Safety, trust & environment

I am able to stay in your home while you are away to care for any pets as needed. I generally work 11am to 7pm but can stop in throughout the day to make sure whatever schedule we discuss can happen to ensure your pets get the care and attention they need. I also have over 20 years of experience with exotic animals so any additional animals such as birds, reptiles, small mammals, invertebrates and fish will be cared for at the same rates.

Information Chris N. would like to know about your pet

Amount of leash training the dog has and what type of walk you prefer, strict with healing etc or nonchalant with the dogs being allowed to explore and sniff at their leisure.

A typical day

Most dogs just want to explore their neighborhood and check out all the smells nearby. If there is a park or hiking trails nearby I always try to mix it up with some off sidewalk exploring as well.

Experienced Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Chris. I am an animal lover of all types. I have owned dogs my entire life and love any dog out there. I am an avid hiker and would be able to do neighborhood walks with your dog or take them on more of an adventure on a full hike. I work flexible hours and can fit you in any time of day. I am also available for overnight stays in your home to care for your little fur baby when you are away. Feel comfortable with your home not being empty while you are away and having a companion for your pets at the same time. I am available anytime and would love to meet your furry friend. Thank you

Chris keeps you informed on his stay with your pup and takes great care of them! My dog always settles quickly with him.

Chris was an overall wonderful and communicative dog walker for us. Went on a 7 day trip and Chris made sure our frenchie was cared for, fed, walked and even got his prescription medicine.

Chris is great with my big golden retriever Liberty. He is dependable and able to focus on any areas of improvement. Since Liberty is still a puppy, it takes patience and persistence to help the dog. Chris does both, and well !

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.
