Pet care experience

Furbaby Fitness

Being a pet parent for 25 years has brought me such joy and taught a substantial amount of patience. I have a true passion for caring for animals. Finding someone to look after a pet who is really a part of the family can be daunting but it doesn't have to be. Each animal in my care will be treated with the utmost respect and care whether they need a rigorous workout, a relaxed walk, or simple companionship. I'm used to adjusting walks according to each pet's needs and having worked with a groomer plus my own personal experience, have handled seniors, aggressive breeds, and disabilities. Allow me to give your babies all the love and exercise they need in a fun, safe, one on one focused environment.

Chris does great with my bossy dachshund. She has been very helpful while he's been on limited activity due to a back injury. He says she gives the best belly rubs!

This girl is definitely what I expect from a Rover Sitter when it comes to my dog. Chris leaves the perfect amount of pictures and the best note description of her visit with my dog. Diamond in the rough! Thanks, Chris!

Any bad habits? Aggression issues? Triggers? Insecurities? Health concerns? I’ve likely encountered it and do not turn away a client due to any aforementioned issues. Building a true trust and bond between myself, pets, and their parents is essential to a positive experience though so don’t hesitate to put the information out there.
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.
