Safety, trust & environment

My backyard is fenced-in, with plenty of space to hang out and play. I'm very hands-on and will never let them out of my sight. I'm used to walking anxious or reactive dogs, so I take special care to avoid potentially troublesome situations (by using treats/toys as distractions or providing distance from triggers). You can also trust that I'm strong enough to handle your dog if they like to pull on a leash.

Pet care experience

I've had pets all my life, so I know how to provide the best kind of care for your buddy. I lead with love and patience. My strengths are my ability to connect no matter the temperament. I've spent the last 10 years working with children and diverse populations, so I'm used to trying different approaches to find what best suits a particular situation.

Christopher was fantastic! He took such great care of our dogs and made the whole experience completely stress-free. He was incredibly communicative throughout their stay, sending daily updates and photos so we always knew how Kya and Roo were doing. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well loved. We would absolutely book with Christopher again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive dog sitter!

My dog always has such a great time with Chris, who always seems to be down to throw the ball for endless games of fetch!
