Aspiring Dog Trainer
Pet care experience
I’ve had 15 years of experience looking after dogs. I’ve had to administer meds and house trained dogs of all ages. I’m currently enrolled in the Karen Pryor Academy to one day hopefully become a professional dog trainer. And while I will be the primary caregiver for your dog pal anytime they stay here, my fiancé Sarah will also be here to assist. My love for animals knows no bounds.

Christian has come in handy on various occasions. My husband and I work both nights, so Christian walks our puppy Lady during the evenings. He puts my mind at ease by sending me cute little videos of her on her walks while I'm at work, and always sends me a text letting me know that he has walked her.
As many people know, people care for their animals very deeply. I am no exception to that. Well, having to take an unexpected work trip I was left in the position of needing to find somebody I trusted enough to watch and care for my dog while I was away for a few days. It was short notice and my normal go to sitters were busy. I was discussing my dilemma with a friend of mine and she suggested I looked on Rover. There I found Christian! We were discussing Panda (my loveable and often to jump happy 75 lb pup) while making arrangements. We also discussed Panda's hesitance on returning when he decided he was having too much fun in the backyard. Christian gave me some advice to help curb these less than desirable behaviors and said he would work with him while I was away. It was just the weekend (Friday, Saturday, and until late Sunday) but much to my surprise even though he was excited to see me, Panda did not jump on me when I returned home! He also worked with Panda to return when called and that was greatly improved! He then gave me advice on how to continue the training with Panda and worked with me for a bit to demonstrate. My pup was well cared for while I was away and I would be more than happy for Christian to dogsit him again! Christian 100% has my recommendation!
My little Archie is a really nervous guy, especially around new people but when Christian cared for him, Arch came out of his shell. Christian exceeded our expectation and his level of responsibility blew us away.
My Maui is large dog, which made it hard to find a good sitter. However, Christian came to the rescue. He cared for my girl and kept the house in order while I was away. I rarely trust anyone with my girl, but he's trustworthy and responsible. Thank you, Christian! Your service is much appreciated!

I live in a very lovely house with a big fenced yard that your dog pal can run around in a whole bunch. I own a Husky named Nymeria who loves to have friends to play with and has never had a bad experience with other dogs. That being said if you have an older dog that needs some space there is also plenty of space inside and outside where the dogs can be separated. My family is large and we will all shower your dog with love.

Information Christian G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know of any special dietary needs your dog has. Do they have specific meal times? Are they more toy-driven or food-drive ? Do they understand any commands? Would you like me to work on any commands with your dog(s)?
A typical day
Your dog(s) will enjoy fun walks around my quiet neighborhood and we love going to the local dog parks to let the dogs run around freely and socialize with other dogs.
