Safety, trust & environment

At home, I pay attention to the dogs signals and adjust accordingly - are they happy? Nervous? Thirsty? Whining? I speak pretty good dog by listening. During walks, I never allow strangers, especially children, to approach someone’s dog I am in control of who isn’t mine.

Pet care experience

Hey! My name is Chris… also known as Cherry’s Dad. I am very enthusiastic about people’s pets, have had dogs my entire life and will continue to be a dog person forever and ever. Fun fact: my mom owns a dog grooming shop in LA! I’ve worked a lot in the shop and have handled literally hundreds of pet dogs.

Chris was great with Bullet. He picked and dropped her off with my friend and my friend said bullet was a happy camper when she got home. Full spirits, which means she had a good time. Thank you Chris and family for taking her on short notice and accommodating and communicating well!

Chris was excellent. Daily updates, great photos, and went above and beyond without being asked. House was spotless, and our dogs were happy.....that says everything. We’ll definitely hire him again.

Chris has been great with my rescue Chihuahua since the first walk! She can be a little shy but they bonded right away. He has walked and also helped care for her during trips out of town. He's reliable and never rushes. I don't trust most people outside of family with my dog, 10/10 recommend.
