Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Animal Lover!
Hi, I’m Christa! I’m 34 years old and have hands on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from dogs and cats to rabbits, ducks, chickens, goats, and horses. I grew up surrounded by pets and have always felt at home with all types of animals. I pet-sat on Rover a few times in 2015, but got busy with work and school and unfortunately had to give it up. I now work from home on my own schedule, and recently purchased my own home with a large fenced in yard, so I'm giving it another shot! I have two lab mixes: Bear (14 years) and Goose (1 year). My dogs are well-socialized and typically get along great with other pups! I also have two house cats, Meera and Jojen, and have about 9 stray cats that I care for and am currently working on getting spayed/neutered. I also have a degree in biology, where I took several animal focused courses that deepened my understanding of animal behavior, health, and care. This background helps me provide thoughtful, informed, and attentive care for all kinds of pets! Thanks for stopping by, I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet like one of my own!

Ratings and reviews
Goose had a great time!
Great communication and a tired dog at the end of the day.
Christa was amazing! This was my first time using rover and I got so lucky that she’s so awesome. Ross got some great walkies in and I loooooved getting the report cards. Highly recommend her and I would wholeheartedly book with her again
Christa is an ideal sitter! She takes such good care of our kitties who are nervous when we are away. She responds quickly, reaches out with questions and our home is exactly how we left it. Highly recommend!
Mil always has an amazing time with Goose, Bear, and Christa!!!
Christa is easy to work with and did everything I requested. She is a true animal lover and treated my babes with compassion and empathy while I was away. I will definitely choose her again.

Schedule
Since I work remotely on my own schedule training AI models, I’m home most of the day and can easily give your pet the attention, companionship, and care they deserve.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, play, and rest, and offer plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I do slow introductions with my own pets to ensure everyone feels comfortable and safe. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible.
Pets
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy and engaged! Depending on their energy level and preferences, we might go for walks, play fetch, or run around in the yard. For pups who love water, I also have a splash pad and a pool for supervised swim time. For calmer pets, I’m always up for cuddle time, enrichment games, or just hanging out together. I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and needs to make sure they’re having fun and feeling loved.
