About Christopher C.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety is my top priority. On walks, I always use secure leashes, stay aware of my surroundings, and avoid unsafe situations — especially around traffic and other dogs. I follow all care instructions closely, including preferred routes, pacing, and any special needs. In your home, I’m respectful, careful, and detail-oriented. I double-check doors, collars, and leashes, and I provide updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I focus on creating a calm, positive experience every time.
Information Christopher C. would like to know about your pet
I like to know about your dog’s energy level, leash behavior, and any triggers (such as other dogs, bikes, or crowds). Please let me know if your dog has any medical needs, dietary restrictions, or mobility limitations. I also appreciate knowing their preferred walking pace, favorite routes, and any commands or routines they’re used to. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your dog has a safe, comfortable, and fun experience.
A typical day
Living right next to the beach gives me great options for fun and enriching walks. I can take dogs on scenic walks along the beach path or nearby parks for fresh air and mental stimulation. For higher-energy dogs, I’m happy to incorporate light jogging or longer, faster-paced walks to help them burn off extra energy. For calmer or senior dogs, I keep things relaxed and enjoyable at their pace. Every walk is tailored to what your dog enjoys most.

Pet care experience
I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family for years, handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and basic routines. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, which helps dogs feel comfortable — especially in busy, urban environments. I’m confident walking dogs of different sizes and energy levels, from high-energy pups who need a solid run by the beach to senior dogs who prefer a slower pace. I pay close attention to leash manners, surroundings, and each dog’s unique personality. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, exercised, and happy. I genuinely enjoy being outside, staying active, and spending time with dogs. Dog walking is something I look forward to, not just a side job, and I love helping dogs get the exercise and attention they need.
Reviews
Christopher went above and beyond!! He was super reliable and a delight to work with.
Chris was really great with our pup! She was immediately drawn to him and quickly got comfortable with him walking her and even holding her.
Chris took care of my cat Carmela for a week and was truly fantastic! He was super responsive, sent regular updates, and clearly gave her a lot of attention and care. It was obvious she felt comfortable with him, which gave me and my boyfriend peace of mind while we were away. There’s no doubt I’d trust Chris to catsit Carm again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter. Thanks, Chris!
Chris is one of those people dogs instantly feel comfortable around. He’s gentle, thoughtful, and always goes the extra mile to make sure each dog is happy and taken care of. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, and caring sitter! 😊
