Pawsome Adventures Await!

Pet care experience

Growing up on a farm surrounded by a menagerie of animals, my connection with creatures great and small runs deep. From the loyal companionship of dogs to the independent charm of cats and the gentle demeanor of farm animals, I’ve experienced the joy and responsibility of caring for a diverse array of creatures. Each day was filled with adventures, from helping birth new litters to tending to injured animals with compassion and care. My time on the farm instilled in me a profound understanding of animal behavior, needs, and preferences. Whether it’s understanding a cat’s desire for quiet solitude or a dog’s need for energetic playtime, I approach each interaction with empathy and insight. My experience extends beyond mere pet ownership – it’s a lifelong journey of learning and love. Transitioning from farm life to civilian and military experiences only deepened my appreciation for the companionship and unwavering loyalty that animals provide. Throughout my journeys, whether on duty or off, my bond with animals has remained a constant source of comfort and joy. It’s this rich tapestry of experiences that uniquely qualifies me to be the trusted caretaker of your beloved pets. As your Rover companion, I bring not only a wealth of practical experience but also a genuine passion for fostering happy and healthy relationships between pets and their owners. With me, your furry friends will receive the love, attention, and care they deserve, making every moment spent together a memorable one.

Chris and Lily were amazing! They were so responsive and easy to work with, especially with flight delays and issues. They sent great updates while we traveled, and our dogs had the best time playing in their yard. Will definitely book again!

Chris has been so great with our furry baby. She loves her walks with him and we love that she’s getting extra exercise during the week! Chris is punctual and respectful. We appreciate the feedback he gives us and the pics he provides.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home or my client’s home, I prioritize the well-being and happiness of pets through a tailored approach to care. This begins with creating a safe and comfortable environment, ensuring that their basic needs such as food, water, and shelter are met. Additionally, I provide plenty of opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, and social interaction to keep them healthy and engaged. For dog walking and pet sitting services, I adhere to established routines and schedules to maintain consistency and reduce stress for the animals. This includes regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and administering any necessary medications or treatments as directed by the owner or veterinarian. In addition to physical care, I also prioritize emotional well-being by offering plenty of love, attention, and companionship. Whether it’s cuddling on the couch, engaging in interactive play, or simply spending quality time together, I strive to build trusting and positive relationships with each pet under my care. Furthermore, I maintain open communication with pet owners to provide regular updates on their pet’s activities, behavior, and overall well-being. This ensures peace of mind for owners and allows for any adjustments to be made to the care routine as needed. Overall, my approach to pet care is centered around providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where pets can thrive and feel loved, whether they’re in my own home or that of a client.
