Looking for Puppy fun? I got you!

Pet care experience

I love how sweet and loving dogs are. They sense everything from happiness to sadness and seem to know how to make us feel better no matter what. I used to have three dogs when I was in middle and high school. With my current responsibilities, I wouldn't have time to give my own pup affection he would deserve, but pet sitting is a great remedy for this as it still allows me to provide love and care to pups in need. I have also volunteered at the HSPCA for a couple of years and the Humane Society, which was a perfect outlet for me as well. I love to stay active! Getting plenty of exercise is the cornerstone of any stay with me. We would go on walks every morning and night, and weather dependent, perhaps even a run. That definitely would include some trips to the dog park as well! I would make sure the both of us are well fed and taken care of. My everyday schedule is flexible outside of my normal shift of 10:00am to 6:30pm Tuesday through Saturday, and if needed I can take a lunch to go back for to check in on your pup. Sunday and Monday are completely open for activities, which I take advantage of as often as possible. I love hitting the trail and can walk for days on end! I’d be happy to go for a light hike on one of the bayou trails with your pup and my daughter Angelina, or head to Galveston or Surfside to walk along the beach. Pups are always welcome along! I’m always very attentive to your pup and their behavior during a stay. I will let your pup explore around anywhere you would allow and keep any areas not allowed for exploration out of the question. I may even bring her a toy to entertain their curiosity! Any new pups they would be exposed to, I would keep a close eye on their interactions to make sure everything is ok. I would consistently keep you updated on her status, good or bad, by email, text, and pics.

Christopher has been great! We contacted him on short notice, he was able to come over for a meet and greet the very next day. He asked great questions during the initial meeting and it was clear he read our pups profile as well as our booking request details. He has provided updates each time he walked and fed our pup as well as pictures. In addition, he was quick to respond when I requested to extend the stay. I appreciate his thoughtfulness, detail oriented nature, and kindness he has shown with our pup. We will absolutely book him again!

We were very happy with Chris. He did a great job house sitting our black lab and kept us updated throughout our trip. We would be happy to use his services again.

Information Christopher M. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

Keeping active is a huge part of my life, and there’s nothing better than sharing that with a canine co-pilot. For pups, I’m always happy to go to any nearby large grassy areas, preferably a regular park or a dog park for some off-leash fun. I particularly like going to Memorial Park and Hermann Park! I also enjoy exploring the neighborhood as well. I also like to hit the trail for a good hike, and really love having my daughter and a pooch alongside me for the ride! If you’re okay with it, I’ll try to get some trail time in for the two of us. I also enjoy going for a run, playing basketball, and walking on the beach. I do those things at least twice a week, and I’d be happy to bring your pup along with me for that.
