It's a big part of it and something I really enjoy. I'm a freelance writer, so work at home, and I have the flexibility to accommodate any schedule. I welcome the opportunity to care for animals and see it as a privilege.

Reliable, loving dog and cat sitter

Pet care experience

Hi there, my name is Christopher, and as a Rover Premier sitter, I live in Greenwich Village with Griffin, my black labrador, having previously built up a wonderful client base in San Francisco. Animals are a great passion of mine, I love their company, and try to ensure they have fun on every visit with plenty of cuddles and playtime. I mostly do drop-in visits for cats, but I also cater to dogs and do both drop-ins and walks. I strive to ensure my clients can go away, have fun, and not worry, so that means providing a reliable and attentive service while dropping in on your beloved pet. I am also one of the Rover Premier pet sitters who has undergone advanced screening. I have experience with elderly pets and giving medications. If you're away, I'm happy to pick up mail and water plants during my visits if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Why I love dog sitting A lifetime dog lover, I have one dog of my own. Griffin is my 11-year-old labrador. My experience administering medication Yes, I have no problem administering medication.

Very good, but I recycle the cat food cans. If you could rinse them and put aside. I’d like to add a 5$ tip

Chris was a great cat sitter and was very thoughtful with making sure our cat was taken care of. I appreciated his dedication and prompt communication!
