Testimonials

“We have used Chris for several years now to take care of our dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs and whatever other stray pet has wandered into our lives. I wholeheartedly recommend the service he provides. We had used other pet services prior to Chris, and the difference in the level of service he provides is profound. He is professional, courteous and friendly. He genuinely cares about the pets and provides frequent (but not too frequent) relevant updates. He has been able to take care of our pets when they were sick, or geriatric and required special care. Over the years, we have used other pet sitters, but once we started using Chris, the difference was clear. The dogs in particular seem happier and less anxious when we return home after being looked after by Chris. That is a hard thing to quantify, but it is absolutely true. It is rare to be able to completely endorse any type of service, but with Chris and Whales to Tails, I can easily recommend and endorse him without a single reservation. He’s the best pet sitter we have ever had.”
-Tim Bliss & The Bliss Zoo 🙂

“We were introduced to Chris and NH Dog Training by our vet, and it turned out better than we could have expected. Our family adopted a two year old rescue dog from an out of state agency, and she had developed some bad habits in her early years. Chris came in and quickly assesed the situation and taught us effective methods to better control her impulsive behavior. It was important to us that we could teach her how to be a better dog without taking away the spirit and energy that made her special, and we didn’t want to subject her to physical pain or heavy handed tactics. We saw positive results quickly. In addition to training, Chris was invaluable to us as a dogwalker. As a dog owner, you want to know that your friend is going to be well taken care of. Chris truly loves dogs and gives them the time and attention they need. He sent us pictures during the walk, and gave us updates. There is real peace of mind knowing that your dog is able to burn off some energy and have some fun even if you can’t be there.”
-Doug Reardon & Brooke

“I cannot thank Chris enough for helping me raise my two Bernese Mtn dog puppies. The first week I had them Chris came over and I immediately felt comfortable and at ease with Chris. And, it was very apparent that Chris loved my boys, and they loved him. Chris helped me to raise my boys directly from being on a leash to the necessary commands of sit, stay, look, etc. he was a life saver! And, I felt very much at ease with Chris being at my home without me there.”
-Sally Crocker, Rhone & Lapis
