Animal Caretaker and Enthusiast

Pet care experience

I worked in an animal hospital for ~ 4 years as a caretaker and taken care of my own pup for 8 years now. Have loved animals since I can remember; from my grandpa “gifting me” his own dog as a kid, to taking care of a teacher’s pet snake for a summer, to owning several dogs, to working in an animal hospital, I think all animals are fascinating and love imagining what is going on from their perspectives. I am the only person responsible for my dog everyday and even take care of my parents pups sometimes. It’s always a pleasure hanging out with such sweet creatures. Even the dogs I’ve cared for in the past, that were a bit more rough around the edges, have been a welcome challenge of compassion. Always make sure to keep their daily routines like feeding times/walks/let outside on a regular schedule. My dog Roscoe is very sweet, so if you’re own pet doesn’t mind making friends, Roscoe would love to meet them.

Christian was great! I was so impressed with how nice and confident he was. My dog seemed to like him very much!

Chris is an outstanding pet sitter! Even our neighbors were asking how we managed to find such a great companion for our boxers! Chris was forever patient with our 12 year old boxer and an energetic friend to our Boxer puppy the next summer week's vacation. He works well with both ages - has amazing credentials as he had worked at Christensen Animal Hospital for years and has a lot of experience with our furry friends. Responsible, mature, friendly, loyal and informative as well - kept in touch with us our entire trip. You will be so fortunate to have Chris care for your pets!

Information Christian C. would like to know about your pet

I do have experience giving medication to stubborn as well as aggressive animals; please let me know their usual schedules for any of their medications with your usual vet instructions and I can take it from there. With the exception of anything having to do with a needle-point syringe. It’s always useful to get any additional information regarding your pet’s personality such as nervous, shy, cuddly, anxious, aggressive, stubborn, energetic, lethargic, etc. The more you describe your pet’s usual behavior to me, the more I can make sure to understand their circadian rhythm and personality to keep them as happy as possible. Plus, I love reading how enthusiastic pet owners are about their own pets!

A typical day

I love taking dogs to walk along Lake Michigan; especially by Northwestern University. That is my — and my dog, Roscoe’s, favorite spot for long walks on the beach with plenty of stimulation all around. Whenever the lake is out of the question, I love taking dogs to the forest preserve off of Caldwell and Touhy for more adventurous walks through the woods where they may even passively encounter wildlife like deer and free-roaming bunny families. Emphasis on passive, because I like to give the wildlife as much space as possible. When the forest preserve is out of question, I can always take the dogs down to Pooch Park/James Park and spend an hour or two playing catch/frisbee/tag.
