Pet care experience

Growing up my mother would call me Dr Doolittle because animals are naturally attracted to me. I grew up on a ranch in the mountains of Santa Barbara and still have property there and take my dog Dory on hikes and beach walks. I love animals and am happiest when I’m surrounded by them always have.

Chris did a great job with Jackie and was very attuned to his needs. I’m confident I’ll use Chris again in the future

We are so incredibly thrilled with Zola's first overnight stay with Christopher. Communication was excellent, and Zola enjoyed herself, which put our minds completely at ease. The best part was how quickly Zola bonded with Christopher's sweet dog, Dora! They clicked instantly and played happily during her stay. Christopher was super kind and created a safe and fun environment for both of them. Highly recommended!

This is for Christoper S, husband of Gena. Their dog Dory is a lovable dachsund who greets visitors before getting on Christopher's lap or preparing eagerly to go for a walk. Christopher was a great friend to a neighbor's Boston terrier, which often came to the door to ask Chris for a walk. Christopher always complied and misses that invitation now that the neighbors have moved away. Christopher S: dog-lover supreme.
