Pet care experience

A Trusted Professional ❤️🐶

I have cared for dogs practically my whole life. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I find myself talking to them, walking with them, and even laughing with them. That same feeling of connection and love is what inspired me to begin petsitting for my furry friends. From pugs to doodles, all dogs, both big and small - I adore them all! Taking care of somebody else’s pet gives me the same sense of companionship and friendship that my own dogs gave me growing up. With each pet I care for I can feel a special bond build as we go for walks or get snuggle time together on the couch. Petsitting allows me the unique opportunity to show love and kindness for animals the same way it was shown to me growing up with dogs by my side.

Safety, trust & environment

Pet owners are wise to put their trust in a caring and responsible pet caretaker when they're away. I understand that caring for someone else's pet and home is a large responsibility, and I take this very seriously. My approach has always been one of love, trustworthiness, and cleanliness. Animals can sense when someone is caring for them lovingly. To ensure the safety of your pet and property, I am highly organized in my caretaking duties; from cleaning up after your pets to keeping their living areas spotless - everything is done with attention to detail. Your beloved pets and your home will be in caring hands when you book with me.

House Sitting • Oct 08, 2026

We had an exceptional experience with Christopher and could not recommend him more highly. He was conscientious, professional, communicative, and genuinely attentive throughout his stay. It was clear that our pet was in excellent hands, and we had complete peace of mind knowing she was well cared for. Just as importantly, Christopher treated our home with tremendous respect. Everything was left exceptionally clean, orderly, and extremely well cared for. His attention to detail and thoughtfulness went far beyond what we expected. We would absolutely welcome him back and would confidently recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. A truly outstanding experience!

Fantastic service. We had an opportunity to meet with Chris a while back to explore his services to take care of my blind doxie and he took care of him this past weekend and he was a great sitter. He took care not only of my boy, but was kind enough to take care of our Yorkie [unplanned] because it was my birthday. Chris is a total class act, clean and thorough with his communication and care of our home. In fact, he will be taking care of my Doxie once again this week and in October.

Christopher is wonderful. We were in a bind and our usual care giver had some health problems and we were going to be gone for 3 weeks! Eeek! Found Christopher and he was terrific. He kept us posted with texts and pictures of our two pups. He is neat and tidy and the dogs had a ball with him. I would highly recommend him for any pet day care need. It is hard to find someone to stay in your home and overnight but he does it all. We have scheduled him for two more stays!

We recently had Chris care for our young Golden Retriever, Chester, for a week while we were out of town. Chester can be a handful so we were somewhat apprehensive about leaving him with someone he did not know and who might not have the patience that we have to work with him each day. We were very happy with Chris and his interaction with Chester. They played each day and became great friends. Chris came by after we had returned from our trip and we were really interested to see how Chester would respond to him. Chester was very excited to see Chris which told us all we needed to know about their week together. I highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a responsible, caring dog sitter.

Chris is super professional and absolutely loves our dog. He plays with her, takes her on long healthy walks and accommodates to her personality when she doesn't feel like doing anything at all. He really pays attention to her moods and is very kind. He is very neat and super respectful and very very trustworthy. We would not leave our dog with just anyone. He is a gem.

Schedule

Unlike a majority of Pet Sitters, I specialize and prefer the longer stays! Many of my clients entrust in me when they are away for weeks and months at a time for a dream vacation or an extended business trip. Being able to work virtually as a remote consultant has allowed me to better prioritize the care of my little pals. The flexibility enables me to spend more quality time with them and I consider myself lucky that my career and personal passions never have to conflict, since providing love and attention for my furry friends is a priority my life.

During a meet and greet, I like to review any alternative behaviors medicines, injuries and/or physical special needs, and allergies that the dog may have. If the dog was a rescue, or if there was any major trauma in your pet's life.
