Pet care experience

I've taken care of pets since I was little. My brothers and I had a local pet sitting service for delco to make money while growing up (we took care of mostly dogs but also cats, birds, and even one snake). In my adult life I've taken care of people's pets while they were out of town over a dozen times, either in my home or theirs. I love animals, particularly dogs! I love the outdoors and nature. I work in care-taking and have been told I am exceptionally compassionate. I would love to meet your pet!

Christian took great care of my cat, dog, and house while I was away. He was was professional and always responded quickly to my messages. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet or house sitter!

Christian was great with Nabi. He was very kind and great with updates and communication, very understanding and would recommend him 100. Nabi really liked his stay and looked comfortable and happy when I picked him up.

Christian was the best! He was super easy to work with and very communicative! I felt great about leaving my little beagle with him and never once worried about how she may be doing with him. Christian is great with dogs and really goes the extra mile with them to make sure they have a great time!! 10/10 experience and I plan on booking with him again in the future!

Christian was a perfect pet-sitter. He followed all the directions I gave, spent quality time with my cats, and sent pictures every visit. I definitely recommend him!

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.
