Highlights
Pet care experience
In Time, On Time, All the Time!
I've had pets my entire life. I take care of large and small dogs and a cat here and there for friends, neighbors and referrals for 2 weeks or less, but I can do longer. Most of my care is due the pet owner going on a vacation. It got started bc I do house sitting and some of them had dogs. That is when I learned that I like dogs more than people most of the time and I mean that in a nice way. I flush every toilet at least every other day and run every sink at least long enough to refresh the p traps. Toilets get flushed, plants watered, I can mow the lawn too. I've handled emergencies before when it was 20 degrees and can shut off water gas power. When you come back to your house it'll be in perfect condition. I may charge more than others but I do a lot more and you can have a lot more trust in me. I'm not new to this. I'm just new to Rover. I take care of my own dogs AKC Doberman Pincher and our loved ditch rescue, got cats, a Rhode Island Red hen and a unclipped Conjure parakeet too. If you need the extras while your gone, let's figure this out bc I do real house sitting and I love pets!

Safety, trust & environment
I like to take care of the pets at your house. I just don't think my big dogs want to share their home. And I think most animals probably would have less stress being at a familiar place, after all there's no place like home. But I can take them for walks if you need me to. I will feed them exactly as you require and if you run out of food I can back you up. Since I am literally safety certified as a technician and a supervisor, I can ensure you that your pet will not be put in harm's way. As a former licensed security operator owner, I have decades of proven honor and dedication to my customers and their homes and belongings. But most importantly I dig dogs and cats so put that first. I honestly would rather meet or talk on the phone first before you pay for anything please. Details matter.
Ratings and reviews
Chris sent us a note asking for a "brief" testimonial but we could write paragraphs about how much we appreciated his loving care of our cats. When our regular sitter cancelled just days before a big trip, we asked around and found Chris. He was not on Rover yet and we feel like we got lucky because he is sure to be super busy as soon as his listing goes live. He is prompt, professional, reasonably priced, and we came back to our obviously well cared for kitties. They're usually stressed when we've been gone for awhile but this time it was different. Thank you Chris!
Chris is an outstanding pet caregiver! He took care of our "not so easy to handle" dogs while we were away and they obviously loved him by the time we returned. He came highly recommended and would add our strong recommendation as well. As a bonus, he was great around our yard and fixed a couple small issues that made our fur babies lives a bit better. Thank you Chris!

Schedule
I am retired from the Security and Safety industries. I have been doing this for friends untill I started getting referrals, but I still have a lot of time left over so I spend it with my big dogs. I love taking care of animals bc they are so appreciative and love back unconditionally. I have selected a relatively small circumference of serviceable homes, so this means you're probably living pretty close to me. I can visit your home 2, 3 or even four times a day. If you really need me to spend the night I can do it. I update my calendar daily and look forward to taking care of my friends and neighbors pets every single day.
