Dog lover, care giver, photographer

Pet care experience

Are you looking for reliable, entertaining, and loving sitter?! I am the caregiver for you! My dog sitting and walking experience spans the last 10 years. I grew up in a family who owned labs and a neighborhood full of other breeds. Whether they are easy to handle or difficult, I have experience caring for all of them! I also love to use (dog-specific) commands and expand their behavioral knowledge! Experienced with reactive, senior, seizure-prone, and high energy pups.

When we went away for the weekend and were deciding which caretaker to look after our pup, I chose Christopher because of his reviews and photography background. His photos were so great with our pup that we ended up using them for our families Christmas card. He was super responsive and nice as well. I would just hire again for those photos!! Thanks again!

Christopher is a dedicated, hard working, and very reliable. He is compassionate and caring with his own pets and extends that passion to others' pets. His natural ability to connect with animals and his eagerness to understand their needs and those of their owners would make Christopher an excellent pet sitter. His own pet has had many physical and emotional challenges and can often be aggressive. This has given Christopher excellent experience managing an often difficult set of circumstances. I would highly recommend Christopher. He is affectionate, attentive, and loves animals.

Christopher has watched my 10-year-old dog many times and has always done an incredible job! He is very reliable and always on time. My dog loved him! Your pet will thank you if you hire Christopher to care for them, and you can relax knowing they will be safe and happy.

Safety, trust & environment

I understand that each animal operates differently in their respective environments. In your home, my priority is always your dog’s safety and comfortability. I am experienced in managing a dog if they are to misbehave with or without using a crate. Feeding times are dog specific but water is always important. I like to communicate with owners frequently. As for my own apartment, I have an entire park across the street and very friendly dog-loving roommates.

Information Christopher W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know specific commands that they respond well to. If they are good with other dogs. If they behave well around humans. Necessary feeding, medical, and behavioral info. Any other necessary information!

A typical day

I love to get outside and move with my pets. Whether that’s going for a hike, throwing a frisbee in the park, or playing tug of war in the yard. A typical day for me involves a bunch of movement and a whole bunch of water! I am a part-time photographer and would be happy to do some photoshoots!
