Information Chris W. would like to know about your pet

Each pet is different but I typically suggest whatever type of bed they prefer, their favorite toys and treats and sometimes it helps to have a blanket or maybe an item of clothing from home to keep them from missing you.

A typical day

I work from home, so I typically do my work as needed. I walk quite a bit each day so your animals will definitely get exercise!

Pet care experience

*** EXCLUSIVE BOOKING ONLY*** I do not take more than one booking at a time. It’s not worth the risk of unacquainted animals not getting along. So your booking would be your pets only during their stay. I’m relatively new to Tucson. I’m a freelance video producer/editor, so I work from home. I recently had to put my staffordshire terrier down and have been looking for a way to ease back into owning an animal. I figured this would be a great way to be around pets without the full commitment it takes to owning a pet again. I grew up around dogs and cats and have used rover before as a customer. I used to have to travel a LOT for work. 30-35 weekends a year on the road. So I boarded my dog, a LOT. It broke my heart to leave her but I felt good knowing the people I left her with were taking care of her like I would. That’s the exact same kid of care you’ll come to expect from me. I need frequent breaks from my desk, so walks and playing are always a matter of moments away. I have a 2 bedroom condo, with a fenced in backyard and a doggie door to get out into the patio. Pets are welcome on the furniture or in bed if that’s what they’re used to. Obviously any dietary restrictions, health needs, walking/grooming habits, favorite toys, best spots to scratch, etc will be considered.

Chris was great with both my dog and my cat. I would highly recommend him for all your pet sitting needs.

Chris was a great sitter for our 16-pound dachshund and 2 indoor cats. He has a fenced yard where our dog could to do her business and he took her for 2 walks a day. The rest of the time she enjoyed chilling on the dog bed next to his desk while he worked. The cats roamed around his place and looked out the windows. Chris sent twice daily updates and photos. He took special care that our cat who tends to try to escape didn’t get out. We will definently use him again.

I had such a great experience leaving my dog with him for the first time for several days. I had previously left her with him for just a couple of hours when she was still a puppy, and it was so nice to see that she actually remembered him when she saw him again. It was very clear that she was well taken care of and truly loved during her stay. When I picked her up, she kept watching him and paying attention to where he was going when he walked away toward his house, which really showed me that she had grown attached to him. He also sent lots of photos and updates, and in every single one she looked so happy and comfortable. My dog required some special care, and he handled everything perfectly — honestly, he took care of her just like I would. I would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their pet.

Chris was the best Rover dog-sitter i have had since i stayed using Rover. He was very friendly, he offered a meet and greet before we came over. He sent updates via text with both photos and videos. He was very quick to respond to my texts and he was extremely flexible with drop-off and pick u times. I highly recommend him and woupd book again with him if i visit Tucson again.

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.
