Pet care experience

Full time sitter, big fenced yard!

Hi! I’m Chris. I’m originally from Massachusetts, and moved down to Austin in 2015. My wife and I now live in Circle C with our two small dogs and two cats adopted from APA and Austin animal center. I grew up with animals and have taken care of pets all my life. My wife and I have also taken care of/fostered many dogs ranging from 6 week old puppies to senior dogs, as well as kittens and adult cats - so we are familiar with pet care routines including medication administration(oral, topical, and injection), basic grooming, as well as some simple training. I am an avid animal lover and your pet’s well-being is my top priority. I will be taking care of your pets as if they were my own.

We’ve used Christopher for a few years now. He has an excellent set up, great disposition with the dogs, and our little guy always seems to love his stays. Highly recommend!

Chris was absolutely fantastic with our puppy, Stevie! This was our first time leaving her for a weekend, and honestly, it was the best experience we could have hoped for. Chris was incredibly accommodating, flexible, and attentive to Stevie’s needs from start to finish. He kept us updated throughout the weekend with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Stevie was well cared for, comfortable, and happy the entire time she was with him. We came home to a happy puppy and couldn't be more grateful. We would absolutely trust Chris with Stevie again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Consistently wonderful! Easy to book, flexible with our travel schedules, send us 8-10 photos daily and our pup always looks so happy to be there. She also comes home completely exhausted so we know she loves it!!

Chris is very accommodating and does an excellent job taking care of our dog. We know she is very well looked after, and we get lots of pictures showing how much fun she is having. Thank you.

Safety, trust & environment

A meet and greet is recommended for dogs prior to booking for new clients. The pets are usually much more comfortable being dropped off at our house if they’ve already been here before! We welcome your pet to free roam the house and enjoy cuddles on the couch. We have a big fenced yard where your dog can enjoy ample play time with other dogs. For cat boarding, we usually only board at most 2 cats at a time and will have a dedicated room for new cats as we know cats can take a while to warm up, and having their own space will help them adjust.

Pets

A typical day

We usually board multiple dogs at a time, we also have two dogs of our own to keep your fur baby company. So they will enjoy plenty of socialization during the day.

Let me know if your pet has any special needs that I need to account for! Since we have dogs and cats at home, it’d be great to know your pet’s past experience with dogs and cats as well. :)
