As a dad (both furry and not), I understand the importance of having someone you can trust both with your pet as well as your home.

Let me be that person for you! **Services Include:** - Daily visits for feeding, walking, and playtime - Medication (oral) administration if needed - Updates and photos during each visit **About Me:** I am available for pet sitting (dogs or cats) and dog walking as needed. I have 30+ years experience with dogs and cats both of my own and as a sitter for friends and neighbors. If you’re interested in discussing your pet care needs, feel free to reach out! I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

I treat your furbabies like family

Pet care experience

Ever since I was a little kid, we've always had dogs. I grew up having labradors, shih tzus, terriers and even a pekingese. I've been around dogs pretty much my whole life, and if I'm lucky, I will for the rest of my life. When I was about 20, I rescued a tiny kitten from a structure that was being torn down. He curled up in the palm of my hand, nuzzled my thumb and I was hooked. He and I adopted my grandfather's dachshund/corgi mix a few years later. When I married my wife, our household became the “Brady Bunch” of pets, with four dogs and a cat between us. With years of experience caring for multiple animals, I understand the love, patience, and attention pets need, and I’m excited to bring that care to your pet as a dedicated pet sitter. I offer walks and check-ins. You will always receive a rover card with pictures of your pets and a detailed message after each walk/visit.

Chris did a great job watching my dog and two cats. He gave me updates and sent photos with each check-in. He’s extremely reliable and flexible and I’ll certainly use his services again!

Chris was a great pet sitter for our two dogs. He's very punctual, a great communicator, and very professional. We're very happy with how he treated our doggies and will definitely rebook!

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.
