Availability
I work remotely in IT for a nonprofit organization, which gives me a very flexible weekday schedule. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy having some furry company during the week. Whether that means a midday walk to break up my workday or a fuzzy companion nearby while I’m at my desk. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to structure my schedule around walks, feeding times, medication needs, or check-ins. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can expect consistent updates while you’re away.

About Christopher K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your routines and instructions carefully. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, walking routines, and house rules closely so your pet’s world feels as consistent and familiar as possible while you’re away. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident everything is going smoothly. If your pet stays in my home, their comfort and safety are my top priorities. They will have their own dedicated space in my finished basement office that is clean, hazard-free, and separate from my cats. This allows visiting pets to relax without feeling overwhelmed, and ensures everyone stays safe and stress-free. The space includes a comfortable couch just for them, plenty of room to stretch out, and a calm environment away from household noise. I’m home during the day, so they’ll receive regular supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention, balanced with quiet time to rest.

Information Christopher K. would like to know about your pet
Before confirming bookings, I like to learn a little about each pet so I can make sure it’s a great fit. Could you tell me about their personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, activity needs, and any medical or behavioral needs? Most important of all, I need to know if they have ever bitten or snapped at a person, they guard their food or toys, if they have separation anxiety, and if they're house trained.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I like to tailor activities to their personality, energy level, and comfort. Some pets want lots of play and adventure, while others are happiest with a calm environment and a cozy place to nap. For active pets, I’m happy to do walks, playtime with toys, and games that help them burn off energy and stay mentally engaged. For more relaxed companions, that might mean hanging out together while I work, giving them attention and affection, or simply making sure they have a calm, comfortable space to relax. Since I work remotely, pets staying with me also get lots of companionship throughout the day. Many enjoy keeping me company in my office while I work or taking a short break outside for fresh air and movement. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable, stimulated, and cared for while you’re away.

Reliable, Loving Care for Dogs
Pet care experience
Caring for animals has been a constant part of my life. I grew up in a home that always had two dogs at a time, and before moving out, my family had raised six wonderful dogs together. From energetic pups to older companions, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to care for dogs through different stages of life. I currently share my home with two special-needs cats, which has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Managing medications, monitoring behavior changes, and creating a calm, safe environment are all things I take seriously. My primary goal when caring for your pet is simple: I want them to feel happy, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I also know how important peace of mind is for owners. I’m communicative, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and cared for. I treat every animal with gentleness, respect, and the kind of attention I would want for my own pets.

Reviews
Great service
We have a very, very high energy French Bulldog and Chris is great at handling him and calming him down. Our dog can be a lot to take but Chris is really patient and caring. I'd definitely recommend him!
I can’t recommend Chris highly enough. He has watched my animals and I trust him completely every step of the way. From the start, he was responsible, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. He kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pets were well-cared for and I could tell they were comfortable and relaxed when I got home.
