Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Chris and I've always been very fond of dogs. I have my own dogs that I take care of. I love taking long walks with my dog or even run a couple miles (if she's up for it) everyday with my dog. I'm very active and if it's possble, your dog will be healthy & active with me. What I love doing the most is taking my dog to the doggy beach during the summer. She gets to interact with other dogs and let's loose. By the time she gets home, she is all tired out. Since I will be in college, I will be having more availabilities during my days. I would love to get to know your doggy and keep him active and healthy!
Reviews
Worst sitter ever! Christopher was by far an absolute horror! I’m not sure if the other reviews were just dog walking, but we booked him for a house sitting and it couldn’t have been any worse. Before I accepted the booking, I made sure that Christopher agreed to not leave my dogs for more than 5 hours. I double checked that he would stay over as they need to go out early. He agreed to all of this. None of this happened. Over a 72 hour period, Christopher only showed up twice for 30 min each visit. He never stayed over and did not even take my dogs to go to the bathroom, let alone walk them - not once! When we came home there was days worth of poop and pee all over the house. The curtains had pee and poop all over them, as well as the couch. It cost us over $300 in cleaning fees. My poor dogs were panting when we came in and the water and dog bowls were completely empty. We checked the security footage to verify the time he was actually there and was appalled! One hour total within 72 hours. Even during the limited time he was at our home he was only on his phone and didn’t interact with the dogs. On top of everything else, Christopher never returned our house keys. He said he “forgot” and was “unavailable” when we asked him to return them. It wasn’t until we threatened police action that he actually returned the keys. I would NEVER recommend Christopher to watch a house plant, let alone pets. My pups are my kids and I care for them deeply! It so upsetting to know that someone can neglect pets just for the sake of getting money. I would STRONGLY recommend that you look elsewhere for a sitter. Christopher showed us to be a dishonest, irresponsible, neglectful, and immature person. There are many sitters out there that would actually do the job they agree to. I would never book with him! Do not look at the other reviews, we made this mistake and it really cost us!
I had a very bad experience with Christopher. I was on vacation and there was lack of and poor communication. It would sometimes take hours for him to respond to my questions. And when he did respond there was somewhat of an attitude. Lastly, when my dog was returned she was scratching constantly.. fleas!!! He has a dog too so unsure how else she could have gotten them. And now I have flea bites from all the cuddles I’ve been giving her because it seems like she’s afraid I’ll leave her again.
After a last minute cancellation right before the holidays, Christopher saved us by stepping up and offering to watch our puppy for almost 2 weeks. Charlie had a great time. He sent pictures when asked and gave us updates along the way. I would definitely recommend Christopher. Bonus, he helped me out by dropping our dog plus all his belongings off to us at the end of our trip!
Chris was a great dog sitter for our two boys. He was so accommodating when we needed to extend our trip
