When I had a night shift, Christopher came and took care of my dog, Honey, and did a spectacular job! He followed every direction/request without an issue, went above and beyond by offering to give Honey medication before he left, took photos promptly, and cuddled her when there was a bad thunderstorm, will book again!

Christopher did a fantastic job taking care of Boomer over the past two days. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Boomer was comfortable and happy. I really appreciated the updates and the attention he gave throughout the stay. I’d absolutely recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter!

Chris has walked my dog many times. He’s friendly, reliable, and great with Tucker. He works in a vet’s office, so he really knows animals. Highly recommended.

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.
