I recently had the pleasure of having Chris as my dog sitter through Rover, and I must say, his service was exceptional. Chris demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to his work. On the day he was scheduled to arrive, there was a major traffic incident that could have easily deterred anyone. However, Chris demonstrated remarkable dedication by staying in traffic for hours to reach my house. This level of commitment is rare and highly appreciated, especially considering the unpredictable nature of such incidents. Throughout the sitting period, Chris was attentive and communicative, frequently sending updates along with delightful pictures and videos of my dog. During our initial meet and greet, Chris's attention to detail was evident. He took the time to understand my dog's routine, preferences, and any special care instructions, ensuring a seamless and comfortable experience for my pet in my absence. His ability to focus on these details and adapt to my dog's needs was impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend Chris to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. His ability to go above and beyond in his service is truly commendable. My dog had a fantastic time under his care, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such capable hands.

If you are looking for a responsible, knowledgeable and caring pet care giver / house sitter, look no further than Chris. He has the deep respect of the pet owners that he works with and especially the dogs that are in his care. He is creative with his hikes and walks with the dogs in his care and truly puts himself in the eyes of the dog to ensure a best experience for the client's pet. I have hired Chris as both a pet sitter and a house sitter for the care of my pets and my home while I am on business or personal travel. It gives me incredible peace of mind that both my dog, cat and home are being taken care of. Chris treats my pets and home as if it is his own, with care and attention. I look forward to my next trip knowing that Chris will be caring for my pets and my home until I return. I highly recommend him!

Chris's communication was prompt and thorough, ensuring I felt at ease throughout the process. He went above and beyond to understand my pet's needs and provided regular updates that showcased their happiness. Chris's knowledge and experience with animals were impressive, and he created a safe and nurturing environment. I highly recommend Chris as a reliable and caring pet sitter, and I'm grateful to have found someone I can trust with my pet's well-being.
