Peaceful, Routine-Based Dog Care

Welcome! I’m Christen — your pet’s next favorite friend! With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I provide a calm, consistent, and loving home environment where every pup feels safe and comfortable. I know how important your dog’s routine is, so I make sure meals, potty breaks, walks, and playtime stay on schedule. My home is designed with your dog’s comfort and safety in mind — two fully fenced outdoor spaces and doggy doors allow freedom and fresh air, and I’m always attentive while pets are with me.

This was an excellent experience in every way. This was my first time using Rover and the entire process couldn't have been any easier. Christen did an amazing job and treated my dog just like her own. I would definitely recommend her and will definitely be booking again in the future.

Bebe and Bandit, our 2 yorkies, stayed with Christen for a week while we were on vacation. I never had to worry about them- she sent me pictures and updates on how they were doing. I have no doubt they were spoiled rotten while they were there! If you need dog sitting in the Pell City area, don’t hesitate to book with her!

To say I was overly satisfied with Christen is just not enough. She is an absolute delight. Her genuine love and compassion for animals radiates through her. This was the first time I had ever left my fur baby in the 2 years I’ve had her, and Christen is the only reason I was able to do that. Her commitment goes without saying. She kept me updated with info as well as pics and video. Christen treated my baby like one of hers and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.

Christen and her family were absolutely amazing to my two pups. I contacted her on very short notice when I had a work emergency, and she was so prompt and communicative. Onyx and Opal had a great time, a lot of cuddles, and they were very well cared for. Will definitely rebook, and I recommend to anyone!

Schedule

My schedule is steady and predictable. I’m home all day three days a week, and the other four days follow a consistent routine with planned care and attention. This setup works best for pets who enjoy a calm environment and can settle comfortably during independent time.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is set up to be a calm, safe, and comfortable place for visiting pets. I provide supervised outdoor time, consistent routines, and personalized care based on each pet’s needs. To keep the environment low-stress, guest dogs are kept separate from my own dogs, allowing for focused, individualized attention. I prioritize safety, clear communication, and regular updates throughout each stay.

Pets

A typical day

I provide structured, predictable days that help pets feel relaxed and confident. Daily care includes scheduled meals, regular outdoor time, and light activity or walks based on each dog’s needs, along with plenty of rest throughout the day. Evenings are when dogs receive the most companionship and attention, as they spend that time in the "man cave" with my family, enjoying play time and snuggles in a comfortable, home-like environment.

To ensure a smooth, stress-free stay, I like to learn about your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special care needs ahead of time. Information about feeding, medications, behavior, and comfort with short periods of independent time helps me provide a calm and consistent experience.
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.
