Pet care experience

Reliable, loving pet care

Pets are family, and shy or sassy, chatty or quiet, I love them all and treat them like my own. I want to make sure you can travel with complete peace of mind knowing they're being cuddled and cared for while you're away. I don't just "check in", I spend time with your fuzzy family member. Every visit is about your pet feeling cared for, offering cuddles, playtime, and gentle reassurance. I love to get to know their unique personalities and needs, and I'm proud that my patience and affection help even shy or anxious pets feel safe and happy during my visits. I have experience with all ages and temperaments of cats & dogs. Handling specific medical needs is no problem, since I'm the owner of a sweet cat with asthma! I'm skilled and comfortable administering various medications, including puffers. Plus, if you need a little green-thumb help, your plants will be cared for too.

Another great visit with Chris! Thanks for the pictures and for being so patient with Mack’s tummy problems.

Thank you so much to Christopher for watching our cats again. I loved all the updates we got and they were in great spirits when we got home. I was shocked by how much our shy girl warmed up over the course of the weekend. Thanks for being so good to her! <3

Chris has been extremely punctual and reliable when we've asked them to look after our two dogs for evenings that we've out of town! Even last minute they've been an amazing resource, and we get cute pictures while we're away and our dogs are always having a blast. We're lucky to have found them.

Christopher has cared for our cats many times, and I trust them completely to provide attentive and thoughtful care. Honestly, I think our cats get more love and attention when Christopher is here than when it’s just me and my husband! Christopher is so in tune with our cats’ unique personalities and needs—whether it’s our high-energy boy who loves to wander our backyard endlessly with Christopher, or our very shy girl who warmed up to them right away (she rarely trusts anyone new). We always get regular updates while Christopher is watching them, which we deeply appreciate. It’s clear from the updates that Christopher genuinely enjoys spending time with our pets and celebrates them for who they are, going above and beyond just feeding and basic care. I always feel completely at ease knowing our cats are with Christopher. With over 15 years of experience as a cat parent themself, plus regularly caring for friends’ dogs, Christopher brings both experience and heart to pet care. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Pets

A typical day

I like to approach each day based on what the critter I'm caring for needs. If your pup loves to get outside, we'll go for walks and hang in the backyard. If your kitty is a couch potato, I'll snuggle in some fuzzy blankets. At the end of the day it's all about what they want to feel happy and safe!
