About: I’ve always had dogs and have hands-on experience caring for them, along with knowledge of canine training and enrichment. I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged through walks, play, basic training, tricks, and structured activities. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your dog is doing while you’re away. I’m available for overnight boarding on weekends, and I’m also available for dog walks on weekdays after 4:00 PM. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and will do my best to accommodate your schedule whenever possible! I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to safely play, explore, and get some energy out. Your pup will also have the option to socialize and play with my two friendly dogs, or enjoy their own space if they prefer a quieter environment. My home has several areas where dogs can relax comfortably and have some privacy, and I also have a crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or feel more comfortable having their own cozy space. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, and attention while they’re with me!
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my extensive hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and my ability to provide specialized care. I have a 12-year-old dog that I personally trained and continue to care for through his senior years, managing complications from old age and two ACL tears With dedicated rehab and treatment. In addition to this, I rescued two kittens when they were only two days old, bottle feeding them for months after losing their mother. I’ve also worked on a horse ranch where I trained and rescued horses, and took care of a range of animals, including pigs, goats, cattle, chickens, and more. My experience with hunting dogs and my background in animal rehab rehabilitation further sets me apart, as I understand, the unique needs for each animal, and I’m committed to providing the best care possible. Whether it’s training, senior care, or helping with recovery from injury, I bring compassion, expertise, and a deep love for animals to every sitting experience.

When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize respect and attention to detail. I always ensure your properties is treated with almost care, keeping everything clean and organized. I follow any specific instructions you provide, whether it’s maintaining routines, administering medications, or adhering to house rules.

“Mia walked my two standard poodle pups for one week and she was excellent. She was very responsive and super kind. She arrived on time and was very patient with my high energy pups. I know she was patient because she took time to clean up any accidents from their excitement and allowed them time to play with each other after each walk before returning to their crates. She was delightful and I highly recommend her services.”
About: Animal and Pet Experience: I currently volunteer weekly at a cat shelter where I interact with and take care of a wide range of cats. I absolutely adore working there and have always been an animal lover! I've owned and taken care of a variety of pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, gerbils, and at one point in my adolescence, a toad. I love and am capable of taking care of a wide range of animals. All of the cats I grew up with had feline leukemia, leading them to require extra care and medication. I am known for being very gentle and patient, and will give your beloved pet lots of attention, care, and cuddles. :) Flexibility/Location/Hours: I am very flexible in terms of pricing, hours, location, and last-minute bookings or cancellations. I know how chaotic life can be and how valuable flexibility is, especially when it comes to the care of our pets. I am willing to negotiate, make adjustments as needed, and will prioritize the best and most stress-free experience for you and your pets. General Qualities: I am a very fast learner, rule-follower, and problem-solver, and will not hesitate to communicate or ask questions if I have them. I want nothing but the best possible experience for you, the owner, and your beloved pets, as I know how much value they bring to a household. I am always happy and quick to communicate if you have any questions or concerns. I promise your furry friend is in good hands! I am currently in the market for an animal-related job, and I am waiting to hear back from several dog kennels and pet stores. In the meantime, Rover is my priority for income and further animal experience. On Monday nights, from 6-8 pm, I typically have a prior commitment, but it can easily be adjusted or joined virtually. For now, animal care and pet-sitting are my number one priority. I do not offer pet sitting at my home, but I am very flexible in terms of location and hours to do what is best for your pet at your own home. I can provide additional treats and toys if allowed or preferred, and will prioritize the safety and care of your pet. I will follow the rules and schedule that are provided and will update you with any questions, concerns, or updates. My main priority is providing safe, stress-free, reliable care that is personalized for your household and pet to your standards and expectations.

I booked Christopher for dog walking and he was excellent! He was prompt and friendly and gave my active dog a hearty walk. Christopher has to be one of the nicest young men I’ve met. He was professional and committed to my dog’s care and also a true animal lover. My dog really took to him. I feel very lucky to have found Christopher!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
