Pet care experience

Hi there...thanks for checking out my Rover profile! A little bit about me... I've been around animals all my life-- had dogs, cats, birds and bunnies growing up and have been caring for family and friends cats and dogs for years. About a year and half ago I got my very own puppy dog. Elliott, named after 2 of my favorite movies. Elliott and I love making new fur friends. And whether it's both of us or just me we will take great care of your furry family member while you're away.. We have a flexible schedule, love long walks, playing fetch, or just hanging out watching TV . Whatever your pet's favorite things to do! When I'm not hanging out with Elliott, I'm pursuing acting and improv. Under special skills on my acting resume it says 'animals and kids love me' and they do! Spending time and taking care of your pet, in a fun and safe way, putting their humans mind at ease while away is the best 'day job' ever(and night). I look forward to meeting your four legged family member and making lots of new fur friends! Contact me with any questions...

Chris was great with my cat. She sent detailed notes after each visit along with pictures. My cat was a bit sick so Chris took extra care for her, turning on the humidifier when needed. I appreciate Chris accepting my request and taking good care of my cat Josie :)

Very thorough updates and quick responses. Very patient with Bug and I as we were smoothing out the creases during the first day of check-ins. Bug was happy when I came home but I think even happier that he had a great sitter while I was away. Would book again!!
