No Dog Left Behind

Pet care experience

I’ve owned and been around dogs my entire life and currently own a dog friendly American Pitbull Terrier. When my family/friends/coworkers need a dog sitter, doggy play date, dog walker, etc., I’m the one they call. I love all dogs - big or small, friendly or reactive, they all have a reason to love them. I have a fully fenced yard for your son/“dogter” to play, relax, sunbathe, and just be a dog. If your dog is reactive of any kind, I would love to work with you. I feel they are misunderstood and need extra care. I have experience with reactive dogs myself. My pitty is people reactive and doesn’t like when strangers approach him, but he does much better when there is a friendly dog with you. He is great with all dogs and is always down for some play time. Other than that,I understand every dog has their own unique needs and I will gladly adhere to whatever you as the owner need.

Chris is a phenomenal dog owner and human. His tenacity with all ranges of dogs, varying from reactive dogs to bubbly, calm personalities is a rare skill that he has honed. The years of experience Chris has working with dogs will make anyone comfortable to work with him. He understands dog body language, keeps up with high energy doggos and can keep company with low energy seniors. He is a true dog person and all dogs seem to love him. He is skilled at confidence building, training, and keeping routines so dogs feel comfortable around him too. I can’t say enough how much I trust my own reactive pitbull with Chris and his services.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard with a decent amount of space for your dog to run around and play. In case you plan on traveling, I live about 13min from Oakland International Airport and 32min from SFO. Inside the home is our calm space; maybe wind down with a chew toy or bone (no raw hide of course) and relax from all the outdoor activities. If requested, your dog can be crated as well. We have a small office space that can be dedicated to your pup during boarding. If you’re in the middle of any training or would like to keep a similar schedule as you do at your home please let me know and I will keep that routine going.

Information Christopher W. would like to know about your pet

If there are any special needs or reactivity that I should be aware of let me know prior to any meeting. I would like to be as well informed as possible so that all parties have healthy and positive interactions.

A typical day

I love to get dogs minds working before any play or walk begins. I think a few repetitions of recall and basic commands help create a stronger relationship with the dog. A typical day could involve some sort of long walk/hike, some enrichment games, playing in the backyard, or a trip to the park. I also have a kiddie pool that I bring out during summer time!
