Pet care experience

Former professional dog trainer

I worked professionally as a pet dog trainer for approximately four years, where I helped owners improve obedience, leash manners, behavior issues, and overall structure for their dogs. This experience allowed me to work hands-on with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, ages, and energy levels. In addition to my professional training background, I currently train and compete with my own dog, which keeps my handling skills sharp and gives me continued real-world experience with exercise routines, enrichment, and behavioral management. I am certified in pet first aid and CPR and always prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with owners. I am comfortable handling large breeds, high-drive dogs, reactive dogs, puppies, and dogs that require routine reinforcement of training. I aim to provide dependable, calm, and structured care so dogs feel secure and owners feel confident while they are away.

10/10 would do again. I was worried about leaving my Dane with a sitter but he quickly put me at ease and updated us everyday with photos and videos. Will be using Christian again!!!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a structured full-time schedule, which allows me to reliably provide morning, evening, and weekend care. I am active and used to exercising dogs regularly, so walks, drop-ins, and consistent routines are easy for me to maintain. I plan my week in advance and only accept bookings I can fully commit to, ensuring pets receive dependable and attentive care.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and structure are always my top priorities. With my background as a professional dog trainer and certification in pet first aid and CPR, I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I follow owner instructions closely regarding feeding, medication, crate routines, and exercise. I use proper leash handling, situational awareness, and calm leadership to keep dogs safe and secure both in my home and in clients’ homes.

A typical day

A typical day includes structured walks, playtime, and mental enrichment tailored to each dog’s needs. I enjoy reinforcing basic obedience during daily activities, providing exercise for high-energy dogs, and calm companionship for more relaxed pets. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel confident their dog is happy, exercised, and well cared for throughout the visit or stay.

I like to know about a dog’s routine, energy level, training background, and any behavioral tendencies such as leash pulling, reactivity, or separation anxiety. It is also helpful to know feeding schedules, medical needs, crate training status, and favorite activities. The more I understand about your dog beforehand, the better I can provide safe, structured, and personalized care.
