Veteran dog care

Pet care experience

Born and raised with dogs, I helped my father train our three pups. I now have a year old Plott-Pitt companion who I’ve trained as well. I’ll care for your best friend with the same care and dedication I would with my own. I’m capable to training to standard commands (come, sit, no, go, stay) with corresponding hand signals. I can teach leash etiquette and sidewalk/crosswalk awareness. I am happy to wash and dry your pup should you need.

Super responsive and willing and able to keep up with my pup’s training so it’s consistent!

Thank you so much for taking such excellent care of my doggies! Christopher was super patient with my very shy guy Roscoe and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and get him on a walk. Clearly he has great experience with dogs and is very caring with them.

Chris was outstanding from the very start, very responsive, always looking to go above and beyond, he gave us that warm fuzzy feeling that we were leaving our dogs with the very best of people. Lana and Bear immediately took to Chris and I know they are excited for our next trip so they get to see him again. I have and will 100% rebook Chris for any future walks/drop-ins/stays, thank you again Chris

Really enjoyed having Chris take care of our three cavaliers! I booked him last minute for drop in visits and he did great. We got updates and pictures and the best part is that our nervous puppy didn’t bark at him once during the meet and greet. You can tell he’s a real dog lover and I appreciate that he listened to our needs. 100% recommend Chris and I’ve already rebooked!

A typical day

I love to get my dog out for a 1-3 mile walk every day. She loves the exercise and our outside time through the rest of the day is permeated with trips to the dog park where I live. We love to spend time out walking along Arlington Ridge. There are lots of smells and plenty of routes to keep it interesting.
