Fun & responsible family loves pets
Pet care experience
We are a fun, loving family that adores animals. We have taken care of dogs and cats all of our lives and my two active sons (ages 13 & 16) absolutely love animals, especially dogs. Currently we have a very active 2.5 year old German Shorthaired Pointer named Walt that we take on runs and play fetch with daily.
Reviews
Chris was super easy to coordinate with and he took great care of our dog, Benny! Chris’s dog Walt is super sweet and he and Benny got along right away. We received plenty of pictures and updates. We will happily leave Benny is his care again.
Luna had a great time at Chris's house. Chris was very communicative. I will leave Luna at Chris's again, should she ever need to be cared for when my family leaves town. Thanks again!
Chris and his family were the perfect home away from home for my 3 yr old GSP! I was called away home for 3 weeks, and I couldn’t be more appreciative that he and his family housed my pup. Regular communication/pics/videos, meeting needs around feeding, and extra playtime we’re not a problem! They accommodated early drop-off and late pick-up. There was even an incident where my dog needed to go to the vet and Chris even took time off work and managed the aftercare with absolute compassion. A++
Chris and his family were wonderful and took excellent care of our dog. She came home happy and tuckered out. Chris was easy to communicate with and responsive every time I reached out. Will definitely book with Chris again!

I have a large, well-fenced backyard with a dog door access and a friendly, playful dog to keep your dog entertained. We are happy to take your dog on daily walks or runs, depending on their preferred level of activity.

Information Chris W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, how they get along with other dogs and people, and anything else you think will help them feel happy, safe, and loved. To ensure everyone's safety, I do not accept aggressive dogs or dogs in heat. I also require that vaccinations, including kennel cough prevention and flea treatment be up to date. Tell me more about your dog! Feel free to answer any of these questions that seem relevant to your dog's stay: 1. How does your dog get along with other dogs? 2. Is he/she crate trained? (Either way is fine!) 3. Any separation anxiety or challenges I should know about? 4. Any medications you need me to administer during the stay? 5. Any allergies? 6. Is he/she housebroken? 7. Are vaccinations & flee meds up to date? 8. Are there any specifics about your dog you want me to know so we can ensure a great stay? New to Rover? If you are new to Rover and this is your first booking let me know and I can send you a promo code for $20 off your first booking.
A typical day
We have dog toys and love to play fetch. We will cuddle on the couch, check out all the smells on a neighborhood walk, and if your dog enjoys being off leash and interacting with other dogs we can go to our local "dog park." Your dog also has free access to my large fenced backyard anytime he/she wants to go soak up some sun or run around like a crazy dog by going through the doggie door.

Availability
I am a high school teacher and taking care of your dog is a really fun way for me and my boys to earn a little supplemental income. As a teacher, I am available to give your dog oodles of attention and love during non-school hours, on weekends, holidays, and during the summer. We would love for your dog to stay with us! If you choose to board your fur baby with me during school hours, he/she will have full access to my large fenced backyard through a doggie door and my dog Walt will keep him/her entertained until me or my two sons get home from school. We are planning to be home for the holidays this year, so please reach out if you need boarding for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other winter holidays.
