Pet care experience

Caring Westerville Animal Parent

Ever since I was a kid, I have had an unwavering passion for helping animals. For example, whenever I would go to a party, I would lay down with the family dog or play with the resident cat. Many of my friends call me an animal whisperer because I naturally connect with dogs and cats. I am extremely patient with all animals and will attend to their needs. We recently said goodbye to an 11-year old Great Dane/Pyr who required a lot of special needs. I am able to care for young puppies and kittens up to senior cats and dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to follow the exact directions provided by the client, such as feeding instructions, walking instructions, and acclimating myself to the pet. I make sure to give the pet space and let them decide when they feel safe. For example, we recently adopted kittens and gave them 6 weeks of time before introducing them to our other pets.

This was our first experience using Rover, and we are so glad that Chris accepted our job. He was amazing! Always on time, very communicative with pictures, summaries of how our cat was doing, and pertinent information; he was also willing and able to adjust real time based on our needs. He went above and beyond to help with anything and everything that came up, and we are so grateful! It made a big difference in our ability to enjoy our time away that we knew our cat was in such kind and capable hands. Thank you, Chris! We would love to see you again sometime.
