Activity welcome, downtown, caring

Pet care experience

Hello! My names Chris, I'm 19 and a second year university student. I actively enjoy dogs, and while I haven't had too much experience on sitting them I hope to gain some here! My experience that I do have is watching an elderly dog (I believe she was 14) with a friend for a few days a week for about 2 weeks. She required oral medication, and special care with walking up/down stairs. Well that and playing with my friends dogs. I try to stay playful but tender with all dogs. Currently in school for biology and I love learning about animal behavior, and I love picking up on what an animal wants and why it's acting the way it does. Whether active or lazy I can adapt to the dog's lifestyle, and honestly I hope to find some dogs that will allow me to be more active!

Christopher helped us look after Jazz for a period of 9 days. He was responsive, and accomodating. It was nice when he sent us some pictures of Jazz during her stay, and I felt very comfortable leaving her with him. I would not hesitate to use his service again.

Christopher loves all animals, especially dogs. He is great with them and is very gentle, loving and patient. No matter what kind of dog you have, Christopher would give it the best care possible.

Information Christopher H. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know rough weight/size, activity level (all levels are welcome!), and special needs! Time of medication if required, general time that they are used to going on walks (and maybe sleeping if known) and feeding times are important. Finally snacks! I would like to know what snacks, if any, you give your dog. I wouldn't give anything other than what you say so as to not interfere with their diet. I do have to say big dogs are my favourite, but all dogs are great!

A typical day

I live in a quieter area so generally around that area/down a little further into the more park-y areas. If a dog needs to be exposed to more louder/public areas for any reason walks downtown are easy too. Activities vary on if thee owner has any toys that they would like to bring/allow me to use, otherwise general fetch, walks, runs, petting, tugging, and the sort is encouraged.
