Caring dog walker and sitter

Hi there! I’m Chris and I’ve been taking care of dogs for 15 years now. I currently live with my older female dog, Madison, who is a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I am currently in flight school in Hood River and have lots of free time to care for pups old and young. I very much enjoy taking walks and spending quality time with all furry friends and loved animals ones. Please reach out if you have any further questions or inquiries!

I have 8 years of gratitude for Chris's care for my dogs. When I am away they don't seem to skip a beat with Chris. He keeps them engaged by prioritizing outdoor activity, thought-provoking conversation and plenty of quality cuddles. Chris has also been adaptive to my aging companion's needs; monitoring injuries, obliging to slower paces and specific diets. Whether its an over-energized hound or a sleepy sun-loving lizard dog Chris is a great person to have to look after your critters.

Chris is a reliable and attentive dog walker and dog sitter with a genuine passion for working with dogs. He is patient, responsible, and experienced in handling dogs during walks and in-home care. Chris takes pride in providing safe, engaging, and positive experiences for the dogs in his care. His own dog, Madison, is a well-mannered and gentle companion, reflecting the calm and nurturing environment Chris maintains. He consistently demonstrates a strong appreciation for canine companionship and a high standard of care.

Chris always takes such great care of my dog, Archie!! Chris often walks Archie while I'm at work, and he's always super communicative and lets me if there were any issues I should be aware of, like Archie having an upset stomach (which unfortunately is not uncommon for his sensitive stomach) or how many sticks Archie decided to take home haha. Chris has also pet sit for me while I'm traveling. It's great to know that my dog is in good hands and getting tons of belly rubs while I'm away! I couldn't recommend Chris more!

I’m currently in flight school, part time, with a very flexible study schedule. My weekdays and weekends are mostly open for canine care. I’m an early riser and enjoy taking care of animals in any capacity.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and am able to take care of dogs during the day. Though I prefer to be outside for walks during the day I also very much enjoy couch time and attentive play with canines of all ages, demeanors, and sizes.

Pets

A typical day

I love to walk, run, or just spend quality play and rest time inside with pups. Open to other activities specific to your loved pupper as well :)

Please let me know if your pup has any specific or nuanced needs. I have experience in caring for a wide age and temperament range of dogs, as well as those experiencing illness or ongoing medical care.
