Highlights
Pet care experience
10 acre private woods, animal lover
I have 10 acres of private woodland for dog walking. I've taken care of all shapes/sizes and ages of dogs from puppies to old dogs that struggle to walk. My favourite dog is a labrador. On the cat front, my family have always had bengals who you need to be a bit of a mind reader to handle correctly/affectionately. My mum has ran a vet practice down in england for >25 years so I've spent a lot of time with animals growing up.
Cat care experience
christopher also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will always make sure that all windows and doors are secured so no little escape artists on my watch! And that Collars/harnesses are secured to minimise the risk of slipping collars.
Ratings and reviews
Christopher did a wonderful job, looking after our two dogs for the day at our home. He kept us updated with messages and photos. We will certainly use his services again, as we found him to be a delightful and trustworthy young man .
Christopher was amazing with Banjo. He was thoughtful and trustworthy. He kept us updated with pictures and messages and she really took to him! Thank you so much for all your help and we will definitely book again next time we go away!
Great job by Christopher. Quick response to booking request, good pics of the walk and nice updates about what the pooch got up to. No hassle or stress.
We booked Chris to look after our dog Goldie, whilst we were away on holiday for 10 days. This is the first time we have had someone stay in our house looking after our dog whilst away. We didn't really know what to expect and were quite hesitant about it. However, we should not have had any concerns whatsoever. Chris was fantastic. He kept us up to date with Goldie whilst we were away sending photos of Goldie having the time of her life whilst we were away, she too was having a holiday, with new exciting walks! Chris went above and beyond, and took really good care of Goldie, he even watered our tomato plants and hoovered up the dog hair before we came oome If anyone is thinking about putting their dog in a kennel, this is definitely a better option, your dog gets to stay at home in a familiar place. I would highly recommend Chris, knowing he takes great care of your pets whilst away. We will definitely be booking again on our next holiday.
Christopher did an good job looking after my cat dex , even when dex got not well nothing was to much trouble
Christopher was absolutely amazing, Bijoux, Minnie and Bruce loved him. He looked after the house hoovered and communicated well. Being able to go away and leave family into strangers care is daunting. Christopher is a true gem, we will be inviting him back when he is available.
