Safety, trust & environment

I will follow any rules or guideline you require when checking in on your pet. I am incredibly flexible when it comes to how you would like me to go about being in your home and working with your pet.

Information Christian J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is anything specific about your pet that will help me to care for them and ensure their safety/happiness. Does your dog only like going to a specific part of your neighborhood? Does your cat only drink from certain dishes? Whatever it is, I will do my absolute best to make it happen!

A typical day

I am open to all activities that your pets will find fun. Without specific instruction, I will default to my pets' favorites. For dogs, this will be walks and fetch. My dog is absolutely obsessed with fetch. For cats, it depends on how much they will allow. My cats love hair ties and things they can chase. If yours would rather just stare at me from across the room, that works too!

Pet care experience

I got my first cat at 10 years old and have had pets in the house ever since. I have two cats and a dog at home now. I am proficient in caring for other people's pets and routinely board and walk the dogs and cats of friends. Comfortable with all sizes of dogs for walking and playing.

Christian is an exceptional pet sitter who creates a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet in his care. It's clear how much he genuinely cares about animals. What really stands out is his attentiveness and reliability. He communicates clearly, and provides thoughtful updates, which makes being away so much easier. As a pet owner himself with two cats and a dog, he understands how important trust and routine are. On top of that, his customer service is excellent—he’s responsive, considerate, and genuinely cares. I highly recommend Christian to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.

I’ve seen firsthand how he is with animals, and he’s just naturally really attentive and patient. He picks up on their personalities quickly and adjusts to what they need, whether that’s playtime, sticking to a routine, or just being a calm, safe presence. He’s reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely enjoys being around animals. I’d trust him with our pets any day

Christian is someone you can always count on to take care of your pets! He’s passionate about animals and very experienced with cats and dogs. He’s taken excellent care of my cat Mochi, just as if he’s his own. Christian is reliable, trustworthy and will treat your pet with love and respect!

Christian is an exceptional pet sitter, and I truly can’t recommend him enough. He has provided both dog sitting for my dog, Ellie, and in-home drop-in visits for my cat, Luna, and the level of care he gives to both of them is outstanding. From the start, it was clear how caring and attentive he is. He takes the time to understand their routines and personalities, and throughout the week, he provides thoughtful updates that give me complete peace of mind. I always know they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. He goes above and beyond—not only making Ellie feel right at home, but also spending extra time during his visits playing with Luna and giving her all the attention she needs while we’re away. That extra effort truly makes a difference. What stands out most is the genuine care he puts into pet sitting. It really feels like he takes my pets into his family and treats them as his own. I feel completely comfortable leaving them in his care, and I would happily and highly recommend Christian for any pet sitting or drop-in needs.
