Fun, energetic, experienced

Pet care experience

I am an experienced dog handler with lots of energy and passion to share my life with as many pets and human friends as possible! I used to live in Maine where I met a client who moved me to FL to be a full time dog nanny. I am looking to fulfill my days with lots of different furry friends! I am a member of the Florida Army National Guard and am currently still serving. I am currently working on my 14th year in service. One of my favorite memories is when I used to coach a varsity ice hockey program for a loval high school. I did it for 4 years and enjoyed working with the school, community and kids before I moved down to Treasure Island Florida. I have many clients from several locations throughout Maine and Florida that have given me permission to use their numbers or emails for referrals purposes if need be. Please feel free to ask for them :)

Christopher is a stellar sitter. He is extremely professional and detail oriented. When our plans changed due to weather, he was flexible and willing to adjust our rate! He took lots of photos and texted frequent updates. I will be using Christopher again, and would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

Christopher M. is a Fabulous dog sitter ! While we were in Florida, he sat my nine-year-old Maltese 6 to 7 times so my husband and I could go out and enjoy ourselves. Our Boy has severe "separation anxiety" when we leave him lone. Christopher was kind enough to stay at our condo with him. He not only played with Hudson, but gave him great "belly rubs". He also walked him multiple times a day and texted pictures of their outings. Needless to say, we were thrilled with the expert way Chris took care of our Furbaby! Not only were we in "ruff" with Christopher, but it was obvious that our dog also Adored him! Chris was always punctual, super sweet and Very loving with our Boy. In addition, we appreciated how reasonable his pricing was. I could not say enough wonderful things about him. Just know that your dog is in The Best of Hands (paws), if you hire Chris as your dog sitter or walker!!! Thanks SO much for doing such a GREAT JOB❣ God Willing....we will see you this Fall or next February to do it all over again. :)

I have two large breed dogs and after our first meeting I knew Chris was the right choice to care for them! He was instantly comfortable with the dogs and they were drawn to him. He was knowledgeable, professional, and thorough in learning about their schedules, their needs, and understanding their temperaments. While I was out of town, Chris texted updates and sent photos of the dogs, a great personal touch that I really appreciated! It was comforting to know that the dogs were being well cared for. I enthusiastically recommend Chris! He is reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and dependable!

We were recommended to Christopher from a couple that took care of our dog and cat last year. This year when we went to book our vacation, they were not available but recommended Christopher with 100% positive feedback. We reached out to Christopher and he was very prompt in getting back to us. He is organized and it was great to have the "interview" go both ways. We went away for a week last month and he took care of our malamute and our Bengal. We live in a neighborhood with lot of traffic (human and other dogs- on leashes and sometimes not). Christopher really took the time to understand Alina (our malamute) and Loki (our Bengal) schedules, likes/dislikes and our no thank you list (e.g. cannot have Alina off leash, please do not let Loki outside on accident). We were pleasantly surprised with the texts and photos of Alina and Loki during our vacation; it is difficult to be away when they are family but their smiles/safety were priceless. Christopher took care of Alina and Loki again just a weekend ago and again we came home to Alina and Loki being well cared for and safe. Thank you Christopher!

We will take daily walks while I stay with your furry friends. Playtime is always welcomed. I am an avid runner and can offer jogs if you have a hyper active dog. Pictures will be taken throughout the day and sent at night before bed.
