Highlights
Pet care experience
I love pets!
I grew up taking care of a friend's dog. I would take the dog on long walks. I also fed him and taught him tricks. My mom is a dog walker and I often help her. Through this help, I have walked and fed a variety of different kinds of dogs. I have experience with adopted dogs who have had trauma. I have had experience taking care of friends' cats as well. A dog I grew up with lived a long happy life and towards the end of it, had a lot of health problems. Through my experience with him, I learned to take care of older dogs. He was a very very smart goldendoodle and needed a lot of stimulation, so I often played with him using dog puzzles and now have experience helping guide dogs through them. When I was younger, I had the chance to work with and ride horses which I very much loved.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I feed pets, ofcourse, and have experience washing dogs. I like to intellectually stimulate a pet and try to teach them tricks with food or treats. The dog I grew up often taking care of required a LOT of intellectual stimulation. We would play all sorts of different games and I would teach him tricks. He required a lot of this attention, so we often used kibble instead of treats. One of my favorite parts of meeting a new animal is learning how they communicate. I will endeavor to learn how your pet expresses their needs and wants so I can best support them.
Ratings and reviews
Christopher is a terrific, responsible and dependable pet caregiver! He has walked dogs for me for 8 years. He loves animals & they love him! He is kind, gentle & compassionate. He slept on the floor with a sick Goldendoodle. A rescue who avoids people sat next to him to be petted and fell asleep on his lap! He taught an energetic Lab tricks. The dogs are always excited to see him. You and your pets will love him! I wholeheartedly recommend him!

- Before I take care of your pet, I want to know about any medical needs they may have. I want to know where they like to go, how long they like their walks to be, and how many treats I should give them. I want to know how they are around other dogs so I can keep them safe. I want to know if they have had any negative experiences in their past that may impact the way I care for them. I also want to know how much food to give them and whether they need any support with their eating habits.
- These prices are for 1 dog.
