About: Hi there! I'm Christina, part-time nurse, full-time mom of 3 (including one toddler!), and lifelong animal lover. Our home is full of love, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos… the perfect environment for dogs who love attention, kids, and cozy cuddles! I work just 3 days a week and am home the rest of the time, so your pup will never feel lonely. Whether they love long walks, belly rubs, or snoozing in a sunny spot, they’ll feel like family here. We have a fully fenced yard, a comfy home, and dog-savvy kids who are gentle and respectful. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine—meals, meds, crate training, whatever keeps them happy and healthy. As a nurse, I’m trained to notice the little things, stay calm in any situation, and provide dependable, compassionate care, whether it’s for people or pups! Let me know if you’d like to set up a meet & greet. We’d love to welcome your fur baby into our home! I only work 3 days a week, just contact me to see if I can fit it in my schedule, always available on the weekend. I have a fully fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs. Can offer space to keep your baby separate or mingle into our cozy group.
About: I have had dogs for more than 20 years and love to go for long walks and watch them play in our big fenced yard I work a combination of at home and in the office so I’m available most times to keep your pet company, hang out and play/walk. I have a big, fenced yard and two great golden retrievers to keep your baby company. They love to run and play and sometimes swim!
“Merrit was able to successfully take care of a senior dog with special needs, in addition to the cats. I really appreciate the photos and check-in notices. The babies are all happy.”
“This was our first time using Rover and the overall experience was great. We had a quick turnaround within a week due to an unexpected funeral. Caroline was quick to respond and do a meet and greet. She was great with communicating with us and sending pictures of Lexi, our cat, while we were on travel. She fed her during the timeframes we asked and was respectful of our house. She was an awesome house sitter and we will definitely use her again for future trips. Thanks!”

Karen C.
“If you're looking for someone who truly cares for your pets, Karen is the person to trust! From the moment I met her, it was clear that she has a deep love and respect for animals. She treats every pet as if they were her own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. Her yard is absolutely beautiful, providing plenty of space for the pets to run around and enjoy themselves. Karen goes above and beyond with daily walks, playtime, and making sure they’re comfortable and happy. She also provides lots of updates, keeping me informed with photos and messages so I always know how my pets are doing. I always feel completely at ease knowing my pets are in such good hands with her. Her dedication, kindness, and attention to detail make her an outstanding pet sitter, and I couldn't recommend her more.”
