Hi there, I have been involved with dog care since my childhood; growing up as a volunteer with various rescues and animal shelters, to fostering, to adopting and owning my own dogs. I have dealt with many breeds and types of dogs and personalities throughout the years.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Christopher took wonderful care of my golden doodle! He’s extremely reliable, kind, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. My pup came back happy and relaxed after every visit. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!
I've known Christopher for over 20 years, and as long as I've known him, he's always been an animal lover. He's taken fantastic care of his own dogs as well as pets of friends and family, including mine. He even started an animal rescue organization at his school and volunteered at a local shelter. I work as a veterinarian, and can vouch for the excellent care he provides to his animals and his knowledge and experience, going above and beyond for them. I know he will provide the same love and attention to pets he sits for. Chris is a former member of the US Army and former police officer, and he currently works as a flight attendant. He is trustworthy, responsible, professional, kind and has excellent interpersonal, organizational and leadership skills and can respond calmly and confidently under stressful situations. He will make an excellent addition to the Rover team. Happy to chat in more detail if you'd like.

Schedule
Unfortunately since my work schedule changes too frequently, I cannot accept bookings more than two weeks in advance. I am great for someone who needs a last minute, short stay booking (1-4 days) at a low affordable cost. If you have a well behaved dog, low-medium energy, that needs a safe, clean, and loving home for a few days while you’re gone, I’m the Rover for you 🙂

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment so ideally my home is best suited for small to medium size dogs that are house trained, well behaved, and low-medium energy. I can unfortunately only accept large dogs if they are low energy, behaved, and house trained I do not have a yard but I do have plenty of safe walking space around the neighborhood. During the day, potty breaks are every 4 hours. If your dog is crate trained, that is a plus for overnight sleeping to avoid any issues of being out roaming the apartment without supervision. I am otherwise home and attentive to your dog. Communication is important. I respond quickly and will send daily updates. I’m only charging $20 a night because I know how hard it is to find safe, dependable, and affordable care, especially last minute. So I want to open my home when my schedule allows to help other dog owners I don’t require a meet and greet ahead of time but have no problem if you would like to have one (in person or FaceTime) and see if my place is the right fit for your dog when you’re gone. For the safety of your dog, I do not feed anything but your provided dog food and provided treats. I do not feed human food or my own treats as I don’t want to risk any stomach issues Thank you for your time and consideration
Pets
A typical day
During the day, outdoor time and potty breaks are every 4 hours. When inside, each dog will have their own bed, blankets, and toys. I do not crate during the day. Your dog will be free to roam the apartment and have 24/7 access to fresh clean water. I always feed dogs separately and will abide by your dogs feeding schedule
