I believe in order to take care of pets, you have to learn and listen to their needs. I am comfortable building that trust between the pet and the caretaker, myself.

I’ve had Christel watch my cat multiple times, and would book again many more. She’s so good with my pet, and is extremely communicative — I love getting her messages and knowing my cat is in good hands.

Christel is awesome, sends really amazing updates and is so excited to hang out with my cat, even though my cat is shy and it requires a lot of patience to get her to play with you. I will absolutely have Christel pet sit again in the future.

Christel was great! Our cat Beethoven quickly became attached. She was thoughtful and went above and beyond. We’ll definitely ask Christel to take care of our cat again.

Christel was absolutely excellent! This was our first time hiring her, and right from the beginning, she was exceptionally communicative, warm, and attentive to detail. Not to mention, her daily reports were so thorough, making me feel completely at ease that my little Simon was in great hands. We would definitely book her again!

Christel was a great cat sitter, very communicative and dedicated to coming out. My typically shy cat got along well with her. Would have her back again

Christel was absolutely wonderful with our two rabbits over Thanksgiving break!! She was incredibly courteous and communicative, and it was clear how much care she put into looking after our boys. We really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to watch an exotic species on short notice and came home to happy, well-cared-for bunnies. We would gladly book with her again, highly recommend!

Let me know if your pet has any quirks — I love pets with unique personalities. If your pet plays a little rough, likes to hide in little corners, or does anything else peculiar, give me a heads up. I’d also need to know any information that would help keep your pets safe. Some pets like to dash toward the door when you’re coming in. I can handle it, but it would be nice to know. If you’re pet also has any food preferences or previous medical concerns, I would like to know that as well. I can’t wait to meet your little buddies!
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.
