Safe, Reliable Dog Care

Pet care experience

Hey, I’m Chappy! Christopher is my legal name… I specialize in walking / caring for large dogs and working breeds, but am happy to work with all breeds and sizes. I have worked with high-energy, reactive, less than sociable dogs too, giving them the physical and metal fulfillment they need. I personally have two larger dogs, Count (German Shepherd Husky mix, 110lbs) and Bentley (German Shepherd Dutch Shepherd mix, 80lbs). I’ve also worked with a range of breeds from pugs to golden retrievers to Alsatian shepherds to American bull dogs.

From working with Chris, not only is he an attentive and affectionate caregiver to my dogs, he makes sure my pets are truly part of the family. He has extensive knowledge of training highly reactive breeds, he knows when dogs are playing versus getting potentially aggressive, and he also knows how to talk to other dog owners to make the environment welcoming and safe for all. I feel more than comfortable leaving my dogs at his home. I know my furry babies are in great hands!

Christopher (Chappy) was great with our pup! He really knows how to care for dogs, make them feel comfortable, and fulfill their needs. They loved hiking and swimming too!

Safety, trust & environment

We live on roughly 8 acres in Sonoma County, so there is plenty of room at our home for dogs to run and explore. I have two friendly German Shepherd mix dogs that love having friends over. We also have a secure deck that the dogs loving sunbathing on and watching the world go by. I can crate your dog, if need be (we have a crate / room for crates), along with the ability to keep dogs separate if need be. Should your dog use a e-collar of any sort, I’m trained in properly using them, as both of my dogs are trained to them. If your dog loves to hike, we regularly go for hikes on the trails around Sonoma County, or to Dillon Beach to run around off leash.

Information Christopher C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, or quirks that need extra attention or care. I’m more than happy to accommodate if need be.

A typical day

We often run around and explore on the roughly eight acres we live on. There’s lots to sniff and a short hiking trail for the dogs to run on. We also regularly go for hikes on the dog friendly trails around Sonoma County, walks on the walking trails like Spring Lake, or headed out to the coast if it’s warm inland and run around on the beach at Dillon Beach. If there’s anything in particular your pup loves to do, let me know and we can certainly try and do that too!
