Pet care experience

Hello! I’m a reliable, responsible and friendly dog sitter in NW D.C. My floor condo unit has direct access to a sprawling backyard and I live within close walking distance to multiple dog parks, walking trails and Rock Creek! I’ve grown up my whole life raising dogs, from terriers to golden retrievers, and I love watching my friends and neighbors' dogs whenever needed.

Chris took great care of Sonny. He and Chester were the perfect companions to keep my shy and anxious pup calm and happy all day long. We will definitely book with Chris again.

Chris was absolutely wonderful with our blind senior dog—he was clearly so happy and comfortable once he came back home. Thanks Chris!

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.
