Longtime sitter & dog’s best friend

Pet care experience

I’ve never not lived with dogs. I’ve watched over 200 dogs over the last few years. My ex had the Rover account but I still have the house, giant yard, and an ability to manage dogs of all personalities so they can have a very fun and very safe staycation. I work from home and I’m here for all major holidays this year. I’m a homebody with no one else living in my three bedroom house and no backyard so I like to have pups around to play with and take care of I have a fenced in yard. My boxer has helped me host over a hundred different dogs over the past few years and loves to play and we both love to chill even more. Outdoor dogs love chasing squirrels and playing ball in the back and indoor dogs love chilling with me on my big leather couch. I comfort anxious dogs and help them socialize. I am comfortable handling dogs of all personalities as long as they play safe with others. And I always send lots of pictures :)

Chris was excellent with our two super high-energy dogs. My partner and I were gone for nearly 3 weeks over the holidays. Chris consistently sent several pictures and videos of each pup every day, which made us feel great. As you know, it's always challenging leaving fur babies, but Chris' pics/vids and communication made us feel the best we could about being apart. I highly recommend selecting Chris as your Rover sitter. I will be a repeat customer in the future. Thanks, Chris!

We left our good boy for 2 weeks, and got detailed updates and photos every day! More importantly, when our dog had some trouble socializing, Christopher did an incredible job working with him and helping him get comfortable. We're grateful, and will definitely be using him in the future!

A typical day

I have a giant backyard and I play fetch more than I do just about anything. I’m also always trying to get my 10,000 steps in and love taking pups around the block to tour the neighborhood and smell all the things. There is even a walking trail head just down the street
