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
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.
I highly recommend Christopher! He was an immediate hit with our dog, and took great care of her, including taking her for a walk and playing and making sure she had a sleep. He's very respectful of how we work with our dog, and of our property, and we'll be booking him again!
Great with awkward pets. Henry (cat) warmed up to him pretty quickly. Will sit with cats for awhile and give them plenty of attention/pets. Keeps place tidy, and will stay in contact with plenty of photos. Happy to do a meet & greet beforehand. Would hire again .

Schedule
I work from home full time as a software engineer and have my own car (Honda CRV so plenty of space), and have a fairly flexible schedule so can accommodate short notice requests.
