I love dogs with personalities.

Pet care experience

I've cared for dogs since I was a kid. Family and friends always send me their pups in a pinch. I'm an early riser and I love to start the day with a walk. I'm so grateful when dogs show their personality and I appreciate each one for their uniqueness.

Chris does a great job carrying for our two dogs. One of our dogs isn’t a fan of most men or new people, but she was begging for her belly to be rubbed very quickly. We got lots of pictures and knew they were well taken care of. Thank you Chris!!

Christopher came to our place for a meet and greet, he took the time to ask questions and was really helpful walking my energetic puppy.

I have a fenced in yard, so I let my buddy yogi out whenever he needs to go to the bathroom or if he just wants to sunbathe. That said, I like to get him exercise so we usually go for 2 walks a day.

Information Christopher S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dogs has any special needs or unique characteristics - no detail is too small. The better I know the dog's typical behavior, the more I'll be able to adjust to them.

A typical day

A typical day starts with a walk in a familiar zone. I like to learn the dog's pace and take special care to not slow them down or drag them along. Usually, after some sniffing and bathroom stops, I like to walk for exercise without stopping too much. I find that most dogs enjoy this style of walking.
