Hello thank you for visiting my profile. I've cared for pets for as long as I can remember. As a kid I used to take in strays, give them water, feed them, and try to find their owner. My mom used to say I don't find dogs, dogs find me! This was the case when I was 15 living in Stamford. It was a cold snowy Christmas eve and I happened to look out my back window and noticed a shivering all bones scared Sheppard in the backyard. I immediately ran outside with a treat and gained her trust. It took weeks but with the help of a vet she was nursed back to health. I convinced my parents to take her in and I named her Founder (found her). Best dog ever! Today I continue to work with stray animals as the producer of “Perros de Colombia” (search IMDB) and was fortunate to care for my beloved Miniature Schnauzer Myles for 17 years so I do understand the time and energy to not only raise a dog, but to care for another person's pet as if they were my own.

Chuck is a great sitter! We’re so happy we found him. Our dog Sadie has a lot of energy and Chuck takes her for long walks, to the dog park and treats her very well! He’s always there when we need him and is very nice and professional. Highly recommend!!

Chuck did a great job caring for our active puppy, Lexi! He took her on many walks and outings and sent us lots of picture updates! We felt so good about leaving her with him over the weekend and will definitely contact him again next time we need to leave her.

Chuck was very welcoming and took great care of my two dogs during an overnight stay -- he even treated them to a trip to the beach! It was a last-minute booking and went very smoothly.

Chuck is fantastic with Coco my Shi Tzu terrier. During my trip he kept me posted throughout the stay and sent pictures of the walk and dog park. I like that Chuck is flexible and I can book him on short notice. Chuck is the person I go to when I need a sitter for Coco.

Daily activities include walks to Wooster Park or the walking path close to Short Beach. I’ve also taken pets to Shelton dog park which is great for off-leash exercise.

It’s helpful to know of your pet’s personality, any feeding schedules, and what to expect when your pet encounters other dogs when out on walks or at the park.
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.
