Pet care experience
I grew up on a farm in Alaska. We had horses, chickens, cats and dogs so I've been around animals my entire life. I believe pets are special additions to a house; they are part of what makes a house a home. As a part of the family, they need to be cared for well; they need the love and attention of caring individual who helps maintain their wellness (walking, feeding, playtime). Although I love all animals, big dogs are my favorite. After I finish school I want a South African Boerboel (unfortunately, right now I don't have the space to house him). So, that's my interest in animals. About me: I'm a hard working but laid back person. I love my family, friends and my church. My favorite things to do are hiking, camping, stargazing, cooking, swing dancing and rock climbing. At the end of the day, what describes me is that I love people and the things that are important to them are important to me. If you'd like to meet up, I'd be happy to grab coffee.

Chris is fabulous to work with! Anytime I reach out, he's always responsive and takes great care of Sam. I could easily refer him to any friend in need of pet care!
Christopher watched my lab/great dane mix and my 2 cats. He did an AMAZING job!! Before I left we went over the important details about taking care of my pets ( i.e. feeding, bathroom breaks, activity). He was very attentive and respectful of all that that I asked. He asked great questions about what I wanted and didn't want to ensure that he properly cared for my fur babies. He sent me texts with updates on how they were doing and pictures. He watched my animals for a week and I could sure tell that they had a wonderful time with him when I had gotten home. I've had previous times where my poor pets weren't taken care of while I was away :( I would definitely recommend Chris if you are looking for an pet loving, dedicated, compassionate person to care for your animals while away. He was flexible and accommodating to my schedule and quick to respond.
I had Christopher watch my 3 dogs ( large dogs) while my wife and I were out of town. This was the first time we'd ever had a stranger watch our dogs (we just moved to TN from AK and normally had family watch our dogs). We were a little nervous at first, but were thoroughly impressed with Christopher! He took EXCELLENT care of our dogs! He put us at ease by keeping us updated on how the dogs were doing and sent us pictures. He followed all that we asked of him, took them to parks and out walking. I would hands down trust him with my dogs again!
Chris has lived with us during the last year and has helped out tremendously with our 3 pets, a 4 year-old Sheltie, 7 year-old cat, and 1 year-old kitten. In fact, he picked out the kitten and took lots of care of her when she was tiny. Our Sheltie often needs to be walked late at night and Chris is always glad to do that or any other chores I give him. In addition, our cats are on different prescriptions of canned food that has to be kept separate and he helps with that. In addition to day-to-day living, we have left Chris with our animals while we traveled on several occasions and he has done a fabulous job. Chris is very conscientious, completely honest, reliable, and resourceful. Our pets love him as do we.

As I wrote above,although Rotweilers and Boerboels are my favorite, I think all dogs are great!

I love to go to the parks around Nashville. If your neighborhood is dog-walking friendly, I'd be happy to walk and play with them there.
