Experienced, reliable, and kind

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. Since retiring I’ve been dog/cat/critter sitting/walking and caring, full time, and I love it. I will not disappoint you or your loved ones. I promise to treat your pets like they are my own.

Chris is an amazing, trustworthy, and compassionate pet-sitter! She spends time with each of our critters, even taking time to learn personalities. Kittens receive extra playtime and even coaching (staying off kitchen counters!). We have quite a variety of animals and Chris loves and takes care of each of them. She goes above and beyond to help us out!

Chris is a compassionate animal lover and caregiver. I have trusted her with my doggo many times and he enjoys his visits with his fuzzins in the mountains. Chris provides custom care/schedules for her clients and their parents! Chris is willing to hear your requests and learn all about your pet’s habits,needs and quirks. She is reliable and keeps to the schedule you set up with her. She will show your pet the same love and enthusiasm she has for her own. She has lots of experience with her own pets over the years and can be trusted to note any changes in moods or behaviors and will let you know of any issues. Chris is also flexible if changes arise. Rover and their clients will be lucky to have her as a pet caregiver.

Chris has been a tremendous blessing for us since our last pet sitter retired. She loves our girls; we receive pictures and regular updates. If there are any changes, she is quick to check in and ask questions. Chris communicates promptly, professionally, and even checks in on our arrival at home. On animals that require medications: One cat takes a morning med and both get evening medicine with food. She even managed to get meds in our other girl who (I forgot) hates taking pills. Chris has also taken care of our large dog when she needed walks / outdoor & play time, and meals. In a time when many expect more and offer less, Chris is a rose among thorns.

Chris is an exceptional pet sitter and I cannot recommend her enough! She is a true animal lover. We have two large dogs, and one is extremely timid/barks as strangers. She was very patient in establishing trust with him, and now walks/socializes him regularly. She has also house sat for us and cared for our cats as well, and we trust her fully in our home. She has great communication and is extremely reliable. And most importantly, our pets love her!
