Information Christopher N. would like to know about your pet

Please ensure that your dog is ok with small children. My son (7) and daughter (2.5) are very comfortable around dogs but would require your dog to be comfortable around them. So far all owners who say their dogs are good with kids have been right! My kids adore the new and familiar dogs that come to visit and we think the dogs have a blast too!

A typical day

We walk around the neighborhood trails, can take them on longer walks down to the lake nearby or just around my complex where there are plenty of other dogs to meet and greet aswell as places to sniff.

Christopher N.'s Neighborhood

Home based (ex)-dog dad

Pet care experience

I looked after my dog babe (Brittany spaniel) for over 10 years sadly she passed a couple of years ago at 14. Since then I have had the privilege and enjoyment of looking after many Rover dogs of all shapes and sizes. I enjoy the company of dogs in my home as do my kids and have several happy human and dog reviews! I am a home based worker and walk dogs in my care at least 4 times a day, never more than 5 hours apart.

This was my first time using Rover and Christopher made the experience very seamless and stress-free! He was great about answering all of my questions, was very responsive, and sent a ton of photos and videos throughout my pup's stay. I can tell my pup had a great time by his attitude when I picked him up. He seemed like he had a fun time at Christopher. Will definitely be returning :)

Chris really did me a solid taking Marshall in for the weekend. He was always in communication, sent a few pictures during each day, and managed to keep on top of my boy’s endless energy. When I picked him up, my dog was trying to get me to stay there, which I take as a great sign for how much he enjoyed his stay with Chris.

We had a fantastic experience with Christopher! Our quirky boxer, Ty, stayed with him and his family, and she had an amazing time. They all showed her so much love and care. Christopher kept us updated throughout her stay, which helped us feel reassured and at ease. He was also a lifesaver, stepping in to watch Ty for us at the last minute. We highly recommend Christopher and his warm, loving home, and we would definitely book again!
