About Christopher D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I love to spend time with my furry friends, so most of my time is devoted to their care and attention. I generally prefer to keep them close by and I tend to go by their schedule.
Home
Information Christopher D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog enjoys a quick-paced walk or is more likely to mosey along at a slower pace. Can they be off leash? Does your dog like to chase balls or play tug? Is your cat more of a chaser or a cuddler?
A typical day
For dogs, I love to take them outside for nature adventures when the weather cooperates. When it’s cold and wet outside, or if the pet prefers, we can stay cozy inside. My favorite cat game is a good ol’ string toy on a stick! For all animals, especially the older ones, cuddling is the best.

Pet care experience
I’ve personally raised multiple cats since 2001, four have lived with me their entire lives. My dog, who passed away in 2023, was rescued as a puppy and lived to be 15. He had an amazing life full of adventure including backcountry hiking. I love hiking with dogs, and offer that to clients still. A close friend also had a pet sitting business and I helped out for several years. Additionally, I provide freelance pet care for friends and neighbors to care for their furry companions.

Reviews
Garlic had a great day with Christopher! Excited for them to hang out again.
Christopher genuinely cares for my fur babies as much as I do; and it's clearly reflected in how the puppers stick to him like glue. AND his dog photography is better than any professional I've seen. I absolutely cannot wait until we get the chance to have them stay with him again. The dogs will protest otherwise.
Rufus has a great time getting outdoors with Christopher
Christopher was great! He was easy to communicate with and gave Change lots of great walks and burned out a lot of his energy. Would definitely recommend and book with him again when in Portland.
