Pet care experience
Premium Care, Peace of Mind
Leaving a beloved member of your family with someone new shouldn't mean spending your trip or day worrying. I provide attentive, individualized care built around safety, comfort, familiar routines, and dependable communication so you can leave with confidence. 🐕 15+ Years of Dog-Care Experience • Individualized Care I have approximately 15+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, beginning with dogs I helped raise from puppyhood and continuing through adulthood and senior years. Today, that experience also includes professionally caring for dogs through Rover. I've cared for dogs with different ages, sizes, personalities, and temperaments—including seniors, medication needs, and companions requiring extra patience or attention. There's no one-size-fits-all care here. I learn what makes your companion unique: feeding and potty routines, exercise, medications, sleeping habits, personality, triggers, preferences, favorite activities, and comfortable alone time. Your instructions and their normal routine guide their care. 🏡 Boarding • House Sitting • Doggy Day Care Choose the care that fits them best. Boarding provides a comfortable, home-like environment with companionship, attention, play, appropriate exercise, relaxation, and affection. House sitting allows companions happiest at home to remain in familiar surroundings and maintain the routine they already know. Doggy day care provides attentive daytime care, companionship, play, relaxation, and appropriate activity while you're away for the day. I focus on compatibility and personalized attention, not treating someone you love like just another booking. 🕐 Flexible Schedule • Care Around Their Needs I primarily work through my own businesses, giving me greater control over my schedule. I spend significant time at home while occasionally leaving for business, errands, and other responsibilities. That flexibility lets me plan around those in my care rather than forcing everyone into the same rigid schedule. 📱 Regular Updates • Responsive Communication Expect regular updates, responsive communication, and careful attention to your instructions. You shouldn't have to wonder whether everything is okay while you're away. ❤️ More Than Basic Pet Sitting I'm not here simply to provide food, water, and supervision. I'm here to care for someone who matters deeply to you—so you can go about your day or enjoy your time away knowing they're safe, comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for.

Ratings and reviews
Chris did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. He gave routine updates with pictures and details that gave me all the comfort while we were away for the week. He was very flexible with our schedule and extremely detail oriented and meticulous about knowing their routine and any medication’s needed. It was also nice to find a Dog Sitter that does not take a million bookings during the same time. Our dogs are not very friendly with other dogs and Chris made sure not to double book with us. We will definitely be using him again for our dog sitting needs!
Christian was wonderful! We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. This was our first time leaving the dogs in our new home and Christian aced it. Watered our garden, cleaned up after himself, gave us updates, checked the mail and most of all gave us piece of mind while we were out of the country. Will definitely be using his services again.
Christian was incredibly friendly and communicative. He made sure to ask the right questions to ensure Ellie was being taken care of well.

Schedule
I primarily work through my own businesses, giving me greater flexibility and control over my schedule. That allows me to provide dependable, routine-based care tailored to your companion’s individual needs rather than forcing every pet into the same rigid schedule. I spend significant time at home while occasionally leaving for business, errands, and other responsibilities. Before every booking, we’ll discuss your companion’s normal routine, comfortable alone time, feeding and potty schedule, exercise needs, medications, and any special care requirements. Depending on the service and their needs, care can include regular potty breaks and walks, feeding, play and enrichment, companionship, medication, and overnight care. Whether you choose boarding, house sitting, or doggy day care, my focus is consistency, personalized attention, reliability, and responsive communication—helping your companion maintain a familiar routine while giving you the peace of mind to enjoy your time away.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and peace of mind are at the center of every booking. I provide attentive, personalized care designed to help your companion feel safe, comfortable, and secure while giving you confidence that someone you love is in dependable hands. I carefully follow your instructions and established routines, including feeding, medications, potty schedules, leash safety, doors and entry points, behavior, triggers, mobility needs, and other individual requirements. Senior and special-needs companions receive the extra patience and attention they may need. Compatibility matters. I take time to understand each companion’s personality, boundaries, and normal behavior rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. For house sitting, I treat your home with cleanliness, privacy, and respect. For boarding and doggy day care, I provide a comfortable, home-like environment focused on individualized attention rather than high-volume care. You can expect reliable, responsive communication and prompt updates if anything unusual occurs—so you can enjoy your time away with genuine peace of mind.
A typical day
A typical day is built around your companion’s normal routine, personality, and individual needs. I aim to keep their day familiar, comfortable, and low-stress rather than forcing them into a one-size-fits-all schedule. Mornings can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, medication when needed, affection, and attention. Throughout the day, care may include companionship, play, enrichment, exercise, relaxation, and regular potty breaks based on their routine and the service booked. Evenings include feeding, exercise or play, potty breaks, and time to settle comfortably for the night. Overnight care is provided for boarding and house-sitting stays. Whether your companion prefers an active day or simply enjoys relaxing nearby, I follow their pace and preferences. My goal is to provide consistent, attentive, personalized care that feels as familiar as possible—so they’re comfortable and you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

- Before every booking, I want to understand what makes your companion unique so I can provide safe, personalized, and consistent care. Please share their normal routine, feeding and potty schedule, exercise needs, comfortable alone time, sleeping habits, and favorite activities. I also need to know about medications, allergies, medical or mobility needs, anxiety, fears, triggers, resource guarding, reactivity, escape tendencies, destructive behaviors, separation concerns, or any history of aggression or biting. For boarding and doggy day care, please also share how they typically respond to unfamiliar people, dogs, and new environments. There’s no such thing as “too much information.” Knowing the little details helps me anticipate your companion’s needs, maintain the routine they already trust, and provide the safest, most comfortable experience possible. Honest, detailed communication helps us determine whether we’re a good fit and gives your companion the best chance for a safe, low-stress stay—while giving you greater peace of mind while you’re away.
