Dogs are People, Too
Pet care experience
My aim is to give dogs the attention and care they need. For dog walks, our speed is entirely up to the dog. Do they want to jog/run? Let's run. Do they want to stop and sniff every single tree and mailbox post? Not a problem either. I always come with my dog bowls and fresh cold water to keep the dogs hydrated on these summer days. For dog visits, I'll make sure they spend enough time outside to go potty, while keeping a mindful eye on the weather and heat the dog experiences. Indoors, I'll make sure they have enough to eat/drink/stay cool, at the owner's discretion. For overnight stays, I'll do everything I can to keep the dog relaxed. I've had a dog since I was 10 years old, and have gone on more walks than I can count. I currently have two dogs who I work diligently with to ensure they can beat the summer heat. I love dogs, and have volunteered at a dog animal shelter for the better part of a year, so I am familiar with approaching dogs that may be shy with strangers. I have recently moved here from Michigan and am working with dogs until I can get my career started. Any questions, just ask!
Reviews
Christopher eased me through my first time with Rover and Slim obviously loved her new friend. I am more than please and consider Christopher my new puppy helper whenever he is available!
Christopher was amazing! I asked him to walk my dog extremely last minute when I got stranded in the mountains with no backup plan. He was at my house within 1/2 hour and took wonderful care of my dog, even jumping through unexpected apartment loopholes due to the lack of pre-planning. THANK YOU CHRISTOPHER!
Highly recommended, Chris was amazing and was very sad to see him go. He would walk Duke and Rascal on a routine basis and never had an issue. He always provided the pups with water and a great walk around the park. We wish him all the best of luck on his new adventures.
Chris is great! Always takes Sylvie on long walks, sometimes going over the 30 minutes. Keeps her hydrated and sends a lot of pictures!

What do they enjoy? Are there particular spots the dog likes/doesn't like to be pet? What are they like to walk? How do they handle seeing other dogs and other people while on a walk? What relaxes your dog?
A typical day
This can be up to the owner's discretion if they know the pet enjoys a particular route. Otherwise, I'll use Google Maps to find a perfect low-traffic area for a 30-minute roundtrip walk.
