Quick wits and patience is key!

Pet care experience

I have over 6 years of hands on training experience, from clicker training, to non verbal communication with dogs. I have some experience in dog psychology. I'm very patient when it comes to dogs and never get upset or frustrated. Patience is my #1 trait! I love to train and play games with all dogs, especially when I can make it a group activity. I am more than happy to help families learn how to train their dogs and am always willing to give advice when asked. You won't find another sitter like me, I'll always go the extra mile to make sure every animal receives the same love and care that they deserve. They say dogs are man's best friend, and I want to have a million best friends!

Christopher took great care of our precious Duke for almost a week while the family went on vacation. During our meet up Christopher asked the right questions and took notes about our dog’s quirks. Christopher sent pics and assured us that Duke was doing well. We could not have asked for a better dog sitter. We plan on having Duke stay with Christopher When go on our winter vacation.

Chris was very responsive and treated my dog very nice. He was being very patient with my dog, and taught my dog how to get comfortable staying in the crate. Chris constantly updated me about my dog and sent me pictures. He was flexible with the schedule, and he was being a great help! I will definitely bloom Chris again!

Christopher was excellent with my dog, he sent me text messages with updates on how my dog was doing along with pictures - his place has a nice backyard and Christopher himself was very nice and accommodating. I will bring Albie back to him whenever I need a sitter or dog walker
