About
Greetings! My name is Chris, with a long and fulfilling career in law enforcement, my proudest years were spent as a dedicated canine handler. I’ve had the privilege of traveling extensively—both domestically and internationally—with my canine partner, gaining invaluable firsthand experience in ensuring an animal’s comfort, safety, and emotional well-being while on the move. I am deeply aware of how travel can affect an animal’s mental health, and I make every effort to create a calm, stress-free journey for every pet in my care. Communication, transparency, and integrity are the pillars of how I operate. I keep pet owners informed at every step of the trip, so they know exactly where their companion is and how they’re doing. My reputation is built on trust, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. To ensure the highest level of care, I limit each trip to one pet at a time. This means your companion receives my undivided attention throughout the journey, minimizing stress and providing the safest, most comfortable environment possible. In addition to pet transport, I own and operate a successful dog boarding business where I’ve had the pleasure of working with all breeds, each with unique needs and personalities. My boarding philosophy is simple: a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment tailored to the pet’s well-being. As a professional pet photographer, I also offer each transport client a complimentary photoshoot of their pet—complete with all edited images—as a special keepsake. When you hire me, you’re not just paying for safe transportation. You’re investing in the knowledge, skill, and reputation of a seasoned handler who brings years of professional animal care experience, a deep understanding of canine behavior, and a genuine passion for their happiness and safety.

An Absolutely Exceptional Experience with Pupcation! 🐾❤️ WOW! I am absolutely blown away by Pupcation and Chris! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this experience. I am extremely particular about who I entrust with my three Dalmatians, especially when it involves traveling across the country. But from my very first conversations with Chris, even before booking, I felt an incredible sense of peace and confidence. His professionalism, thoughtful responses, and attention to detail immediately set him apart. Throughout the entire journey, Chris went above and beyond. He provided live location tracking, access to a video feed, frequent updates, and the most breathtaking photographs of my dogs along their adventure. Not once did I feel the need to constantly check in or wonder how they were doing. That level of trust and peace of mind is truly priceless. What impressed me most was Chris’s ability to understand and accommodate each of my dogs’ individual personalities and needs. One of my Dalmatians requires a little extra consideration due to his reactivity, and Chris handled everything with such confidence, patience, and expertise. It was clear that all three were not only exceptionally well cared for but genuinely enjoying themselves! And the photography? UNBELIEVABLE! The images he captured look like they belong in a professional outdoor lifestyle campaign. He somehow turned a cross-country transport into a beautiful adventure filled with memories I’ll treasure forever. Chris has an extraordinary combination of skill, compassion, professionalism, and natural talent. You can tell this is more than a business to him. He is truly operating in his calling. The care he puts into every detail speaks volumes about the person he is and the standard of service he provides. My dogs arrived happy, relaxed, and clearly adored. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Pupcation to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their beloved pets. Chris has set an incredibly high standard, and I’m already looking forward to working with him again when my pups are ready for their next Pupcation to a new destination! Thank you, Chris, for an unforgettable experience! ❤️🐾

Chris is the guy you want to drive your pup long distances. Not only is he extremely efficient and professional, but he’s also an obvious dog lover who quickly bonded with my pup on their coast-to-coast trip from DC to LA. I don’t think you’ll find a better experience anywhere, from the live stream to the regular status updates, not to mention the wonderful professional photos—Pupcation is unmatched. Look no further.

What a wonderful experience this was for my dog! He was extremely comfortable with Chris. My older dog had no stress at all from CA to TX. We could see where they were the whole time and Chris was good at keeping us updated throughout the whole trip. Chris took a ton of amazing photos that we will cherish for a life time. If I could give Chris 10 stars I would. Excellent Job!!!! Dobie has a new Friend for life.

Chris was absolutely amazing! We couldn’t be happier with how smooth the entire process went. Chris transported our new 3 month old kitten, Silk, from Maryland to Connecticut on a solo ride. He was professional, dependable, calm and considerate. We felt we could trust him right away. We were so nervous using a transporter for the first time, trusting a stranger with our new kitten made me really anxious, but Chris’ transparency was very reassuring. He gave us multiple updates, live video monitoring, tracking, and even beautiful professional photo updates of Silk through a password protected website, plus a complimentary photo gallery of all the images he shot during their trip! We knew Silk was safe and well cared for, and that peace of mind was absolutely worth it. On top of all that, his pricing was excellent and he was punctual, quick to respond and reliable throughout. He asked questions about our kitten ahead of pickup and even made accommodations for Silk to have the most comfortable ride possible with a spacious cat playpen that had an attached litter box tent and toys, it was an amazing travel setup, and he made the drive in excellent time! Our breeder met him at pickup and she was so impressed with him, the travel setup and his tracking technology that she’ll now be recommending him for her other families too. This was our first experience with a pet transporter service and it really couldn’t have gone any better. We’ll definitely use Chris again in a heartbeat and will recommend him to everyone we can! Thank you so much, Chris! We truly appreciate your service 🤍

Absolutely exceptional in every way. Communication was consistent throughout the process, and the planning was seamless. Rhona bonded with Chris immediately, and he created a fast, safe, and enjoyable experience for her (as well as for all of us watching the journey online, thanks to the intelligent and user-friendly technology Chris provides). Chris is a true gentleman with a remarkable talent for working with dogs. Thank you, Chris!

Chris was exceptional during this whole process. He took excellent care of my dog and my kitten during the cross country trip. His professionalism and experience working with K9s was valued. He provided updates often and even some road trip photos along the way! My mind was at easy knowing my animas were in great hands. He truly deserves more than a 5 star rating and I highly recommend him!

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Pupcation did an amazing job transporting my dog on a 17-hour drive. Pickup was right on time, and Chris, the driver was extremely knowledgeable about dogs—especially large breeds, which was important since my dog is over 100 pounds. The service was 1-on-1, which was very important to us as this prevented a stressful journey for our dog. Chris was professional, kind, and trustworthy, and I felt completely safe putting my dog in his care. Throughout the trip, we received regular updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. We look forward to receiving photos from a complimentary photo shoot of our dog. I can’t say enough great things about the service we received. Truly exemplary and greatly, greatly appreciated.

We are so thrilled that we hired Chris (Pupcation LLC) to do a white glove pick up and delivery of our cat, "Little Baby", half way across the country. From the day we hired him through pick up, in transportation and after delivery his service went above and beyond our wildest expectations. He made an effort to involve us prior to pick up with all pertinent questions being asked and answered in both directions. He was timely in his pick up, made arrangements for Little Baby to be totally comfortable in his vehicle, and had many options to keep us informed of where he was at any moment on the trip and let us view, Little Baby should we desire. He made stops every two hours to give our cat a chance to relieve and eat. Contacted the end party where he was and when he would get there. LITERALLY FOLKS this was beyond white glove if that is possible. I do know that 5 stars is not nearly enough to express how we feel this entire transaction went. THANK YOU CHRIS!!
