Chris was so great with our Bowie! This was his first time with him and he was able to meet him prior to our trip! Chris was extremely responsive and gave Bowie a wonderful experience! Was our first time working with him but it won’t be our last! Thank you Chris!

Chris is great! Very prompt with communications. He’s flexible for drop offs and pick up and our pup is well taken care of.

This was our first time using Rover in a couple of years and our first stay with Chris, and we can say with complete confidence that we would absolutely book again. This was a last-minute request over Thanksgiving weekend, and we were heading out on a cruise with no ability to communicate. Chris stepped up without hesitation and took exceptional care of our Heeler, Josey Wales. We have boarded Josey in the past, but those experiences became increasingly stressful for him. He would come home exhausted and withdrawn. With Chris, the difference was immediate and obvious. Josey came home happy, relaxed, and completely himself—no stress behaviors, no lethargy, and no dietary issues. Knowing Josey was safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for gave us complete peace of mind. Chris earned our trust, and we would not hesitate to rebook.

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.
