Your pet is my new best friend

Pet care experience

I have spent almost my entire life with dogs and cats around. Growing up my family always had a dog, and we have had several cats. I also have become my family and friends dog sitter. If anyone I know goes on a trip, they call me to look after their pets. I’ve been dog sitting that way for the last 14 years. I have experience with special need dogs and giving medication. I’ve worked with a deaf dog, a diabetic dog, and several dogs prone to seizures. I’m experienced in giving oral and injectable medications to dogs. Currently one of the dogs I live with is prone to seizures and with her I’ve gained a lot of experience handling those situations with medications, clean up, and caring for the dog as they go through the stages immediately after having a seizure. I love dogs, I’ve never met a dog that I haven’t liked and that hasn’t liked me. I do everything asked of me caring for a dog and more because I want them to be happy and calm while they realize their people are gone for a little while. I’m good at helping them calm down and get back to “normal” fairly quickly so they too can have a nice vacation away from their owners.

We have known Chris for nearly 20 years, since he was a kid in elementary school. Although we don't currently have a pup, Chris was the one we would turn to when we needed someone to take care of our two dogs and our house when we were gone on long trips. He was able to handle both our easy-going Shepherd as well as our more belligerent/tenacious/snobby Corgi. We also know that he has experience dealing with animals with medical issues so we wouldn't hesitate to have him care for a dog that requires regular medications too.

Chris, who was highly recommended by a coworker, has been our dog sitter for many years. We always feel at ease leaving on vacations, knowing Chris is very trustworthy, responsible and dependable. He is eager to help for a short time or for our week long vacations. Our dog loves Chris and hanging out with him. The dog follows him around constantly and Chris even takes time to take him to the park to play. With our dog on seizure medication four times each day, we need a reliable person and feel this is Chris! We would recommend him to anyone!
