Information Chris M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to get to know your dog! Before meeting them I would like to know their activity level, dietary preferences/restrictions, and sociability with other dogs, humans, and children.

A typical day

Lots of walks. Love walking to one of the multiple dog parks near our home, I am up early and take a 2 mile walk before I start my day. Then work from home.

Pet care experience

My daughter and I have been doing Rover together for years. This summer, she is home from school at UVA and excited to help out with additional tasks like dog walking and house sitting! We have both had dogs our entire lives, all sizes and life stages. We began Rover in 2019 after losing our 10 yr old black lab to diabetes, looking to keep our home lively. We are both excited to meet your pets and help out!

Chris was patient with my Rottie, especially since he’d only stayed with a boarder before. He adjusted when my dog wasn’t eating normally, which I really appreciated. The photo updates from their walks showed how happy and comfortable he was.

Highly recommend Chris. He’s down to earth and just a good human, as is his daughter who helped out and was just as amazing as her dad. He’s responsive, sends updates, and pays attention to details. Our dogs clearly had a great time. I hope he and his daughter are available the next time we need a sitter, as I don’t really want to leave the dogs with anyone else now.

Chris is the best!! He bought balls to throw with my dog, always takes her on walks, and is so kind to her.

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.
