My first word as a baby was "dog."
Pet care experience
I have always been that guy on the street asking to pet your dog. I love my 2 year old Doxin mutt, and I am ready to share a bit of that love with other dogs. I am available most week days and considering my dog has gone for 10 mile walks, I can handle a solid walk with yours! I have played sports all my life and love to be outdoors. I have worked as a manager for the last 4 years of my life and I am looking to do something that makes me happy and if dogs do not make you happy then I am really unsure of what possibly can. I will take all the photos you would like of your puppy when I am with them since I would love them to put a smile on your face as they do mine.
Reviews
Chris was easy to communicate with and definitely a dog guy! Thanks for watching Ellie for the afternoon for us.
Chris and his family are fantastic! Inku was clearly comfortable and happy, which does so much for me, in turn! She's got separation anxiety, and I get anxious, myself. Chris is flexible, reassuring, intuitive, engaged, attentive, and communicative. Inku was clearly comfortable with both him and his wife, and their young daughter is good around her, too. Their yard is just the right size for some good sniffing and short zoomies, with side streets for walks, and they've got comfy places to chill inside. She and Ollie were a perfect medium-energy match, and she got a great mix of stimulation and relaxation. When I picked her up, she was calm and happy. This is the kind of thing that makes a huge difference in my dog's life, and my own, and I can't say how much I appreciate it! Thank you all again, and we'll definitely be in touch in the future!
Chris is wonderful! Upon meeting him for the first time I knew he was someone I could trust with our fur babies. He sent pictures the entire time and gave updates during the entire check in. I highly recommend Chris as he’s very personable and provides the best care for your furry loved ones!
Chris was fantastic! Inku's very anxious about my leaving, and he was reassuring to both her and me (I get anxious too!)! He has a nice yard for the dogs to play in, with comfortable spaces in shade and sun, and comfortable space inside to snooze and cuddle. It made such a huge difference for me to be able to leave her somewhere safe and comfortable, knowing I could get errands done and she could socialize and play and be safe with human attention and a playmate. When I picked her up she was happy and healthy. Chris was communicative, prompt, flexible, and reassuring! His dog Ollie was a great match for Inku's personality, too! We'll definitely be back; thank you again!!!

I want to make dogs feel welcome in my home so I will do whatever they need to be comfortable between walks and playing or relaxing. We have lots of beds and rugs and sunny spots and we all love getting out of the house to be active. Every single dog is different but most all them love some good scratches.

Information Chris W. would like to know about your pet
I love dogs and I do not have any preferences on breed. I know my dog is very much someone who tailors himself to who he is with. If you want to run he'll run all day and night. If you want to nap and never leave the couch he will sleep 23 hours and be happy as can be. If your dog love to be lazy and cozy that is nice to know so I do not drag them on walks they have no interest on going on with me. If they are extremely active it is nice to know so I do not deprive them and we can take a walk every hour. I can handle an overly playful dog and I have experienced my share of bites and nips from all sizes so if they have a habit is always nice to know about. Also any dietary restrictions or allergies are very much important so they don't get any treats or food they should not.
A typical day
Our house has a great fenced in yard and lots of nice green grass. There are plenty of amazing walking paths in the area as well and a few dog parks. I love to throw balls or frisbees for anyone who will go get it. I played frisbee for 8 years so if one dog wants to challenge me I can really huck it deep. Ill play tug of war with the best of them and if they want to nap, well then I can tuck in too.

Availability
I work mostly evenings but my young daughter and I are free and together most of the days while my wife is at work. So the two of us love to go on adventures to go walk pooches or just be outside. We are mostly free mornings and middays however, since I am off Sunday Monday those days we are free for anything.
