About Christopher B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Being the owner of a feisty chihuahua and having cared for larger but equally rambunctious dogs, I can work well under pressure to keep a watchful eye on any and all pets in the home as well as maintain an awareness of open windows/doors and other security concerns. I know how to maintain a healthy balance between play and gentle guidance - especially when outdoors or in the vicinity of other animals.
Information Christopher B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any and all oral and topical medications your pets might need while they're in my care. I am always excited to hear, in as much detail as possible, the ins and outs of your pets daily routines, preferences, and personality. Please also feel free to share with me any behaviors and medical concerns that I should keep an eye on.
A typical day
I like to tailor my time with your pet to what best fits their needs, preferences, and established routines. From getting their energy out with a run or stimulating their mind with enrichment toys, I always make sure to give your pets the in-depth one-on-one attention they need. A typical day also includes the less fun parts like administering medication with great care!

Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Christopher, and I've been caring for animals for most of my life. I grew up with my family's Chihuahua and have been pet sitting and dog walking for family and friends since I was 15 years old. I completed a Veterinary Assistant course at a nearby college and am trained in both dog and cat CPR and first aid. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including large dogs, high energy dogs, and senior cats and dogs that need a little extra patience and attention. I'm passionate about providing more than just the basics of pet care. I believe pets thrive when they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, enrichment, and individualized attention. I also place a strong emphasis on reading and respecting each animal's body language so that they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking partner, a dependable sitter, or someone to provide attentive care while you're away, I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind and ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for!
Reviews
Christopher took wonderful care of my dogs while I was away. He asked thoughtful questions upfront so I felt confident they were in good hands, and he sent regular updates that put my mind at ease. When one of my pups got unexpectedly sick, he handled it calmly, cleaned everything thoroughly, and left the space spotless. That kind of care and responsibility means so much. I’ll absolutely be booking with him again!
Christopher came through for us at the last minute to take care of my grandparents' cat, Peabody, and we couldn't be more grateful. He was quick to respond and even made time for a meet and greet beforehand. My grandparents loved the photos and updates he sent throughout, and it was clear Peabody warmed up to him fast, shy as he is! Seeing him curled up on Christopher's lap said it all. We'll definitely be booking with him again.
