Chris’s Dog Sitting and Boarding

I have taken care of dogs since I was 8. I attended dog training classes and showed dogs in 4-H. Friends and family have frequently retained my services to care for their pets while they are away.

Chris is the ONLY person I trust to watch my two cats! He has watched my cats (and stayed in my home) on at least three occasions, and he is my first call anytime I need someone to take care of my boys (the cats). Chris knows how much I adore my boys and ensures they are loved and well-cared for when I'm away. I even have been a bit particular with some of their routines and Chris adheres to them like a pro. He takes lots of photos to send to me so I don't miss them too much, and keeps me up-to-date on how they are doing, any behaviors to note, and anything else that might be something of interest to me. I never worry when Chris is with my cats!! I also wanted to note that he is always very respectful of my home and leaves the place neat and clean, nothing out of place. Chris is THE BEST pet-sitter in the DC area, and you should trust him with your pet(s)!!

Schedule

I do work full time and am away from my apartment from 9-5 during the week. However, I am consistently home during the evenings and weekends to take the dog for a walk and ensure they get the socialization they need.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs prior to visiting. I prefer dogs with a mellower demeanor but am happy to look after a more energetic dog too.
