For the Love of Dogs, hire me!

I have been a dog and cat owner my entire life. We have had terriers, huskies, mixed breeds and currently have an Australian Shepherd. Though each dog and cat has their own personality, I love them all. Our 11 year old Australian Shepherd has been the smartest and the most challenging. Through training and a consistent schedule of regular exercise, he has become a lovable favorite. Over the last 20 years, friends have asked me to watch their pets while on vacations. This has been both fun and rewarding- so much so that I am looking for more opportunities to make more furry friends. Be assured (I have a clean background report) that when I come into your home to play, feed, administer medications &/or walk your dog, I will love him or her as much as you- maybe even more! No matter what the breed or temperament, we will have fun. I have the flexibility to be available in most cases with just one hours notice. So if you find that you are at work a little later than usual, you want a midday exercise/potty break or you want your pet(s) to stay at home while you are on vacation, let me know. We can set up a time for all to meet to discuss your needs at no charge.

Chris, I wanted to reach out and thank you for the wonderful care you provided for Bella while we were away. I can tell that Bella was truly spoiled by the extra attention you gave her. She clearly loved her time with you, and I especially appreciate the daily brushings you provided. It's a relief to know she was in good hands and was so well-cared for. I really enjoyed the daily updates and photos. Thank you again for being such a fantastic cat sitter! Regards, Carol and Al Johnson

Chris was a life saver!! When a previous sitter fell through last minute, Chris promptly answered my request and called me to walk through notes on our two pups since we weren’t able to do a meet and greet. She is very communicative and I loved the notes/pics with each check in.

Chris is amazing! She accommodated with me last minute and I’m truly grateful. She made my puppy feel so comfortable during the dog walking visit. He’s a little skiddish towards new people but she did absolutely amazing with him. With using rover for the first time, I have to say I’m impressed. She was so patient with my baby. Thanks again Chris for your patience and love for my puppy while I was at work.

Chris was punctual, reliable, and communicative. She showed the utmost care and attention to detail when taking care of our fur babies! She did a great job handling their behavior quirks and keeping them safe and clean, even when my girl had a bout of diarrhea.

I love all breeds of dogs and cats but just like people, they all have different personalities and backgrounds. If your dog or cat has anything that triggers aggression or anxiety (such as other dogs or thunder, etc....), I would like to know this as well as what you have done to help with this. If there are any physical limitations, ailments, allergies or medication needs, I would need to know this as well.
