Pet care experience

Expert Dog Walker for ALL SIZES

With over 20 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from a tiny 3lb Teacup Maltese to two 140lb+ Rottweilers. Growing up around dogs since I was 3, I’ve developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I currently own four dogs, which I walk three times a day, and I’m comfortable handling dogs of any size or temperament. Additionally, I have 1200+ hours of volunteer experience at vet clinics, humane societies, and horse farms, which has further enhanced my skills in animal care and safety. Your fur baby will be in caring, experienced hands with me! I hope I'm given the opportunity to demonstrate my passion for animal care! Serving Gateway and surrounding areas.

Safety, trust & environment

At my home, I provide a pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for my dogs to interact, play, and relax. Each of my dogs has their own designated space, but they also enjoy group playtime, keeping them engaged and happy. I make sure that each of them gets individual attention tailored to their needs, whether it’s a walk, play session, or a calm cuddle. I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and naps to help them feel secure and settled.

Christian is very professional and dependable. He is knowledgeable about various dog breeds and my Buddy was instantly comfortable around him. I have peace of mind while away at work. We are so grateful and appreciative to have found him.

Christian was fantastic. My Gracie was well taken care of. She’s an older dog and Christian let her walk at her own pace. He was very caring, always made sure she had fresh water, a treat and some extra puppy rubs before he left. Christian also had excellent communication with me throughout the process and would send pictures of Gracie on their walk. I highly recommend him for any pet services! Thank you so much Christian!

Christian is amazing! My parents were having some health troubles and needed help with dog walking. Their pup Mo (Lhasa Apso) could be a little difficult with new people but Christian's experience and patience with dogs of all types made it a quick/smooth transition. I know it helped Mo as much as my parents to have this stability while they were convalescing. Mo missed his long walks so much and Christian was happy to oblige. Highly recommend Christian! If we are in need in the future he will be the first we reach out to.
