Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life! I grew up with 4 labs split across my parents houses with numerous pets throughout my lifetime. We’ve named our dogs after ski terminology my entire life and my last dog, Alta, sadly passed away 2 years ago from Cancer 2 weeks before I moved to California. I grew up in the Midwest, studying undergrad at Miami University where Alta tagged along. Traveled and have lived in Chicago and Cleveland before moving to California. I’ve trained 4 dogs throughout my lifetime, all 40+ pounds and have been a cat dad for 1.5 years after college. I am a very genuine guy who has a huge heart for pets. I have a 3 bedroom house that has 3 floors, with 2 back patio’s and a larger than normal master bedroom with tons of playable area throughout the house. The upstairs is carpeted and wood floors on the main level. I live 4 minute walk from sunset park and am an avid runner. Very open to walks/jogs/runs all the time! I feel like I’ve been through it all with my dogs over the years and ensure to keep owners updated. I do this for the love of pets, not the money. One day, I’ll have the heart to get my own again. Until then, let them have fun on walks with me!
Reviews
Chris's love for animals can best be detailed by his relationship with his black lab. I've never seen a better connected pet and owner. Even as a dog in her middle teens, she was always incredibly excited when he came back home. He was always willing to go the extra mile for her. Chris is also a fantastic cat uncle and loves to engage in active play with cats (same with dogs, too).
I have the utmost confidence in Christopher as a pet caregiver! His affection and dedication towards animals is a main component of his character. Chris has lovingly cared for our two cats since they were kittens. Chris has always been consistent, trustworthy, and thoughtful when he is with our kitties! I have also seen Chris's equal attentiveness, patience, and compassion in caring for dogs. Chris goes above and beyond as a pet caregiver!
Christopher is a phenomenal pet owner and pet caregiver! I lived with Christopher and his Labrador for a year, and she was the most well-cared for pup I’ve ever seen. He is attentive, responsible, and I would definitely trust him with my pet.
Chris is the dog whisperer! He loves dogs and they absolutely love him back. He is a trusted pet sitter for friends and family and a loved former dog dad to a since passed black lab. Having taken care of his own pup for years he is well equipped to responsibly and lovingly watch out for your pups. He will not only take great care of your pups but give them so much fun, love, and attention. He is gentle, kind and patient with animals and an experienced dog owner/caretaker. You can count on Chris to give your pets their best experience while away!

Hopefully my care has come out above! Door is always closed in the house and all doors have a screen as extra protection. I promise your pet is in great hands. I supply lots of love and lots of exercise (if wanted). I live next to a park, where we can have loads of fun. I have 2 ring devices and have never had a safety incident near the house. Open for any need/discussion! See you soon!
Information Christopher C. would like to know about your pet
Just always nice to know any needs on walks, if they are fond of other people/dogs! If they need fed at all outside of norm hours. What their active style is. If they love belly rubs or butt scratches more. If they are okay on stairs/should mine be blocked off.
A typical day
I love to do fun activities with dogs! We will walk/run/jog depending on your preference. Will play in the park and practice obedience training throughout. Plenty of smells to be had on our walks!

Availability
I work from home so I am very adaptive to the need of the pets. I do workout once a day for 1-1.5 hours in the evening. Besides that, I am a morning person who has no problem waking up to the need of the pet. Your pet rules are my pet rules, I will never overstep!
