Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Pet-Sitter Available!
Experienced pet-sitter with a widely flexible schedule available for any needs you may have for your pet! On top of pet-sitting and day trip/walking experience I have experience as an assistant groomer from working for The Green Groomer in Northampton, MA which you are welcome to get in touch with as a reference. I also worked at a Dog Daycare in the Boston area before moving to Western MA, where I was involved with many responsibilities surrounding the pups including providing their meals, pick-ups/drop-offs, de-escalation of conflict, and general moderation of behavior. Working in this field has granted me the opportunity to work with dogs of all temperaments, ages, and sizes and has taught me how to interact with pups from all walks of life. On top of that I have experience with bathing, nails, and ear cleanings from my time at the Green Groomer.

Ratings and reviews
Christian was a proactive communicator who took great care of Sinatra for us.
No problems whatsoever and Christian responded to my messages promptly. He also left the house just as he found it. Thanks Christian!
Christian was able to accommodate a last-minute request and took care of my pup with special care instructions. Thank you!
Thanks so much! The pups were Happy!
Christian took care of our dog for a week! He took such good care of her, paying attention to all the information we left for him regarding her daily routines etc. When we arrived to brIng her home, she was upset that he wasn't coming with us! She had a great time with him. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Great job!

Schedule
My schedule is extremely flexible, with open availability during the week before 3PM, making check-ins during the work day hassle free, and my shift never getting out later than 10:30PM, so overnight boardings are still not a problem during my work week. I also have Friday-Sundays off so long weekend boardings are always an option.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Please let me know in advance of any house rules for your pup (i.e furniture rules, dietary restrictions, routine scheduling) and I will be sure to follow them with the same consistency you would. In regards to boarding with me they would be boarded in a pet-free, smoke-free, child-free condo with a large unfenced yard in the back for leashed outings when needed!
A typical day
I love hiking and going on walks with pups. There is a little hidden gem dog park in my town that is never too busy which I would be more than happy to take your dog to if you are comfortable with them in a dog park setting. I also live on a street with very minimal, slow moving traffic that is great for walks in case you are not comfortable with a dog park setting.

- Please let me know of any house rules for your pet (i.e. furniture policies, general routines, corrective behavioral issues) and please inform me of any dietary restrictions or concerns. Please also inform me of any temperament notes, or former traumas (this will never turn me away from a pup, I have worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments it just helps to know beforehand.) Thank you!
