Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced walker, happy to walk!
I have grown up with dogs and cared for them since grade school. I have raised two strong and happy dogs and have learned a lot about their personalities over the years. I have a great awareness of what dogs are feeling thru their facial expressions and non-verbal gestures. The satisfaction I get from this profession is when the pet I care for feels content after their nice walk and as a result are ready for a nice relaxing nap. I also make it important for me to keep my clients aware of my care. I will regularly send update texts of their furry friends to keep my clients, stress-free and aware that their pet is in good hands. My main goal is to become a great team player for my client.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Christopher was terrific. He stepped in for the week I was unable to walk my dogs. The dogs loved him, and he took good care of them.
Luna was really happy to spend time with Christopher. He sent me details about her day with videos included.
Christoper was excellent! Our dog had an amazing time and we’ll definitely book again!
Christopher sent us plenty of photos and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel really comfortable and reassured. He took really good care of our dog, and our dog was super happy when we got back. This was our first time using Rover, and it turned out to be a great experience. We’d definitely recommend Christopher!
We left Lucky, our 9-year-old shepherd-lab mix, with Christopher for a week. It was the first time we engaged Christopher. Lucky usually has some anxiety during dropoff and with men, but Christopher immediately sensed it and decided to take him for a walk before I left. I appreciated that a lot. On past occasions, the anxiety has often meant Lucky doesn't eat for 1-2 days, or has an upset stomach--none of that happened this time. We got pictures and videos every day, and Christopher was responsive throughout. We will definitely want to use his boarding services again for Lucky.
Chris was great with Moose for in-house stay! He anticipated us at drop-off and pick-up, was open to providing personal reference before booking, followed directions well, and sent several video updates daily. His house has a large fenced yard that Moose enjoyed. Moose was walked several times per day and clearly had a relaxing vacation with Chris. Would book again!

Schedule
My goal is to give your pet the most amount of time possible. I am currently a full time pet walker and soon to be accepting boarding & doggy daycare!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When I dog sit in my home, I ensure safety and comfort by pet-proofing and providing a cozy space. I follow the owner’s feeding schedule, offer fresh water, and ensure the dog gets adequate exercise and socialization. I monitor the dog's health and update the owner regularly. When I am in a client’s home, I maintain home security, adhere to the pet’s routine, and perform any additional tasks requested by the client. During drop-in walking services, I use a sturdy leash, choose safe routes, and tailor the exercise to the dog's needs. I always keep the owner informed and maintain professionalism to build trust and ensure the well-being of the pets in my care.
A typical day
I will come ready with an overall map of the area so that the client can lay out their pet's most comfortable route. If I see local parks along the walk, I can take some time and play with the pet there. I have plenty of tennis balls and can play fetch, the main focus is to give the pet attention and for them to release energy.
