I am an animal lover to my core and have 12 years of experience giving all my love to every furry creature that comes into my home. I love to have snuggle buddies, but if your pet is shy that's ok too. I have owned pets of all species and have had dogs my whole life. I have worked at veterinary clinics and have education in CPR, basic bandaging, medication administration, and have been trained to identify the signs of seizures before they start and after they have happened. I work best with dogs that have behavior issues such as food aggression, not housebroken, and cat aggression. I can also help teach your dog not to pull as much on a leash without the use of a halter or choker collar. If your dog doesn't need to be crated, I have multiple beds they can lay on and sprawl out. I can offer basic grooming services including bath, nail trims, ear cleaning and teeth brushing. I have experience in some basic cuts and shaves but am not a certified groomer. I use a high reward system to ease the dog's stress during grooming. I do my best to cater to your schedule, like walks, feeding, and bedtime routines to ease the stress of being in a new place. My yard is large and completely fenced in for a lot of outdoor playtime if your dog wants. I'm very flexible and my aim is to make this process as seamless as possible. If you're new to Rover,, use my promo code CHRISS37651 for your first booking to get a discount! IMPORTANT NOTES: Although I am flexible, if you wish to have a meet and greet beforehand, I need a MINIMUM of 2 weeks prior to booking start date. I no longer accept boarding for cats. I accept multiple dogs from different families at one time. Rover is my full time job, but there is no guarantee that I am in my house 24/7 as I am an adult human with responsibilities. All collars and harnesses will be tightened appropriately once they are in my care. Please leave retractable leashes at home as they will not be used with me.
