The Steve Irwin of dogs!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Chris, to start off I'm 6'2, about 180 and I've taken care of puppies, seniors, chihuahuas, dachshunds, pit bulls, my own childhood dog (a large sized mixed breed that doctors couldn't figure out with a genetic test!), and a bunch of others throughout the years. I got my first dog when I was 8, I've loved them ever since. His name was Hamlet, he was a year old and he had a broken hip. We got him surgery and nursed him back to health, I took care of him the absolute best I could. Eventually he could run up stairs and live a normal life. We had him until he was 13 and couldn't walk up the stairs again. Gave him medication and love, patience was key. Throughout his life we had various other dogs of different breeds. Aggressive ones, shy ones, beagles and chihuahuas. I learned how to care for all kinds of dogs. I really believe every dog is different, they each need their own specific care and attention based on their health and personality. I'll treat your dog correct and make sure they're happy and healthy when you see'em again!

Chris was great! He want able to HANDLE my little crazy one, Happy (who is usually sad). Happy isn't generally nice to strangers but Chris has the magic touch and doggy intuition. Happy was such a relaxed and behaved dog when I came back.

Chris is the poster boy of a dog sitter! My Bella absolutely adores Chris! He’s so affectionate and responsible of my Bella! He even went out of his way to help me eliminate her cherry eye! I 100% give my recommendation to Chris!

I have a 1 year old Scottish terrier puppy and a 6 year old golden retriever who are a real handful. Chris has been walking my dogs for about six months, a few times a week and he has able to take care of them no problem. Chris has such a friendly and professional attitude, he's always prompt and on time, and my dog loves him! If you're looking for a good and reliable dog-walker I would highly recommend you go with Chris.

Information Christopher L. would like to know about your pet

I can, and have worked with any breed. But I do like to know an animal's temperament before I meet them

A typical day

I'm a high energy person, so parks and runs are on the agenda if the dog is sociable, but play time inside with a little tug of war is always fun.
