My partner Jia works from home so your pet will not be alone for long during the day. Because she works from home, her schedule is more flexible for potty breaks, drop-offs, and pick-ups.

Information Christopher H. would like to know about your pet

Please feel free to let us know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that we can account for - we will do our best to accommodate! Since we have neighbors, we’d appreciate it if your dog doesn’t bark much at outside sounds :)

A typical day

We love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We will play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore a big park near our apartment complex.

Christopher H.'s Neighborhood

Just a young couple who loves dogs!

Pet care experience

Chris has spent his whole life taking care of dogs sometimes up to 4 at a time. Ranging from puppies to old guys who just can’t quite make it up those stairs. My partner Jia also loves dog and has had various dogs around growing up.

Really appreciated Christopher and his partner's care of Tuna. We got great updates with pictures and a video including that she'd really bonded with them. She seemed totally happy and well taken care of when we picked her up. Thank you!

Christopher and his wife did a wonderful job watching my Australian Shepherd. I appreciate the daily updates with pictures. She was well loved and cared for. Would book again.

Chris was great with Furbo and took him out to on a hike and to a dog park. Flexible with times and very communicative!

Chris and his wife were absolutely incredible while watching our dog for a week. From the very beginning, they made him feel immediately comfortable, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They consistently sent lots of photos and updates, which we truly appreciated and it made us feel like we were still connected to him the whole time. They really went above and beyond, taking him to the park, on walks, and spending quality time cuddling and caring for him like he was their own. It’s clear how much they genuinely love animals. This was hands down the best experience we’ve had with a sitter. We will always look to hire Chris and his wife again in the future and can’t recommend them highly enough!
