Experienced dog handler-behaviorist
Pet care experience
Three years formal work with The Seeing Eye of Morristown working with guide dogs for the blind. I started as a kennel assistant, with time becoming one of the weekend supervisors. I have over 20 years of private petting and farm sitting mostly for friends and family. I have on the job training in wide variety of medical treatments that older or medical dogs may need, such as pilling, IV and IM injections, and Sub q fluids. I've worked in animal welfare covering care for new born puppies, elder dog care, rehoming animals from hoarding cases, and preforming behavioral assessments of cats and dogs for adoption. My wife and I have two career change Labs at home from The Seeing Eye that we raised and trained from puppies ourselves, Alice being eight, and Ellen how is now three. We normally will have a foster dog in the home as well for a few months at a time.
Reviews
Christian was great! Sent us updates throughout the day, followed all the instructions and left the house in great condition!
Christian has watched my dog (Glory) for me many times. He's always flexibile and available when I've needed him. When dropping Glory off you can tell that he really loves dogs by instantly getting on the ground to play with her. He keeps me updated throughout her stay with pictures to let me know she's as happy as when I left her! Glory and I are very grateful to have Christian in our life to keep the worry out of finding a good sitter!

We live in an apartment with a pet limit so i do not offer in home boarding. But my guys get multiple leash walks a day, or we go to the may off leash parks in our area. For clients I like to a conversation on what would be most enriching for their pet and come up with a care plan together.
