A Walk A Day Keeps the Vet Away!

Hi, I'm Christopher! I grew up with 2 dogs and I currently have a morkie named Theo. I enjoy traveling and seeing live music on my off time. I've been walking dogs for the past 13 years now in Chicago and I enjoy every minute of it! I have worked for a few different companies over the past 6 years. I'm finally ready to work for myself with the help from Rover. I have experience walking many different breeds, big and small! I also have experience pet sitting. I will always provide the owner with a daily review of how the walk went and a few pictures. If your dog has any special needs I would be more than happy to help with that as well. I would love to meet your furry pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I'll treat your dog as if it were my own. I'll make sure your dog doesn't eat anything off the ground when I'm walking him/her. Also I'll make sure to avoid other dogs unless the owner says otherwise. I try to prevent conflicts at all cost.

Christopher has been great with our dog so far! He leaves thorough reviews and always makes sure he has enough water, which is very important given how hot Chicago gets in the summer. You can tell he loves dogs from the way he cares for them. He was also willing to come to meet our pup for a meet and greet prior to the walks which we very much appreciated. Looking forward to keeping Christopher on board as a stellar dog walker.

Christopher was great! Loki had a blast on his walk and Christopher was super nice and really responsive via text which made the entire experience seemless and stress free!

It is with pleasure that I write this testimonial on behalf of Christopher and his dog walking and pet sitting services. Chris is a wonderful individual who conducts himself in a friendly and professional manner and has proven to be both a friend and guide in the care of my dog Corleone. I first met Chris in 2013 when I needed help walking my new puppy, Corleone (Corle). Being an elementary school teacher, I knew that meant that Corle would be in need of a walker during the day. He has proved to be an excellent, understanding person who helped not only Corle become a great city dog, but me as well. He is dependable, trustworthy and caring. The first time Chris came to my house to meet Corle, I knew he had a special connection with animals. Although it's always difficult to leave the house in the morning, knowing that Chris will be visiting Corle and giving him love and attention during the day gives me peace of mind. He always goes above and beyond. 10/10 recommend Chris as a loving dog caregiver!

Chris has been my dog walker for the last 4.5 years, walking my dog Bubba between 4-5 days/week depending on my schedule. He’s been there through thick and thin, good weather and bad, through my dogs anxiety, and he’s been consistent and amazing. When Bubba was a puppy, I used a dog walking service (before being referred to Chris through a friend) and they were pretty unreliable - I spent most of my time on logistics and organizing. With Chris, I always knew he’d be there, he was flexible to my schedule, and I knew Bubba enjoyed the time with him. He’s felt like part of the fam! I also referred him to my brother when they got a pup 2.5 years ago and needed daily walks when they were at work and I know they also had the same positive experience. Thank you so much, Chris!! You’ve been so good to us through the years!!

I've known Chris for over 15 years as I went to grade school with him and we have both lived in Chicago for while now. I have had him come watch and let out my own dogs while I go on vacations with my wife and has always know my animals will get the best love and attention possible from Chris. He has a great resume of walking/working with animals over the years of living in Chicago. He would be a great addition to any team.

I want to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs. I want to know if there are any allergies the dog may have. I want to know if your dog has any health issues that would require me to attend too.
