Pet care experience
All the Love to Give Your Pets!
Hello! I'm an experienced animal caretaker available for pet sittingn and boarding. I adore animals of all kinds - from the fluffy to the feathery to the scaly! I grew up with dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, hamsters, fish, and birds, and have looked after pets of friends and family since my teens. I adore dogs of all breeds and sizes and have experience with a wide range of temperaments and personalities. I can also take excellent care of cats, birds, small mammals, and reptiles, including cleaning cages and changing litter and bedding. Message me for more details! I am currently taking clients in the McElderry Park / Patterson Park area and adjacent neighborhoods.

Ratings and reviews
My dog gets so excited as soon as we arrive, which says it all. I always feel completely comfortable leaving her there, knowing she’s in great hands with Chris! 🐶
Chris is wonderful - so kind, sends lots of updates and pics, and takes great care of my furbaby. My dog gets so excited when being dropped off, so I know she has a blast here and is in good hands! Always my first choice for sitting needs !!
Chris was an awesome sitter for our little pup. We were updated regularly with photos, and when I picked up my dog he was clean and happy and even jumped up on Chris to say goodbye before we went out the door. The house is cozy and clean and we will definitely be calling Chris again next time we need a sitter!
I was super anxious about leaving my babies for 3 weeks, but Chris took great care of them. I will definitely use Chris again next time I go away!
Always feel safe leaving our two cats with Chris. Never had any problems after many drop in visits. Our boys can be little terrors while we're gone but Chris handles it with grace!
Chris was very understanding of our cats' needs and let us book this extra drop-in at the end of our vacation, which made things much less stressful

Schedule
I have a full time day job that is 90% remote (generally one in-office day a week). My schedule is very flexible so I have ample time to spend with your best furry friend. I have been pet sitting for the past few years for supplemental income and only take a couple clients at a time, so your pet will receive plenty of special attention!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I currently live with a senior miniature schnauzer mix (Appa, 12 years old) and three cats (Chessie, Squirrel, and Paddy). My dog, Appa, is a very sweet and gentle old soul who gets along with everyone; if considering me for dog boarding, we can set up a meet and greet between my dog and yours beforehand! If looking to board small animals or cats with me, they will be kept away from my other pets in their own special room to minimize stress - unless they happen to get along with my crew; Squirrel and Paddy are very outgoing and love new kitty friends. I will socialize with them one-on-one regularly.

A typical day
If boarding, your pup will have a great buddy in my dog Appa! We are generally a pretty chill and laid back household that goes on 3-4 walks daily with some puppy playtime in between. We can also hit up the nearby dog park if your pup likes to run and play. For house sitting or drop-ins, I'm happy to wear out your pup with lots of play, or just be a chill snuggle buddy to keep them company.
