Here for all your fur baby needs!

Pet care experience

Hello! Yes my legal name is Chris, but I go by Sage! I’m a chef, artist, and pet care extraordinaire. I’ve been taking care of fur babies for the some time now, with experience in shelters, doggy daycares, and have been walking dogs for a large number of clients, as well as some experience in home care for senior doggies in the last 7 years. I'm experienced with various breeds, sizes, diets, and temperaments. Being a pet parent myself, I have an understanding of the responsibility and care that needs to be possessed for this work and I'm able to accommodate different pet schedules or needs of the clients as well! I have a gentle nature and animals warm up to me quickly so I can’t wait to meet your little ones! (Or chonky ones!) I am a chef/food manager, with a good amount of flexibility in my schedule. Clients that require consecutive days of care only need to notify me their schedule one to two weeks in advance and I would surely be able to accommodate. In a client’s home, I take great accountability for the space and how me being in it affects the pets. I make sure that cleanliness and comfort are a priority. I want the pet I’m watching to feel like I am a magical treat machine that gives belly rubs and cuddles every now and then and work at gaining both their and their humans’ full confidence in my ability to take proper care of them and their environment!

Chris was attentive and extremely patient with our very anxious Labrador. He did not waiver and sent updates every day. We came home to some happy and healthy pups. Would definitely rebook with Chris again.

Sage was great with our dog! She is anxious but warmed up to them quickly and he sent wonderful pics and updates. Definitely recommend!

Christopher is an excellent sitter and walker! My dog is really slow to warm up to strangers and Christopher was super patient and gentle with my dog. He gave lots of updates, which I really appreciated. Will definitely be booking Christopher again in the future.

Information Christopher W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if they have any special needs or behaviors I can account for in order to best take care of them. I’m understanding of behaviors based on breed and even environment and can recognize when those special cases need extra TLC.

A typical day

I live near a few nice parks and am a very active person so it would be bo problem at all to take long strolls with dogs or pups with tons of energy. Big sense of adventure so I like to show dogs the cutest areas full of space and things to sniff! Always down for fetch and frolicking and belly rubs!
