Pet care experience

Experienced, Active, Loving Friend

I am a musician that has lived in Denver for seven years and has since moved out to my cabin in Conifer. Dogs have always been part of my life and my family. When I was growing up, I noticed how hard it was on my parents to put our dogs into a kennel when we went on vacation. As our dogs got older it was nearly impossible to find someone to look after our beloved pets. As a pet sitter, I get to provide that care that we lacked when I was a kid. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and keep everyone--pets and owners--comfortable during the stay. I've spent years working with dogs on a farm, in a few doggy day care centers and most recently working with a top rated dog care company here in Denver. During this time, I enjoyed the company of many different types of dogs: outgoing, shy, cuddle machines, playful, big and small. Don't you love how all dogs have their own personalities? I would love to meet you and your furry family members--and have the privilege of taking care of them. My promise to you is that I will take care of them like they're part of my family.

Chris was amazing! We were in town for a Red Rocks show and needed someone who could watch our dog. He was one of very few sitters willing to do a late pick up which we appreciated to no end! Our dog liked his chill vibe and was right at home with Chris by the end of the night. He even seemed sad to leave him! I can tell Chris has a genuine love of dogs and will treat your babies as his own.

Chris did a great job with our three dogs. He is very easy going and put our mind at ease when we were out of town. We received pictures and updates daily which was much appreciated. Highly recommended! Thanks Chris!!

Chris did a great job with our two pups and kitty! We got great photo updates while we were gone and all appeared well taken care of and relaxed when we returned. Thanks Chris!

Chris did a great job caring for my very high-energy animal family this past weekend! He showed great concern and patience despite cellphone issues on my end (traveling overseas) and the animals being much rowdier than usual. It is clear that he is has a vast wealth of experience with animals. We were very satisfied and I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Chris was great with my animals. They are high energy dogs and he was able to keep them entertained and worn out. He took them on fun adventures through his stay with them. He was also great with the communication which is much appreciated when trusting your pets & house in someone else's care. Chris was also extremely flexible and understanding when I needed to extend my trip due to an emergency situation. I will definitely be contacting him for any pet/house sitting needs in the future.

Our boys had a wonderful time with Chris! It was clear they had spent ample time outdoors and were thoroughly exhausted by the time we got them back. We were very pleased with the communication and they seemed very happy. Thanks again Chris

Schedule

I do have a full time job, but that doesn't stop me from making sure your pooches get a full day of activities in. Mornings usually consist of walks and/or exercise with the evenings being reserved for inside play and cuddle time, as my dog Kenobi can attest to. On my days off, we usually go on adventures to the dog park or make pup cup runs (with your permission).

Please let me know if their is any behavioral issues or dietary needs like separation anxiety or struggles with new dog/human interactions. Knowing these things keeps your pup safe and comfortable. I don't have any breed restrictions.
