Highlights
Pet care experience
High-Energy Dogs Welcome
I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way.

Ratings and reviews
Honey had a wonderful stay with Chris and Olive! He was responsive, kept me updated throughout her visit, and was very informative about their plans and activities. Honey got plenty of exercise with walks and playdates. It was clear she was well cared for and having a great time. Honey even came home freshly bathed after rolling in mud 😄 She can't wait to come back to hang with Chris and Olive in July.
Christopher was simply great! Super easy to work with, took wonderful care of my home during his house sit, and was even moreamazing with Benjamin (pretty sure he would have traded me in for Christopher). Will definitely book again.
Christopher is the best! Very kind and friendly! Nala always comes home happy. He always sends pictures which is awesome. I would highly recommend him!
Perry had a great time with Christopher! He got lots of activity, and Christopher’s love of dogs really comes through!
I can't say enough good things about Chris. He was very attentive with Jack and sent daily updates and videos and taking him on really nice and long walks with his own dog Olive who I was nervous that my dog would not get along with because he is old and can be a bit ornery. However they got along great. I would definitely rebook with Chris in the future.
Great sitter. You can't go wrong with Chris

Schedule
Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.
