Pet care experience

Canton Dog Owner

I live with my partner in a typical Canton row house with our dog Mikkah. I grew up with dogs in the house, and have been caring for my own dog for the past year since her adoption. I know how great it is to have your dog cared for in someone's home rather than a kennel, so I wanted to be not just a Rover customer, but also a Rover caregiver. I have the flexibility to work at home, so your dog will have plenty of company. Your dog will join in with walks with Mikkah around the Canton neighborhood, which are typically 3 times a day. Our house is within walking distance of O'Donnell Square, Patterson Park, and the Canton Waterfront Park I love to give dogs a thorough play time in the house with their favorite toys.

Chris was willing to do two meet and greets on short notice, Oakley and Mikkah got along, and I would have him watch Oakley again!

Chris did a great job taking care of my dog for the night!! He was very flexible and was able to change the pick up time for me because plans changed which was helpful! My only criticism is that he only sent one update after I asked and I would have liked to at least gotten an update before bed and in the morning so I knew how she was doing. Other than that he did great!

If you are looking for a great person to take care of your pets, look no further than Chris. Not only is he a good human friend, he's a great friend to animals too. With his sweet dog Mikkah, I have seen how reliable, responsible, caring, and kind Chris truly is. Mikkah never chooses to be far from Chris - her love for him is clear as day. I have also never known anyone who has trained their dog to perform so many tricks -- truly a testament to his dedication and connection with Mikkah. His rapport with animals is not just limited to dogs - he is one of my kitten's favorite visitors. When he visits, my kitten runs up to him within seconds. My cat always looks forward to playing with Chris. While you are away, Chris will make sure your pet pal(s) are comforted and cared for but also prevent them from getting into any mischief. With Chris, you can rest assured that you're pets are in good paws.

Is your dog house trained? (potty trained a must) How does your dog get along with other dogs (in the house, and on walks)? Dogs get along with some dogs but not others for all different reasons. If you'd like a meet and greet with your dog and mine before arranging a stay, let me know!
