About: Although I have never officially pet-sat, I have grown up with pets my entire life, giving me firsthand experience in caring for and understanding animals. I am comfortable feeding, playing with, and providing affection to pets, ensuring they feel safe and happy. My deep love for animals makes me attentive, patient, and dedicated to their well-being. Through years of personal experience, I have developed a strong understanding of pet behavior, needs, and care, making me a responsible and compassionate caretaker for any furry friend. Pet care can easily fit into my weekly schedule, as I have Mondays and Tuesdays completely free, allowing ample time for pet sitting, walks, or check-ins. Additionally, I finish work around 3-4 PM on other days, leaving my evenings open for pet care responsibilities. With no other events or commitments, I have the flexibility to dedicate time to feeding, playing, walking, and ensuring pets receive the attention and care they need. My schedule allows me to be reliable and consistent in providing quality pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I will ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved by following their routine as closely as possible. I will provide fresh food and water, take dogs for walks or playtime, clean up after them, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I will also monitor their behavior and well-being, ensuring they are happy and healthy. If needed, I can administer basic care instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

About: I have previous dog daycare and animal shelter experience and have had 2 of my own dogs! I can handle big and rowdy to small and shy, I’ve seen it all! I can provide various services including medication. I’d love to get to know you and your pup! I’m mostly free during the week! College is in the future so I am free to visit your pets! I take care of my kitties everyday and have to give my ferret Smudge medication twice a day! I treat any pet as if they were my own, showered with love! I can provide anything your pet needs from playing to changing their diaper, no limits just ask!
About: I have three cute doggies and a loving cat. I have been taking care of them since I was 21 years old and I am now 34, so I have experience caring for animals. I am currently working full time but am free Thursday evenings through Sunday evenings. I am available to stay overnight on those days or do several check ins during the day. I have a fenced area for my doggies and cat to play, sun bathe and go to the bathroom. I have a scheduled time to feed my cuties.
About: Been caring for animals and loving on them all my life! Have taken care of dogs with seizures and given different kinds of meds to dogs! I’m a ER nurse who works three 12 hr shifts a week and would love to come and visit your pets on my days off! I will not bring any homes into my home. I am good at getting dogs into their crates and keeping an eye on them when outside!
About: I do love pets! I have owned dogs, cats, horses, and a koi pond, aquariums, birds, even lizards and a pet squirrel! My farm background has included cattle and hogs too. My current fur babies are two cats. I do miss having dogs. I've had dogs for 40 years until recently. Now I just love on other peoples dogs! I am also an accomplished gardener and can help with your plant/ garden care while away. I have been to dog obedience, classes, and can help reinforce your pets training. I don't see a place to mark it on this website but I am fine with taking care of your pet bird, pond, aquariums, including exotic fish, horses, cattle and pet pigs. Let me know your preferences on keeping you updated on your pets while away. If I'm feeding your pet, I prefer a meet and greet so you are comfortable and insist on written or texted instructions on your pet's schedule in advance so it's less stressful for your pets. If they are going outside I will want to check out their fenced yard in daylight and go over any concerns for the 5 star sitter experience I offer. Right now I'm offering to walk your pet, in home visits, but I'm not offering to spend the night, or have them here at my house. I work short days 2 days a week in medical care in Sterling, and can help you before, after or lunch breaks. The other 5 days my schedule is open to travel further and to other towns I walk 3-5 miles everyday and enjoy being outside. I'm dialing down my professional work in medicine from full time to parttime to enjoy life a bit more. That is why I am new here at Rover. I can now do more things, and that includes loving more fur babies. I have a rescue cat named Tessa, she's 15 and the most snuggly cat on the planet. We sleep together. She is tiny, but the vets says she's in excellent health with fabulous teeth and labs. My huge cat Rupert is 7 and he was born on a farm, and is hard to photograph here as he covers my whole lap and then some. He has a loud purr and loves to sit a certain way on my lap. My pond is currently healthy and some of the fish are 6 inches long. I had a 3 pound koi who I trained to swim through a hoop. I loved her. Is it possible to love a fish? I did. We have a few horses renting the pasture this year. We used to own and raise gaited horses. I love horses. I think they are good at reading people, and elegant.
About: Ever since I was young, I would take care of animals. I’ve wanted to have a career working with animals for as long as I can remember. Every animal should be cared for with love and affection, from a mastiff to a guppy. They don’t get as much time on this Earth as we do, so we better make it as great as we can for them. I’ll love your animals like they’re my own, and make sure that they feel happy and content while you’re away. Animals, not just doggos, are a joy to have in my life and to care for. Thanks for taking the time to read! If you have any questions, you’re welcome to message me! ❤️ I appreciate you and wish you a great day!
“Chris is an amazing sitter! This was my first time using Rover and he put me right at ease. He took such good care of my kitty and sent me pictures all throughout the stay. He also left my place in great condition and was very flexible with timing. I highly recommend him!”
