Pet care experience

Grew up with a dachshund then golden retriever and developed a love for the companionship dogs provide. I loved taking my dogs on walks/hikes/runs and throwing tennis balls to their hearts' content. My wife and I have two kittens (we travel too much to own a dog ourselves) who love playing with dogs so your dog will get experience playing with other small critters when they stay with us. We have a fenced backyard and leave the backdoor open so the animals can come and go as they please. We live next to a large park so we can go on long walks or runs, and also have an SUV if we feel the need to get to a dog park for some off-leash fun.

Christopher did a fantastic job taking care of our young yellow lab. He is very organized and kept us up to date about our pup.

Christopher has been an animal owner his whole life, including dogs, cats, hamsters and even pet rats when he was younger. He recently lost his beloved golden retriever, Riley, and is now currently dad to two small kittens, Finn and Gus. Christopher's love and patience with animals is always apparent. The satisfaction he receives from interacting and providing for their needs is heart-warming. As a licensed prosthetist and orthotist, Christopher's chosen profession exemplifies his kind and gentle nature when caring for the needs of others. When it comes time for your dog to get some exercise, preferably on a wooded trail or at the park with a chuck-it, Christopher is 100% trustworthy to give your pet the love and attention they deserve.

Christopher is a dog lover to his core. Watching him with his childhood dog, Riley, you can see his respect for dogs and how genuinely he enjoys spending time with them. Christopher can tell you exactly the way Riley loved to have his head nuzzled, and how to play with him to get him all riled up and in a great mood. As Riley aged, Christopher would take him out to the field to play catch with the Chuck-It as they always had, but I always admired how intuitive Christopher seemed to be to how Riley was doing, knowing exactly when it seemed like Riley was too tuckered out for more and when it was time to go inside before Riley wore himself out too badly. Away from home, Christopher's love for dogs and responsibility as a dog caregiver extend to so many of the other pups in his life. When asked to dog sit for friends Christopher will go above and beyond to make sure the dog gets enough exercise in the day, and is always mindful of the training goals of their owner, trying to use consistent commands and stick with meal-time, treat and toy routines. I give Christopher my highest recommendation as a dog caregiver and know that any dog who gets to spend time with him will be all the better for it!
