I love to play and walk dogs and really any pet, I understand there is limits and always have to keep watch, but these animals need to release energy and I am more than willing to help. Make sure to give time to eat and drink and digest their food

Chris was awesome and Gracie enjoyed her time with him. He took really good care of her and met all expectation. Looking forward to their next adventure...

Did a great job with drop-ins for our three cats over Christmas! Our senior cat gets daily medication and our other two have their own quirks. I was confident they were safe and being cared for with great communication and pictures.

Chris was a great dog sitter! He was accommodating to a last minute change, a meet and greet before hand, and respectful of my home! He was punctual and caring for my little Fry Guy. I did not have any worries about my pup while Chris was watching him. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a sitter!
