Im so glad kennels are a thing of the past! If there's anything that I have to be aware of regarding your dog(s) health, behavior issue such as triggers, food aggression, or resource guarding. or anything else let me know to address it as best as I can.

A typical day

Full-time dog lover!!!

Pet care experience

I do take up to 4 clients at a time, so I can only accept dogs that get along well with other dogs. I am doing Rover full time. Which means more time to spend on walks, playing and affection time ! I won't be distracted with any electronic device, when outdoors with your dog. I don't smoke, drink or party. I grew up caring for a couple amazing dogs. I've taken care of my brother's, neighbors and friends dogs. I love being outdoors and being active, so if your dog has alot of energy, he'll be sleeping like a baby by the end of the day. I currently don't have any pets of my own. I'm looking forward to making memorable moments with your dog(s).

Christian provided fantastic care of Clementine! He checked in often and provided updates of what they were up to, and she returned a happy happy girl. Would absolutely rebook!

Christian took care of our Golden Retriever while we were living with family during a home renovation and was amazing! He sent pictures every day and allowed us to extend his stay when our reno was delayed. We will definitely use him again and I highly recommend.

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.
