Dog Loving Professor, Flex Schedule

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Chris. Since I was a kid, I have lived with dogs -- large and small, young and old, outgoing and shy. I currently live in Fall Creek. Having recently moved to Ithaca for work, I am now without any canine companions. I miss having them, and thought Rover.com would be a great way to fulfill my yearning for a dog, while helping others in caring for their pets while the family is traveling or busy at work. I have experience living with and sitting for dogs of all sizes and diverse needs. Having been a Rover sitter for a number of years I come with strong references, and always take the time to learn about you and your pet’s preferences. I am responsible and kind and am available for dog-sitting, dog-walking, and drop in visits. I am a compassionate and friendly sitter, who looks forward to meeting you and your dog and discussing how I can meet the needs of your beloved pet.

Chris made leaving my two dogs easy with his kind personality and way with the dogs. One of my dogs tends to be fearful and slow to warm up with strangers but she took to Chris immediately.

Chris was very accommodating in allowing my cat to board with him for a few nights. Riza seemed very comfortable with him and I'm sure she enjoyed a bit of a vacation as well. Thank you Chris for taking great care of her!

We came home to a calm, happy dog! Chris was great to work with and made the process very easy.

It is evident that Chris has a true love for dogs. This is the first time we left Axel for multiple days and Chris was wonderful! He sent pictures everyday of them playing in the yard or going for one of many walks. He was very reassuring and supportive throughout our time away.
