Pet care experience

Software engineer who loves animals

Always been an animal person. Great with any kind, even the naughty ones :) I have one dogs myself so I know what it's like to need help now and then. I also know what it's like to trust someone with your world. Animals are after all family and not just our pets. I'm doing this because I wanted to see what it's like and to meet some cute pups! Also to help afford gas lol Hope to meet you!

Chris was great with our dog, Charlie. Chris was responsive to my messages, and flexible with my schedule. Charlie liked Chris immediately, and was happy when we picked him up. Definitely recommend!

Schedule

With my own dog, Cher, pet care is already part of my routine. Before booking, we can go over your pet’s schedule and the care you need to find times that work for both of us. I work at the at Apple Campus near where I live and come home daily at lunch to take yours along w mine to the nearby dog park. I try not to let even my own go much longer than 4 hours without a potty break to set you at ease :) I get it

Safety, trust & environment

Good care starts with understanding your pet’s routine. Feeding instructions, leash habits, house rules, and emergency contacts are all helpful details to discuss beforehand so we can make a safe, comfortable plan for your pet.

Pets

A typical day

A typical visit could include a walk with plenty of sniffing time, play with favorite toys, and time to relax. Activities would depend on your pet’s age, energy, and usual routine, with room for whatever makes them happiest. Lots of nearby dog park time though if your baby enjoys that.
