Pet care experience

1/4 Acre Backyard for Your Dog!

I have been a pet lover my whole life. Growing up in Ireland, my family always had 8 cats and a big dog so I am well versed in pet care. My family moved to Benicia early 2020. We have a large 1/4 acre lot with a fenced in yard perfect for a dog! Currently, we have a cat (who is not allowed outside) and two young kids. In 2020, I left my job as a metalwork sculptor to take care of my kids full time. I started doing Rover as I'm home most of the time and the kids and I love hanging out with doggies! Your pets will be well taken care of like a member of the family! I have experience taking care of big dogs (100lbs+), small dogs, senior dogs and puppies.

This was the third time Jack stayed with him, and each time has been just as wonderful. Chris is kind, attentive, and thoughtful, and he always kept me updated with photos and messages. It meant so much to know Jack was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Chris again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and loving care.

Is your pet good with kids? I have two young kids and their safety is my first priority. Does your pet have any tendency to nip or bite? Does your pet suffer separation anxiety?
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.
