Safety, trust & environment

I try to keep things as consistent with the current routine of the pet as possible. This helps keep anxiety down for the pet and their human.

Information Christel R. would like to know about your pet

1) Will your pet need to be given medication? 2) Does your pet have any allergies or medical conditions? 3) Anything specific about your pets habits/behavior that you think would be important to know about in advance.

A typical day

I like to try to walk dogs on routes that do little overlapping so they have lots of new smells. Whether they want to spend our time playing or just sitting being petted I want to make your pet feel comfortable and at ease.

Gentle, Experienced Care

Pet care experience

Please note that I’m not able to hold dates without a confirmed booking. I am a dedicated animal care professional with a lifelong passion for working with animals. I was raised with a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and insects, which gave me early and consistent hands-on experience in animal care. My background includes over 10 years of pet sitting experience, volunteer work with local shelters, and employment in both pet retail and boarding facility environments. I also completed a two-year veterinary assisting program, providing training in basic medical care, emergency response, medication administration, and CPR. I have experience caring for senior pets and animals with special needs. I look forward to providing reliable, knowledgeable, and attentive care for your pet.

Christel has been excellent to help care for our dogs during the week. The dogs are very happy to see her and enjoy a walk during the middle of the day. She has always been dependable and flexible with time. We will continue to have Christel look after our dogs.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
