Pet care experience

Your pet is a member of the family!

I’ve worked with dogs professionally for a number of years and been a dog owner my whole life! I love the loyalty and companionship that dogs provide and firmly believe that their walk or boarding should be the highlight of their day. Each pup has individual needs that I am happy to provide and my dog Felix is always available for socialization as well.

Christopher was great. He gave us updates and pictures while we were away, and was very accommodating of our boy's raw food diet. Would definitely book again.

This was my first experience with a dog sitter and using Rover. We decided to get a sitter while we went camping last week. A few days before we were set to leave, my husband, 2 kids and I made an agreement with Christopher to meet our dog and he'd keep him for the week. So we brought our dog to Christopher a couple of days before he was to keep him for the week. At first our dog was shy and uncomfortable as Christopher had 2 other dogs there with him as well. Christopher did not let us into his home we just stayed outside in the yard. Eventually our dog seemed comfortable and began to run around the yard and let the other 2 dogs- who were much bigger than him- like 4 times his size, play with him. So we all ended up feeling comfortable so we agreed Christopher would keep our dog for the week. We dropped him off and proceeded to go to our camp site, which was approximately 1 hour away. Before we reached the camp site Christopher texted and called me saying it wasn't going to work out, stating he would not come to him and he's peeing in his house. Needless to say I was disturbed because I thought that was too soon to call being it was only less than an hour. So I had my son go pickup our dog. This was a bad (1st) experience with Rovers sitter and Im not sure why he didnt give our small dog a chance to get settled with him. Our dog uses the bathroom outside and he has a closed yard which we discussed before hand. Christopher said it was safe for him to be in the yard because its closed so im not sure how our dog, according to Christopher could have peed multiple times inside of his home. Our dog doesn't pee that much within an hour and he hadn't had anything to drink before bringing him to Christopher and he's a small dog. Im sure he was nervous as I said this was his first time being away from us. We are very disappointed that Christopher didnt give our dog a chance to settle. Not even a half day. One hour and you've given up seems to be an inadequate sitter.

Christopher was very easy to deal with and responsive. He made it easy to do a meet and greet. Our dog had a great time with his. He sent photos regularly while we were away and kept us updated on our dogs well-being. Definitely would book with him again!

It looks like Fido had a great time with Chris and his dog Felix! I am seeing some positive behavior changes in my puppy after staying with Chris for 11 days. I appreciate it! I will definitely work with Chris in future.

Incredibly kind and communicative. Lloyd got lots of exercise with Christopher’s dog, who is a sweetie. Will absolutely be rebooking. Thank you, Christopher!!
