About: Hi, I’m Christine! I’ve been a devoted pet parent for over 30 years, and my love for animals is truly at the heart of everything I do. From playful pups to curious cats and every animal in between, I believe each furry (or feathery!) friend deserves love, care, and a whole lot of fun. I currently have an 8 year old Plott Hound who is recovering from her second TPLO surgery. I spend devoted time with her every day completing her physical therapy exercises and doing all I can to optimize her recovery and golden years ahead. She has been a major part of my life and we have had lots of adventures together! She has road-tripped with me to 21 different states and lived for 6 years in the high desert mountains of AZ. I pride myself on being patient, flexible, and truly attentive to every animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a playful adventure, I can’t wait to be a part of your pet’s journey! I am a certified wellness instructor and make my own client schedule- so- I have lots of flexibility and can work with most client’s individual needs. I am flexible and adaptive to each individual pet’s needs and environment. I love walking and am happy to give extra time to take in the sniffs- or enjoy a snuggle!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, from the puppy years all the way up to saying goodbye. I have many years of experience in handing dogs and caring for them. Throughout the years I have dog sat neighbors and friends dogs. Leaving a family member behind is hard, for both you and your pet, I am here to eliminate that stress by making sure your pet is well taken care of while their human is away. I have a pretty open and flexible schedule and will be able to work out times that best work for you and your pet! I do have a fur baby of my own, but my parents love watching him😊 When it comes to the safety of your pet, I take this very seriously. I only give treats/toys that you approve. If there are special accommodations your pet may need, please let me know before meeting so I can come prepared! I am very open minded to discussing anything that I can do to better care for your pet!

About: I have worked as a pet boarder and sitter on Rover for about a year. Having previously worked as a certified nursing assistant, I have experience as a caregiver, and one of my greatest passions is caring for pets. Dogs and cats are members of a family, and it is so important to care for them as you would any other family member. I have several years of experience boarding dogs for their owners when they have been on vacation, and have also cared for my own animals throughout my whole life. I also have experience as an animal transporter for West Hancock canine rescue, in which I would work with a team to take dogs and cats from high kill shelters to foster homes or rescues. I also have a wonderful dog I rescued, Ollie, who is friendly and likes to play with other dogs at times. I’m working part-time so have time to play with pups! And our family loves animals, so it’s a great fit for us to pet sit, and we like providing a home environment for owners who need to travel. I provide a calm, safe and fun environment for pets to play. Provide walks and let pets out regularly. I believe it’s important to attend to all feeding and medication needs as a high priority.

Christina is so good with our kitties! It helps lessen the guilt of leaving them when she is there. She has a way with them, and getting our shy ones to come out of hiding 💕

This is the first time we ever let anyone care for our boys as our big guy can be stubborn. Jillian was so nice. It’s completely obvious she loves animals. She was on time, professional, and we even got updates that the boys were more than fine. I’m quite sure the boys were a little disappointed that “mom and dad” were back. We will definitely ask Jillian to care for our boys again.

About: Growing up, I had a couple dogs. Along with family and friends always having dogs around, I have always taken care of dogs. I love to walk them, bathe them, and play! I would take care of your fur baby like my own! I have a flexible schedule and work independently so I have plenty of flexibility for you and your baby!❤️ What works for your schedule will most likely work for mine. I look forward to spend time with and take care of your baby and I will enjoy every second! You can trust me with your pet like it’s my own! I am an honest human being with a heart full of love and compassion. I would love to take your fur baby to the park to play and have fun, as well as a jog/walk of course, and I wouldn’t mind giving your baby a bath if need be! Perhaps a trip to the pet store to spoil?! Don’t worry cats will love me too! I know just the spot they love scratched and will offer plenty of playtime.

About: With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I have worked with animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets needing extra patience and gentle care, I understand the unique needs that come with every stage of life. My lifelong love for animals has given me extensive experience with feeding routines, daily exercise, administering medications, senior pet support, and creating a calm, safe, and loving environment while pet parents are away. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for in their own home. Whether your pet needs active playtime, companionship, special attention, or quiet comfort, I provide dependable and compassionate care tailored to each animal’s individual needs. I treat every pet like family and take pride in building trust with both pets and their owners. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for your pets throughout the week. I am available 7 days a week for walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and check-ins. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, extra attention during the day, or loving care while you’re away, I have the time and dedication to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I provide loving attention, fresh food and water, walks, playtime, exercise, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship while their owners are away. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times. I also respect my client’s home and follow all care instructions carefully to ensure peace of mind for both pets and owners.

About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.

About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old - whatever my parents let me get away with (dog, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). As an adult I continue to own cats and dogs and currently own 2 cats. I will treat your pet as a member of my family while in my care. I nursed my cat to health from losing a kidney and he lived till he was 17yo. I nursed my geriatric dog with eye disease, arthritis until he was 14.5yo. I am more experienced with adult and geriatric pets than babies but welcome all. I am currently unemployed and seeking supplemental income. I'm also healing from CIRS/Lyme and need a walking partner to improve my health! My schedule is flexible although I do often have evening commitments with my son and his activities. My yard is large and fenced in. I live next to several walking trails and have a quiet neighborhood. I live close to a dog park and dog beach. I am familiar with crate training and administering medications.
