Pet care experience

Dogs will be treated like royalty!

I am a fun loving, energetic and responsible nurturer with lots of love to give! I have had dogs my entire life (boxers, soft coated Wheaton terriers, poodles, yorkies, bichons, etc.) and recently lost my Wheaton terrier Sammy at 13. Your dog will receive three-four walks a day, trips to nearby parks and playtime in between. Nothing makes me happier than caring for dogs (I can dispense all meds) and getting unconditional love in return! And I give an excellent tummy rub! ***Overnight rate is based on a 24 hour day. Any partial day is prorated.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently do NOT board dogs since my husband works from home. In a client's home I want to follow the routines the dog(s) are most comfortable with..

Chris is great with our dogs. She stayed with our dogs and gave them great care. Chris is trustworthy, reliable and very good with dogs. Our dogs were very happy with Chris which gave us peace of mind while traveling. I highly recommend Chris!!!

Chris was great. We have a very elderly dog named Rocky who needed companionship and someone to give him his medicine twice a day while we were out of town. Chris came to visit several times prior to our departure to make sure Rocky was comfortable with her. She stayed at our home, and not only cared for the dog, but also made sure our plants were watered and our mail was brought in. She left the house immaculate, and provided great reports on how Rocky was doing.

Chris, thank you for walking and taking care of cooper. I appreciate the reports and pictures. Our first meeting went great and I knew he’d be happy in your care. Thank you for your prompt arrivals and excellent care of my Cooper!

This is the 2nd time Chris watched my dog in my home. She is absolutely loving and reliable. I never have to worry that my fur baby is well taken care of. Will definitely book her again.

Chris was terrific. She stayed at my house for 4 days, watching my pets. She did a great job taking care of them both, and making them happy. When we got back home, the house was in perfect order just as I had left it. And the pets were sorry to see her leave. That is a good thing. ???

Chris took such great care of our dog. She is so careful with how she treats an animal. She is full of compassion and does what she has agreed to do.

Schedule

Pet care is what I love and all I do! While house sitting, I consider your home “home base” and stay there the majority of the day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Chris can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would like to know everything; their habits, idiosyncrasies, where/how they like to be petted, any medical conditions, how they usually handle different situations, what commands they know,etc. A good friend of mine calls me a dog "whisperer". I've been told that dogs returning to my care start wagging their tails and get excited when they realize I am coming back to them! Each dog/cat I come to know becomes like extended family.
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.
