Pet care experience

Hi I'm Chris, the animal wiz!

I love pretty much all animals, I grew up in the country with cats, chickens & rabits. I've raised & trained two dogs from puppyhood into their senior years, and I'm currently dad/step-dad to three cats. I've watched my friends dogs, which range from tiny & nervous to big & boisterous, there are few puppers & kitters I cannot handle. I lead with a calm, assertive demeanor, respecting boundaries & anxieties, while ensuring they receive the care they need.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I can tailor the care provided to your pet with whatever reasonable accomodations they need. Got an 80lbs lab that won't walk down the stairs? I'll cary him! Got a lil' yapper that hates the cat in the window down the street? We won't walk there! I'm happy to work with you and your babies to make you confident they're in good hands. A previous client had me walk their 80lb & 120lb reactive rescue dogs. While they gave me a good workout every time, I was able to handle every reaction & pull to ensure everyone's safety (I always wore shoes with extra grip when walking them, for good measure).

Chris is a patient person. He treats pets in a very kind manner and is attentive. When taking his own dogs for a walk he makes sure that they get enough exercise and that they engage safely with other dogs. I have entrusted Chris with my own dogs and they always come back happy and well rested. I highly recommend Chris to anyone that needs help in caring for their pet.

Chris has taken care of my antisocial pets and they quickly warmed up to him. He took great care to keep them on their routine and happy! He is absolutely great with any kinds of animals.

Christopher is trusted, experienced, and is my go-to caretaker for all my pet needs. He is exceptionally responsive, dependable, and most of all my pets seem to enjoy his company. I have and will continue to recommend Christopher to other pet owners.

I am very adaptable in my caring style, and will respect their boundaries & special needs. I've given both cats & dogs different types of meds, using whichever method works best. As long as it's communicated, I will provide the special care/attention they need.
