Chris was an absolute blessing for our 17-year-old Yorkie during some of his most challenging months. At a time when he had lost his sight, was navigating mobility issues, and required extra care and patience, Chris went above and beyond every single day. She didn’t just walk him, but she helped take care of him when we couldn't be home. She gently guided him through his blind phase, patiently let him sniff to his heart’s content, and always made sure he felt safe and supported. When he could no longer handle stairs, she adapted her routine without hesitation. She even applied his eye drops with care and precision, something that can be tricky even for us! One of the things we loved most was how thoughtful Chris was about keeping us connected during their walks. She sent frequent updates and the sweetest photos that always brought a smile to our faces. Chris treated our Yorkie like family, and we are forever grateful for the love, compassion, and dedication she showed him in his golden years. We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're looking for someone who truly cares, look no further than Chris!
