Safety, trust & environment

I am sure to follow directions and ask questions if I am ever unclear. I also understand the amount of trust placed on sitters to take care of your home and your fur baby so I, of course, treat both the clients’ home and pets with respect. When I am boarding a pet, I do require a cage or crate where they can safely stay in case I am cleaning around my apartment, need to pop out for a bit, or am in a work meeting. I always like to have eyes on the pets and prefer to have them somewhere where I know they will be safe!

Information Chinwe N. would like to know about your pet

I like to know about any fears when it comes to thunder/rainstorms and if any precautions need to be taken. I also like to know about leash behavior-- just knowing if I can expect tugging or chasing after squirrels, cars, other dogs, or bikes (lol) so I can be sure to have the most secure grip during walks. Even the small things are good to know, like tricks they can do, their favorite toy, or how they prefer meals to be served. The more information the better!

A typical day

On a typical day, I would wake up and take a dog on a walk then feed them. There are two fenced in dog parks in my building with turf! In the afternoon, I like to try and play fetch or tug and if I have time on my lunch breaks, I will take pets to the dog park to get out their zoomies. In the evenings, it will likely be meal time again and I will walk them around my neighborhood. If approved by the pet parent, I will sometimes take a special trip to starbucks and get pup cups for pets or take a nice stroll by the inner harbor-- there is so much to smell over there!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Chinwe-- I also go by CJ :) I am an RN who currently works part time. Over the past 10 years, I have taken care of cats and dogs over night with instructions from friends and family members and I have really enjoyed it! I always keep treats on hand, I try to send as many pictures and videos as possible, and I always reach out with questions since I know every pet is different.

CJ was an awesome sitter! Communication was great—we got lots of updates and photos. Our dog, Rocky, got lots of snuggles and adventures (pretty sure he had way more fun with CJ and her boyfriend than he does at home with us 😂). We were able to relax on vacation knowing that Rocky was well cared for. Would definitely book again.

Chinwe has a great attitude and is easy to work with. My shy toy poodle, Coco, opened up to her quickly and enjoyed her timely and cheerful check-ins. The pictures she provided during the daily report cards exceeded our expectations and went a long a way in giving us piece of mind that Coco was cared for during our time away.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
