My house has a large completely fenced-in yard, and my dog Charlie is eager to make new friends to play with. Crating is no problem- I have a small and large crate, dog beds, and dozens of toys they can choose from. I keep my home clean and I do not smoke.

Information Christopher P. would like to know about your pet

My dog Charlie is mostly sleepy throughout the day, though when other dogs are around he enjoys playing with them. He gets along well with most dogs.

A typical day

I work from home and have plenty of availability to take dogs out in the morning, afternoon, and evening. We enjoy walking around the neighborhood - including to Forsyth Park. And my backyard provides a nice closed environment for the dogs to chase each other and play outdoors.

Pet care experience

I’ve loved dogs since I was a child, with many family dogs and cats throughout my life - all local rescues. I live alone in a house (with fully fenced yard) in uptown Kingston with my 8y.o. coonhound mix Charlie who is very friendly and gets along with other dogs. My house is located near Forsyth park which is a great spot to take dogs for a scenic walk and playtime.

MeiMei, my puppy, is always excited when she sees Christopher--and this is a good sign: the care and attention he provides her is excellent and she is not only excited to see him, feels safe as well. Another thing I've observed is that Christopher very subtly reinforces all the training I've put into MeiMei. When I arrive, no matter how excited she is that I'm back, Christopher maintains control ofd her leash, keeping her from running to greet me and is also working on assuring that she does not leave her feet for greetings. again, seemingly small, very incredibly important. On my teaching days, the thing I have absolute zero concern about is MeiMei's wellbeing--and that is invaluable. Thank you so much Christopher! You're amazing!

Christopher is prompt, dependable, gentle with my gentle dog, and just an overall really nice person. I’m looking forward to having him again and again.

We couldn’t be more grateful to have found Chris! He’s always punctual, easy to communicate with, and we trust him completely with our dog, Omeo. We are always kept updated with walking adventures and Chris makes sure Omeo is happy and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone so dependable and compassionate. Knowing that our dog, Omeo, is in such caring and capable hands brings us so much peace of mind. We feel very lucky to have met Chris and highly recommend him to any pet owners!
