Information Christopher A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any and all allergies, required routines and medical needs. Also, please let me know things they love to do! I want your pet to have a delightful time while their loving parents are away.

A typical day

I want to get your pooch active both physically and mentally. I love to take walks and take time to stop and smell the dahlias. Cats also get playtime (if they are so inclined, of course). I'll follow their lead: if they want pets, they'll get pets; if they want to play, we'll play; if they want to be alone, I'll give them space).

Pet care experience

When neighbors or friends need a dog sitter, I always raise my hand! I love long walks, playing fetch and canine cuddles. I have experience with all ages (young pup to senior).

We needed a sitter for our senior kitty but were hesitant to leave her with anyone she didn’t know, since she’d always been looked after by family and a close friend. This was our first experience with Rover, and we decided to try Chris after reading the great reviews he got. He took care of our girl over a long weekend while we were out of town, and we were completely reassured by the level of care and attention he gave her. He sent us updates and photos, letting us know how she was doing and how she was behaving, and was very attentive to her needs. He has cats himself, clearly loves them and was such a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Chris.

Christopher was wonderful and took excellent care of our dog and our house. It was so reassuring to have him as our sitter.

I am new to Rover and needed a sitter in a very short period of time because of a death in the family…. and a funeral that I needed to attend to out of town. Chris answered my query in a very short period of time and we met the next day to go over what was needed while I was gone. He asked good questions about needs and wants and while I was gone gave me updates about their well being. He certainly understands our feline friends. Both my cats are seniors one has been quite ill, and Chris understood exactly what was needed. I do believe Chris is a cat whisperer. Both my cats took to him without a formal introduction and upon my return were quite content. I would recommend Chris to any person who needs a sitter and has cats,
