It offers family pets a nurturing, loving and carefully supervised environment that is as similar as possible to what they would receive if their owners were home. This service keeps pets in familiar surroundings, greatly reducing the loneliness, boredom or separation anxiety that can sometimes cause problem behaviors.

Chris' Pet Care & House Sitting Service strives for professional excellence. It's owner, Chris McVarish, Ph.D., is insured, bonded and licensed.
