Must love dogs

Pet care experience

If requesting for dog walking services I can provide leash training and basic obediance if requested. I am comfortable with specific schedules and administrating medication. Hello my name is Christa, we are a military family. I was in the Navy for 7 years and my husband is currently stationed in Indian head. In the past we have owned a dachshund and a westie, so they hold a special place in our hearts, but we love all dogs. In our house your dog will be one of the family. We will give them all the love and snuggles! Must be good with children. I have a 1yo and 4yo. They are very gentle with animals but will still get in their face and want to pet them. We only watch one dog at a time. I am a stay at home mom so your pet will get lots of attention and frequent potty breaks. We also like to go on walks when the weather is not too hot. I usually bring a wagon, incase anyone gets tired. My husband is a couch potato. All dogs love him and are usually snuggling up on the couch with him in the evenings.

Christa was excellent; provided Jango a comfortable experience. He appeared very happy. She is very easy to work with and communicate with. I highly recommend her and will use her in the future.

Christa and her family are great with willow, they send updates and photos and it was a relief to not worry about Willow while we were away on a extended trip over a holiday and she came home very happy and tired!

My first time using rover I was a little anxious as my dog has separation anxiety so she can be alot if not properly taken care of safe to sat after the first day and meeting prior I was pretty confident that my baby would be taking care of .but she was more than ok I think she was on vacation too Christa was very frequent with updates and communication was great I can honestly say I may have text her before she text me may 2 times during my 6 day vacation so if you are like me and need more than just someone to watch your dog but a professional that understands your worry I would definitely recommend Christa.
