Information Chris O. would like to know about your pet

Are Dogs cat friendly. How many times a day do you take your dog for walks? How many times a day does your dog usually go out to the bathroom? Does your dog need any Special medications and if so, how often? Where does your dog usually sleep at night? How much does your dog eat and how many times a day? Anything that scares or makes your dog stressed that I should keep them away from?

A typical day

Take a couple of walks around the neighborhood and onto the Pennsy Trail. We can play fetch in the back yard and practice tricks. Dogs are allowed on my couch and bed if they are allowed to at your house.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm and have been around pets my entire life. Recently volunteered at a wildlife rescue sanctuary in Costa Rica full time for a month. Worked at several other sanctuaries and the Hamilton County Humane Society. Love all animals. Respect all living things:-)

It’s always a sense of calm for me when traveling if Chris is watching my cat and dog. They have the best time with Chris while out of town, therefore no stress.

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.
