Please note: I will not be able to do long-term stays (longer than 5 days) for housesitting until next year. Shorter housesitting stays (5 days or less) and drop-in visits (no restriction on length of booking for these) I will be able to do. Also, I will have to leave for a few hours at a time on weekdays for classes, but on weekends I can usually provide constant care.

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to spend as much time as needed with your pets to ensure their needs are met and that they are happy. If you need to me to stay overnight, I am able to do so.

Information John C. would like to know about your pet

If there's anything that you think might be a concern during my stay, let me know! I always reach out if I notice anything that seems like a possible injury or health issue (limping, wheezing, etc.)

A typical day

I am more than willing to give your animals lots of play time. I love lengthy walks, so if your dog is accustomed to longer walks, let me know! I also love cats and kittens.

John took great care of our little old dogs with various issues and peculiarities. He was a great houseguest as well and I’ll be booking him again the next time for sure.

John was excellent, kind, communicative, and flexible - everything you could wish for in a sitter! He took great care of Felix and our home.

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.
