Christopher can care for
Availability
You've probably seen me walking with a dog in your neighborhood or at local dog friendly venues. The dogs who walk with me are all special in their own way with behaviors or reactions that require a little patience and understanding. So, you won't see me trying to manage five or six dogs at a time; just one.

Safety, trust & environment
If one of the dogs in my care requires medication, I'll administer an oral med but I will not administer injectable medications or fluids. I'll always make sure when dropping off a dog that there is fresh water and, if necessary, make sure that the crate is clean & dry.
Information Christopher A. would like to know about your pet
- IMPORTANT: Since we may drive to a destination for fun & adventure, I must know that your dog is up-to-date on rabies vaccinations as well as vaccines for socializing & sharing water bowls: Canine Influenza Vaccination (CIV). - If we hike on trails your dog must have a Leptospirosis vaccination to protect against disease from wildlife. - Is your dog leash reactive toward other dogs? - Does your dog meet other dogs cautiously or excitedly? - Is your dog treat motivated or are there treats that your dog cannot have? - How does your dog behave while riding in a car?
A typical day
I'm glad to follow your request regarding commands that your dog responds to however, I am not a trainer. Your dog and I will walk in your neighborhood or other local dog friendly venue at a pace that your dog dictates, stopping as often as necessary to smell the roses. Or, if your dog prefers, we'll just hang out and play and just keep each other company.

Pet care experience
I am not a trainer. However, I've been in the pet care field for more than a decade. My senior dog taught me a lot about her needs and abilities as she aged. So I understand that it isn't just about the walk but about communication, patience & companionship, too.
Cat care experience
Christopher also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
