"I am so glad we found Chris to take care of our two dogs, Jamie a 5 yr old Maltese and Jamie a 9 month old Jack Russell mix. My dogs are my babies so of course I wanted to leave them with a kind and experienced pet sitter. We met Chris a few months prior to our vacation and as soon as I saw how comfortable the dogs were at Chris's home, and how comfortable they were with him. I knew we found the person we wanted to care for our dogs in our absence. Our dogs stayed with Chris for 9 days while we were away on vacation. I would text Chris to find out how they were, and he always responded very quickly. When we picked them up they were happy, playful, and clean Chris had all of their belongings packed up neatly and waiting for us. I will leave our dogs with him without any worries at all. Chris was very kind and caring towards our dogs. If you need a pet sitter or a great place to board your dog. I highly recommend Chris!" Eileen- East Brunswick, NJ. 10/23/11

"We were so thrilled to find Chris when we moved to Monmouth County! Our dogs are 14 years old and like children to us, so finding someone so caring and attentive is very important. Our one dog Belle is incredibly difficult with new people, but took to Chris immediately I was amazed! The aggression just isn't there with Chris around and she was sitting in his lap in about 5 minutes! His experience speaks for itself. We love the updates while we are away so we don't have to worry when we are on vacation. Teddy and Belle are both happy when we get home. Thanks Chris!" Sonja- Red Bank, NJ. 8/15/2011

" Chris took excellent care of our Golden Retriever, cat, and fish while we were away. It was such a comfort to know I didn't have to worry about them. The daily updates were great and Chris even sent us pictures. Our dog was relaxed when we got home. Our cat who normally hides when people come to the house made friends with Chris much to our surprise! I would highly recommend Chris, I just wish I had found him sooner! Liz-Fair Haven, NJ 5/11/11

"Our dogs Chloe and Clyde are 10 years old with special health needs. We always had family members taking care of them when we vacationed. This year it became necessary to find an alternative solution. We looked at boarding kennels and soon realized that the attention they needed would not be available. We found Chris's Dog Service online and decided to use Chris after meeting with him and taking our dogs to his house for a visit. Chris turned out to be a lifesaver for us! We were gone 10 days and any anxiety we had about leaving them was laid to rest by Chris staying in contact with us via email. We were suprised how fast our dogs adjusted staying with Chris. He has so much experience and knowledge caring for dogs. From the pictures Chris took of our dogs, we know they were given the same love and attention they would have received at home. Chole and Clyde have a new best friend in Chris. We know that our future vacations will not be worrisome. They are in the best of care!!" Carol and Nick 3/26/11 Long Branch NJ

"We have a two year old Jack Russell Terrier who was recently rescued from a shelter and I was concerned about leaving him at a kennel during a trip I was taking at Christmas out of state. Thankfully I found Chris's Dog Care Service. Chris cared for Jaxx in the personal environment of his home and gave him very personalized care and training he would never of received at a kennel facility. I never worried about a thing leaving Jaxx for the long vacation. Chris has a backyard that is very secure for dogs and I felt he would be safe at Chris's home. Jaxx felt right at home with Chris and I had a relaxing vacation knowing that Jaxx was in the best of hands and receiving the best of care!" Cynthia- Keansburg, NJ 1/5/11

"Chris is a great dog sitter we could not have been happier! While my husband was deployed to the Middle East, I was able to take my baby home to Arizona for a month and spend time with family. Both of our dogs loved Chris and his home where they were boarded. I didn't have to worry about them at all and could just enjoy my time. One of our dogs, Stuart has a serious heart condition and does not eat enough without coaxing. Chris was very attentive, watching for any signs of illness and making sure Stuart didn't skip any meals. He took time to hand feed him his food to make sure he ate! When I came back both dogs were happy and healthy and Stuart even put on a few pounds and looked great! Thank you Chris!" Claire and Cameron- Cherry Hill, NJ 12/17/10

We have two dogs, a Standard Poodle and a Maltese. We had used the same pet sitter/dog walker since we have had the older dog (Poodle) for ten years. About a year ago our sitter had left the area. We then tried about six different kennels and pet sitters, but our dogs did not fare well at all and did not like going back to or having these pet sitters care for them. We could plainly tell our dogs were not happy when we returned from our trips. Then we were so lucky to have found Chris! He took care of our dogs for three weeks in his home, and he really knows dogs so well and he took such great care of them! He knew from his experience how to accommodate two very different dogs one ten years old and the other eighteen months! He even took his own time and without charging us to train the younger Maltese better. He was so good with our dogs they were reluctant to come home with us! The next time we left them there just recently they just dragged me to his front door. They know his house and the great care and love they receive from Chris. He goes out of his way like no other pet sitter I have ever used and he is a wonderful trainer. Sammy our younger dog is always better behaved each time when he comes home with us. Chris also comes to our home to walk our dogs when we need him from time to time. Thank you Chris!! Van R. Long Branch, NJ 10/21/10

"Chris has been taking care of my two Greyhounds Bella and Erika for some time now. He gives them daily walks and always lets me know what's going on with them. He let's me know if they have done their business and also if there are any issues. Bella is 13 and has trouble with stairs so he makes the extra effort to help her up and down the stairs for each walk. He has always been available for extra walks on short notice and I have also left my girls in his care overnight. The girls are always happy and excited to see him and my neighbors say he is very patient and gives them a nice long walk. The most important thing is that by using Chris's services, I have peace of mind that my dogs are in great care" Liz- Sea Bright, NJ 9/5/2010

"Chris's Dog Care Service came to my rescue when I needed a few days of dog care for my two dogs, Teddy and Emma. My dogs have never been left at a boarding facility since I've had them. I'm sure they would have been frightened and stressed and Emma, a former shelter dog does not always get along with other dogs. Luckily and thankfully I found Chris's appealing website online for caring for Teddy and Emma. After meeting him, I felt immediately reassured that my dogs were in good hands and he understood all of my concerns. He even texted me everyday I was away to let me know all was well. When I came back to pick them up the dogs were fine and relaxed. I definitely recommend Chris's Dog Care Service and plan on using him for my next trip! Now my only concern is that my dogs may not want to leave his house and come home!" Karen A.- 8/13/2010 Bradley Beach, NJ

"We went away for a week and left our miniature poodle Milou with Chris. Chris was very professional and always responded to our calls and emails immediately. He made arrangements to meet with us prior to our trip so I was assured Milou would be comfortable. While we were away Chris sent us text messages with updates about what and how Milou was doing. It was nice to know Milou was taken care of so well while we were away. I trust Chris showed my dog a really great time as they toured around Fair Haven where he lives. I actually think it ended up being a great vacation for Milou! Thank you Chris we will definitely use you again in the future!! Sincerely, Janet S." Jersey City, NJ. 7/20/10

"Chris took extremely good care of Quincy our 5 yr old Boston Terrier. Now Quincy is not an ordinary dog- he is a "special needs" dog who has had bi weekly seizures over the last 4 years and has to take over 10 pills a day. The fact he is a "special needs" dog had curtailed our travel plans for a long time, but when we had to go abroad for a family emergency we left Quincy under Chris's care for two weeks. Chris took excellent care of Quincy administered all his medications on time, gave him plenty of exercise and affection and was prepared to handle any seizures. In addition he gave us periodic updates which were very important to us. When we returned Quincy was in excellent sprits all thanks to Chris. As a loving pet owner Quincy is part of the family and we are very happy with Chris's care of Quincy, and really appreciate the extra effort he put in to accomodate Quincy's condition. It is a great relief for us to know that we can leave Quincy with Chris, and be assured he is in good hands and in a safe enviornment. Chris thanks a lot again!!" Shannon and George A.- Princeton, NJ. 7/2/2010

"After leaving our very hyper German Shepherd dog for 12 days with Chris at our home, we returned to find a very happy, contented, relaxed dog and we don't know how to thank him for a job well done! He also looked after our home and that worked out great as well. We can't imagine leaving Shelby with anyone else when we travel! Chris is extremely professional, reliable, consistent, and has an amazing ability to communicate with dogs. From the moment he met Shelby, she respected his authority and he has taught us how to be better dog owners! We would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to have their pet become a better more relaxed dog. Chris doesn't dog sit...he takes your dog into his heart and really goes the distance to get the most out of her! Thanks Chris" Barbara- Locust, NJ. 6/27/2010

"Jake our 13 year old spaniel mix loves his family and his home, however visitors are another story. After trying 3 unsuccessful dog walkers, we just about gave up until we finally found Chris. Chris has a great deal of patience and was eventually able to get in the front door! Thanks to Chris Jake is now able to go for a walk during the day and we don't have to rearrange our work schedules to rush home in order to take him out! Thank you Chris, and Jake thanks you too!" Sherri and Russell F.- Middletown, NJ. 5/16/2010

"Chris was great with my dog Maxie we were gone for a week on vacation and prior to finding Chris's Dog Care Service I put her up at a boarding facility name not mentioned and when I got her back I noticed she was very hyper and just not herself. When Chris took care of her at his home Maxie got the royal treatment! She was walked 3 times per day sometimes 4 he did a little training with her and now she behaves so much better. He is truly wonderful with dogs I think he is just as good as Cesar Millan maybe better! Chris goes out of his way to keep your pet happy. His rates were lower than other services. I am definitely using Chris's Dog Care Service for now on he's the best!" Karen- Marlboro, NJ 4/25/2010

"We hired Chris just recently to watch our 3 small dogs while we were away for a few days. I was extremely worried about leaving them as they had always stayed with family or traveled with us. I wanted to ensure they had the best care possible while we were gone. When we first contacted Chris we liked him right away- he was professional and responded to us immediately. He confirmed all appointments and made sure every detail regarding times, dates, and arrangements were addressed so there were no last minute suprises. He came to the house to meet us and the dogs and immediately gave us a sense of confidence with his calm demeanor and ability to go with the flow as dogs can be unpredictable sometimes. Our dogs took to him immediately. He listened to our concerns and was willing to work with us for whatever was needed. While we were away, he provided us with updates that made us feel comfortable that all was well with the dogs he kept at his residence. When we came home the dogs were happy and well cared for. I swear they are better behaved when on the leash as well! I am so glad that we have found Chris and intend to use his services more in the future! I would recommend him to anyone." Tara- Middletown, NJ. 4/5/2010

" I couldn't be happier! When I came home after a 5 day trip my dogs were calmer, were walked often, and were trained better than when I left. I was very relaxed on my trip knowing that my dogs and house were being very well cared for by a true professional. I look forward to a great working relationship with Chris so I can travel." Kate- Fair Haven, NJ 4/5/2010

"I was in dire need of someone to watch my lab mix puppy. I had to leave for a weekend of work and needed to find someone to watch Kellie for the weekend. The problem was it was already Thursday night. I found Chris online and emailed him at midnight, and much to my surprise he responded in ten minutes. Everything worked out just fine and his rates were lower than other pet sitting services. I will without a doubt recommend Chris for dog sitting." Dave- 2nd LT AD US ARMY Eatontown, NJ 2/18/2010

"I first called Chris for help as I was in tears. I have a 13 week old Siberian Husky puppy and we just moved to a new place and she would not go potty outside no matter what I did. I was exhausted from taking her out every hour and she wouldn't go outside for SIX days straight. She would go as soon as we got inside the apartment and I was going out of my mind. Chris took the time to take my nearly hysterical call and gave me advice on the phone, but also followed up with an email of instructions without us ever meeting and without charging me. I hired Chris to come train my dog and after the first session, she was already different. She was more calm to walk. We now have 4-5 sessions under our belt and it's like I have a new dog. Smokey loves when he comes, and is eager to learn and please him, and then me. Chris is knowledgeable, patient, and kind to dogs. He truly has a passion for what he does." Gianna- 1/28/2010 Long Branch, NJ

"Tyson started training with Chris a little over a week ago and I see huge improvements in the crate training and housebreaking of my 12 week old puppy.

" I was very happy with Chris's Dog Care Service. My dog Jewel had a great stay over at Chris's home. I was able to drop her off Christmas night at my convenience. I will definitely use Chris's Dog Care Service again soon in the future!" Bob Freehold, NJ 12/29/2009

"We often travel with our dog so leaving him behind was going to be difficult. But thanks to Chris it was easy. We dropped of Jagger with his crate and he instantly felt comfortable with Chris and his surroundings. Chris's thoughtful email the next day confirmed that we had made the right decision. Thanks to Chris's Dog Care Service we all had a wonderful weekend. We will definitely use Chris's services again." Bob and Sue- Red Bank, NJ. 12/09
