Pet care experience

Your furry friend is safe with me!

I absolutely love animals and take care of all types of them, I especially love dogs because of their fun loving nature and cats because of their mystique. I have a lot of experience taking care of both and I have all the energy and fitness needed for a dog to run with, play with, have fun with, feel loved and spend energy! It especially helps that I'm no walk in the park myself, standing at 6'4 dogs tend to have a natural respect for my stature and listen a lot faster as well. I use my vast knowledge and experience to keep me and the animals safe and happy. I'm also able to help dogs and cats of all ages. I'm very patient with the potty training process and medical application processes of all kinds. I look forward to working with you all!

I was afraid to leave my high energy Husky with a sitter, but after meeting Chuk I felt very comfortable and my husky loves Chuk. I would definitely recommend him.

Chuck made Henry's first overnight stay a wonderful experience! We reached out to Chuck on short notice for Henry's very first overnight stay away from home — understandably, we were a little nervous! From the start, Chuck put us completely at ease. He came by in person beforehand to meet us and Henry, which immediately built our confidence. Throughout the stay, Chukwubuikem (Chuck) sent thoughtful video updates so we always knew Henri was happy and well cared for. He was highly communicative, prompt, and made coordinating pickup and drop-off seamless. Henri came home tail-wagging and clearly had a great time. For first-time Rover users especially, Chuck is everything you could hope for in a dog sitter. 10/10 — we will absolutely be booking with him again!

I’m incredibly grateful for the amazing care and flexibility during a very stressful time. I had a last-minute emergency and needed someone to watch my dog without even knowing exactly when I would be back. Chuck was extremely understanding, responsive, and supportive throughout the whole process. My dog is still staying with him and I already have complete peace of mind knowing he is in such good hands. He even agreed to buy the specific food my dog needs, which I truly appreciate. That level of care and attention means a lot, especially during an emergency. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. I’m very thankful for their kindness, patience, and reliability, and I would absolutely recommend Chuck to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.

Chuk is the sweetest, kindest person and took incredible care of my dog. He sent terrific photos and videos while I was away. He also administered meds (better than I can!) and I came home to a super happy, well taken care of and loved dog! If there were more than 5 stars, I would give that. I can't wait for Murray to have another playdate with Chuck!!

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to watching pets, patience, knowledge and experience are invaluable traits to have when handling another person's furry friend. I make sure to come prepared both mentally and physically for my sitting appointments. I have conversations with pet owners to learn more about their pet and get information that will make the sit go smoothly in my home or theirs. I ask about their pet's likes and dislikes, favorite toys, quirks, medical history and much more. All these are important to make sure you come back to your pet just as happy and healthy as you left them!

A typical day

With dogs I'll enjoy a nice run so the dog and I can get some exercise or I'll do a long walk if I'm not in a running mood. I also have balls, frisbees and toys at the ready to spice things up and provide challenges the dog will love. For cats I like to play with them a bit using some wands and strings and place treats around the space for them to find. All this helps to keep. a cat moving and engaged. And when its time to relax and calm down, cat or dog, I'll throw on some soft music or watch a bit of tv with them by my side while I pet them.
