Love for all animals

Pet care experience

I’ve personally raised multiple cats since 2001, four have lived with me their entire lives. My dog, who recently passed away, 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. I've provided freelance pet care for several years, and regularly get requests from friends to care for their fury friends.

Christopher not only cares for my kitty as if she was his own, he also pays attention to details and leaves my home tidy. Highly recommended!

Christopher was an excellent cat sitter! He was very prompt and communicative and took the BEST pictures of our cats. Would definitely recommend him!

Our nervous dog had an amazing day with Christopher while we hosted a party. She had several long walks and lots of rest time before coming home exhausted. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our girlie

Let me know if your dog enjoys a quick-paced walk or is more likely to mosey along at a slower pace. Does your dog like to chase balls in the park or play tug?
