“Chris does such an amazing job with our dog. He's professional, flexible, and SO LOVING of pets. He's thoughtful about temperament when deciding whether and who our dog can walk with. We have occasionally had late changes to our schedule, and Chris has always been incredibly accommodating. I wish I could give Watchdogs more than 5 stars!”

“I cannot say enough kind words about Chris, he is PHENOMENAL going above and beyond. He is amazing with ANY type of dog, and is so caring and genuine.

He puts in the extra effort and attention given to our dogs was second to none. Our dogs loved him so much. Our dogs aren't perfect, but he was so accommodating making sure to help work with them on their skills and even give us updates or details he noticed if there were any issues.

If you are in the JP area, there is no question you should contact Chris at Watchdogs. We were so sad when we moved out of JP, but literally forwarded his contact to anyone we knew who had a dog because we knew he takes the best and quality care for our animals.”

“Chris walked our great dane Milli for several years. Chris is very reliable, neat, timely and professional and we always trusted him in our home and out with our dog.

He gave special attention to ensuring that each walk was an engaging experience for her, whether it was with a game of fetch or tug-of-war at the park or sitting with her inside and giving her attention on days when it was too cold for a full length walk outside.

Most importantly, it was abundantly evident how much Chris truly cared about all of the dogs he walks. This was proven true after our dog's passing when Chris sent us a collection of the pictures and videos he had taken of her during their many years together.”

— Paul, Milli’s dad

I would highly recommend Watchdogs! We were fortunate to meet Chris when we first moved to Jamaica Plain and were looking for someone who had the knowledge and skills to walk our (occasionally difficult) pup. He formed an amazing bond with our dog, was dedicated to her training and exercise, and I loved to see how she was overjoyed when he came to the door every day! Chris also watched our dog at our home for a few overnight trips and we always felt our girl was safe and well-taken care of. He was also kind enough to send pictures and updates which were often the highlight of a long work day!

“Chris has been walking Mercy- a very strong and sweet Bull Mastiff- for several months now and has taken care of her in my home over a long weekend. I couldn’t be happier with his services, and Mercy definitely adores him.

Besides running his business in a well organized and responsive way, he really cares for the animals in his charge and thinks about their particular needs.

I appreciate that Chris let’s me know about anything going on with my dog or any questions he may have... The watchdogs app is great too and makes scheduling walks easy. Highly recommending Chris and his services!”

— Tamara, Mercy’s Mom

“We cannot say enough great things about Chris!! Our French Bulldog, Phyllis, is absolutely smitten with him. Phyllis has a ton of personality and energy, and Chris handles her flawlessly.

She's even more well-behaved on walks these days thanks to Chris! Also, Chris has house/dog sat for us many times and is always a wonderful guest.

He is very respectful, clean, and takes great care of Phyllis. He even goes above and beyond and sends us updates/pictures while we are away! We highly recommend Chris!!!”

“Chris has regularly walked my energetic pup for about 4 years, first as a member of another dog walking business and now via Watchdogs.

He is reliable, responsive, and flexible. Chris truly cares about each and every one of his clients and caters to each dog's individual needs.

My dog was a bit reactive on leash, and through positive reinforcement on walks with Chris, she is now noticeably calmer when she sees other dogs.

I highly recommend Watchdogs!”

— Lindsay, Layla’s Mom

“Chris is AMAZING. Our dog, Jolene, is not an easy dog, but Chris is great with her and she adores him. I don't trust Jolene with many people, but I trust her with Chris. Highly recommend!”

“Chris walked our dog for two years until we moved to a different neighborhood in Boston. Chris was always reliable, responsive, and had the best attitude every day (even in the Winter, somehow).

Our dog is very bonded to us and doesn’t warm up to newcomers easily, but he and Chris became best friends almost immediately, and we noticed that after his walks started up, he seemed even happier and more energetic than before.

If Chris expanded his service area to our current neighborhood we’d get our dog on his schedule immediately.”

“Chris is fantastic. He was our dog walker and overnight dog and cat sitter for years until we moved. He was always reliable for walks: rain or snow. Chris was super dependable and trustworthy for in house pet sitting.

We never worried about the pets or our house when we were out of town. Chris is one of those people who genuinely likes animals- big dogs and even little ones like mine. He also gets that pets have quirks and didn’t even laugh the first time we told him our cat needed multiple glasses of water filled to the brim throughout the house (cats 🤷🏼‍♀️).

Also the house was always super clean when we came back home. I could go on for days but honestly he’s a great guy and I can’t recommend him enough.”
