Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space just as much as I respect their pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or special comfort items. I keep things clean, calm, and consistent to help your pet feel safe and relaxed in their familiar environment. I always double-check gates, doors, and harnesses to ensure your pet stays secure. I’m mindful of their boundaries and watch closely for any changes in behavior or health. You can expect regular photo updates and open communication so you know exactly how your fur baby is doing while you’re away.

Information Christella S. would like to know about your pet

Before watching any pet, I always like to learn a few important things to make sure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I ask about their daily routine, feeding schedule, potty habits, and energy level. It’s also helpful to know if they have any allergies, medical conditions, or need medication. I like to ask how they do on walks, around other animals or people, and if they have any behaviors I should be aware of like separation anxiety, barking, or chewing. Knowing what comforts them, their favorite toys, or where they like to sleep helps me give them the best care possible. I also ask for emergency contacts and vet info, just in case. My goal is to keep their routine consistent and make them feel safe and loved while you’re away.

A typical day

When I watch pets, I make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and stimulation whether that’s playtime, walks, or just relaxing with them if they’re more low energy.

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities from high energy puppies to senior pets who need a little extra love and patience. Whether it’s a long walk, cuddle time, or sticking to special routines like medication or feeding schedules, I treat every pet like they’re my own. One of my biggest and most rewarding jobs was caring for two dogs and a cat for three months while their owners were out of the country. One of the dogs was elderly and required daily medication, slow paced walks, and lots of gentle attention. I kept up with each pet’s unique schedule and made sure they were comfortable, loved, and stress free the entire time.

Christella was great! Our cats warmed right up to her. She followed all the instructions we left for her and she even brought in our packages. I hope to hire her again next time we go out of town.

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.
