeth. I need to know this is getting done. She absolutely will not let me or my husband. With Chris she just allows it. Will continue to use and refer Chris-to-rover

Chris has been a huge help to my boyfriend and me with our dog and 2 cats. With me starting school again and throughout working long hours and my boyfriend working long hours, Chris helped us so much with everything from feeding to litter box scooping and dog walks. Our animals have complex food and supplement routines, as well, with raw food, dentals treats, etc. It has always been such a huge relief to know that we had Chris’s support with them furballs, and it made time away from them for work, school and even vacations much more relaxing knowing that he was there to give them fantastic care, lots of pets and love! I would highly recommend Chris as a “pet nanny,” as we would affectionately call him.

Simply put, I spoil my dog and cats. Hurley, MoMo, and Many get plenty of love, exercise, and care throughout the day. This often entails early morning potty breaks, walks in the neighborhood, fun with the laser pointer, snuggle secessions, and hand feeding/administrating food/medications.

Information Chris T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I have experience with both large, small, young, and older dogs and cats. I’ve seen it all.

A typical day

I understand each dog/cat are unique and enjoy doing different things whether that’s taking walks in new areas, playing with certain toys, or being pet a certain way. I’ll let them decide.

I’m transitioning from a long term career and looking to spend more time closer to home with my wife and aging dog/cats. I want to do something that I love. I’m currently free most days/times.
