Caring & Cautious Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I’m a dog-father to a spoiled 4 year old German Shepard mix, looking to be a steady pup sitter to doggos & puppers of all sorts. Currently boasting over 6 years as a manny (male nanny) & over 8 years In taking care of animals that are not my own. With experience in walking, boarding, and more I will certainly become your dogs new bff. I accommodate to all dogs including special needs, and cater to what is best for your furry friend. Whether it’s an hour running around at a dog park, a walk around the block, a play date with another furry friend, or an adventure in a nearby state park I am here to ensure your pup has an amazing time while you’re on vacation, at work or just taking a little “me” time for yourself. I have experience with dogs that have separation anxiety, food aggression, and more. An avid entrepreneur, student, and animal lover, pet care fits right into my schedule. Working for myself, I have flexible hours, and being a student I'm typically home working, or studying - which gives me the ability to house your precious pups while you're away. I love staying active, so being able to get out of the house for a few and play with your lovebugs gives me the boost of serotonin and mental break I need. My dog is my whole world, and your dog will be treated as if she was our family as well. Each dog is different, and getting to know your dog before hand will allow me the ability to adapt to their needs. I've dealt with anxious animals, animals that have dealt with past abuse, hyperactive animals and animals that just need a little bit more TLC than others. HOW YOUR PET WILL BE TREATED IN MY HOME: -- Just like family. They will be allowed on the furniture (unless you have a strict no furniture rule at your house that you'd like to abide by so the dog isn't confused when he/she gets back home)* they will be allowed to roam the house, cuddle up with us in bed, or if you prefer to have them in their crate/kennel, we can arrange that** We do like to go on hikes, to parks (regular and dog parks), and play in the backyard, so if you don't mind, they will be joining us. (Don't worry, we pack plenty of water, treats, and all the necessities needed). CARE IN YOUR HOME: -- Care in your home will be based on your itinerary, and the details you provide to me before the stay. Your animals will receive a warm welcome and lots of loving from me, in addition to letting them use the bathroom, go on walks (must request beforehand), have feeding time, and playtime. I do not like to make it a quick in and out as I believe it is a negative impact on the animal (animals have feelings too), so we may lounge around the house, play with toys, or go outside and play for a bit, and of course - we can't forget the belly rubs. HOUSE SITTING OPTIONS: - The base rate you see is for house sitting and care. This means I will be dropping by and hanging out a few times a day for 30 min to an hour (sometimes longer, if we get into playing and lounging. - If you'd like for me to stay the entire time during the stay, there will be an extended care upcharge per day or night. (I have my own dog I must attend to as well, so I have to be able to check in on her and make sure she's ok) NOTE: I am a huge believer on respect, and respecting the privacy of others. I have no issues with security cams, nanny cams, or following house rules. (Just please don't put a camera in the bathroom, it won't be a sight for sore eyes :P) There will be no snooping, stealing or anything being used without getting permission from you first. * If you decide your animal MUST stay off the furniture please bring a comfortable bed that they can lay on. I, personally, feel it would be unfair to have your animal watch the others on the furniture and they can't. So PLEASE provide a comfortable alternative in advance. ** If you do provide on bringing a crate/kennel, please let me know ahead of time, so I may ensure the house is arranged to fit your bestfriend comfortably

When I got home from my trip, my dogs seemed to be very happy, which made me very happy! Christopher responded to my texts mostly, which gave me comfort while away. No will ask for him again in the future!!!

Chris managed our two dogs well. They ended up having some attitude towards him, but he kept us in communication and confidently dealt with them. Would suggest Chris to anyone.

Information Christopher L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ANY special needs for your furry friend. Including, any allergies, medications, dietary issues/schedules, and any aggressions (food aggression, etc). Also if your dog has any fears (thunder/loud noises, certain objects, etc) it is imperative I am aware of it, so I can ensure your dog has no issue with his stay. Also, if he has any likes (specific areas to rub, certain music, certain toys), I'd love to be aware of that as well.

A typical day

I love to keep a dog's mind/body active at all times. As avid adventurers, we visit various local parks, dog parks, trails, and sometimes even the doggy bars for adults and dogs. Inside, we will play with toys, work on tricks, and train as well.
