Pet care experience

Reliable, loving dog and cat sitter

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.

I am SO grateful for finding Christopher! He takes amazing care of my cats when I am gone, and sends constant updates and photos of them. I’ve used him several times so far and will continue booking with him to watch my babies!

Christopher was so reliable, punctual, and kind to my Arthur (cat)! He is super trustworthy and always sends detailed updates, pictures, etc. He responds quickly to text messages and I can’t recommend him enough! Extremely grateful that he took such great care of my Arthur kitty!

Christopher is wonderful! Very responsive and helpful - and totally willing to jump in when I needed to add an extra day of care due to an emergency! Would highly recommend.

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.

As long as your pet is housebroken and not aggressive toward other dogs, they are welcome in my home. Anything you think I should know will be gratefully received.
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.
