Information Christian S. would like to know about your pet

Not much honestly. A name, times they get fed, any special needs that they need and if they are allowed on the couch or bed.

A typical day

Photo montage so the owner doesn't feel like their dog is gone. Besides that, lots of walks, tossing a ball, and time for attention so they don't feel alone.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Christian Smith, and I am a passionate and experienced pet sitter. I have always been an animal guy, and I grew up with dogs and cats in my household. Over the years, I have developed a strong understanding of dog/cat behavior and body language, and I know how to handle different breeds and personalities. As a pet sitter, I prioritize the safety, comfort, and happiness of the dogs in my care. I understand that leaving your furry friend with someone else can be stressful, so I strive to provide peace of mind to pet owners by keeping them updated with regular check-ins and photos. My services include dog walking, feeding, administering medication (if needed), and of course, giving lots of love and attention. I am also comfortable handling any special needs or requests your dog may have. My roommate works via home, so your dog won’t be alone when I’m gone. I have volunteered at animal shelters and worked as a dog walker, which has given me a wide range of experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am reliable, responsible, and trustworthy, and I take pride in providing top-notch care to every dog I sit for. I would love to meet you and your furry friend and provide them with the care and attention they deserve. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule a meet-and-greet.

Christian was absolutely wonderful with our high energy Golden Retriever! He sent lots of photo's of her while they were busy on walks. Plus, photos of her relaxing in his home. I was worried she would have anxiety, but she seemed to really settle in. The next time we need a pet sitter we will definitely contact Christian.

Overall, I appreciate the help during our trip, but there were a few issues that made the experience less smooth than expected. Some care instructions were missed or needed to be repeated multiple times. The feeding amount was not always correct, and the food bowls were not cleaned until I specifically followed up about it. Food crumbs on the floor were also left behind, which unfortunately led to ants in the house when we returned home. I had also requested shoes be removed inside the home, and I would have appreciated a bit more attention to boundaries overall. I think there is room for improvement in attention to detail and following care instructions more consistently.

My dog was instantly friends with Christian when he came over for the meet and greet, my dog isn’t always that friendly with new people so that was a good sign. Overall was great and sent pictures of my dog for each drop in visit. Have him booked again for my next trip and recommend!

Christian did such an awesome job watching our dog Hazel. She is somewhat uneasy around strangers- but they became best friends while we were on vacation! Christian sent pictures of all their adventures, it was as if Hazel was having a vacation too! I would not hesitate to recommend Christian.
