Prior farm boy, now Doctor, loves animals - Marais

Pet care experience

100% available at home and for walks/play/care. I grew up in rural Maine, USA on a farm, and had several house pets (through to and including medical school). I joined Rover in 2019 with many wonderful experiences and happy dogs (and owners). I’m now living in Paris (Marais) and want to continue caring for animals. I’m a Doctor by training, but currently on sabbatical, so have TONS of available time at home (and for walks, brushing, play, etc.) and lots of love to give. I live in a 1 bedroom flat in central Paris (Marais, 3rd District), but since I’m not working, I can go (do go) for frequent walks about, and know all the local parks; and I’m up for boarding if needed. My partner also loves pets, and is registered in Rover, so he’s keen to help out if needed as well. I’ve kept my prices to a cup of coffee or two, since I’d do this just for the joy. Feel free to ask questions.

Christopher a été absolument fantastique avec mon chiot, je suis ravie d’avoir trouvé quelqu’un de confiance à qui le confier. Il adore les chiens et ça se sent. Flexible, réactif et très sympathique, Cajou s’est tout de suite senti à l’aise avec lui. Il m’a envoyé des photos pendant la garde pour me rassurer. Je recommande vivement les services de Christopher !

Chris and his partner were absolutely brilliant with my dog... I felt so reassured leaving her with them. Chris kept me regularly updated with lovely photos of her having a great time! I would wholeheartedly recommend Chris, he’s just wonderful. Jodie & Titch
