Your baby IS gonna be MY baby also!

Pet care experience

We’ve had dogs my whole life, I’ve always kind of preferred them over people..to be honest. Lol They’re so loving without fault, endearing. I’ve always bathed ours, and of course the dreaded drying, I trained them and of course just loved them!! I recently was given the opportunity to work for a kennel. There, I was able to give medications and learn a little about weight to ml dosaging, and of I got to take care of the beautiful huge creatures we know as Cane Corsos, that was a truly humbling experience!! So many people are terrified of them thinking they are vicious…but they are actually just gentle giants! Animals are definitely my passion!! As well I have 2 small dogs and gigantic baby of my own...I wouldn’t trade them for anything in this world!!

Christa was awesome with my 4 legged kid. Provided lots of love and attention, and also send pictures and updates during the time she took care of my puppy. ❤️❤️❤️

I am so happy with this pet sitter I do not want to use another. She is amazing my pets love her and she goes above and beyond to help me out with my animals. She is reliable and trustworthy.

Hello, my name is Diane. I have known Christa for several year. I have worked side by side with her. I most admire her love of animals. She is very kind and gentle with them. I have not know an animal that doesn't love her. She has dog sat for me several times. I trust her explicitly with my pets. She has even taken care of my turtles as well. She has proven herself to be honest and dependable. She is an asset to the animal world.

Safety, trust & environment

When I get to a point where I will be able to bring babies home with me, we do have a large metal and sinder block fence that goes all the way around the yard, But currently I am trying to work on my partners fear of, well…any dog that’s not her own!! So currently I cannot do boarding, I can do pet sitting, it will just have to be at the clients house, which will be more comfortable for the baby anyway! But there is a dog park nearby and we could go out and chase balls or play with toys to our little hearts content. Any baby under my care will not lack for love, exercise or affection at all!! I can’t wait!!

Information Christa L. would like to know about your pet

All I really need to know about your baby is if they are good with small dogs and do they have health concerns I should know about or require medication?

A typical day

We will have so much fun together. We will play with toys, fetch if the baby is ok with that. We will go for long walks at the dog park or around the trails by the Junior College...there are so many nice places to walk. I love to play chase with my babies, so maybe that's an option for your baby and myself as well!! Jasper loves to play keep away…but he is the one that likes to keep the toy or ball away from ME!! Lol My boys also LOVE to take long rides in the car so they can stick their heads out the windows and bark at other cars and people they see!! I think this is both Gizmo and Jaspers favorite pass time!!

Availability

Currently I am not working a regularly set job so I am available anytime I am needed. I wake up to our overgrown baby Jasper, whining around 6:30 most mornings, so we play in the living room till Momma Dee wakes up and let’s out the little ones, Gizmo and Bella. I feed them all around 9a.m. It’s usually a mad house, but a lot of fun. All three of them are crate trained so when we both need to leave the house they all know what “let’s go to bed” means. We have some of the happiest, healthiest dogs around…and they are very deeply loved!! I was hoping to maybe make a long-term regular somewhat set schedule with Rover and the dog loving community that uses it’s services. I hope to see ya soon!!
