Pet care experience
I'm new to the area and I think working with Rover would be a great way to meet new people and their pups. On top of that, my 10-year-old Shih Tzu, Spade Pulitzer, could make some new furry friends as well. I’m also currently in graduate school so I have a flexible schedule and what better way to spend my free time then with another pup! Spade Pulitzer isn’t quite as playful as he used to be -- he tends to like to curl up on the couch and take a snooze -- but I’m happy to accommodate your pup’s schedule. I've been dog sitting for friends for nearly 10 years, either watching them in their own home or having them stay with me. I've worked with Dachshunds, German Shorthaired Pointers, Labradoodles, Beagles and Cocker Spaniels. One of my favorite things on Earth is dogs so you can expect that when I'm caring for your pup they will be extremely loved and taken care of. I talk to dogs just like they are people and am also really great at spoiling them with lots of belly rubs, kisses and hugs on a daily basis! I have a happy, friendly and warm disposition and your dog will enjoy lots of walks or a visit to the dog park that's about a mile from my home. I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex and there are lots of pups around and a dog trail where we can take a walk. Not only will your dog be well loved by me, but also by the other residents in the building. I also am about a mile from a huge dog park that we can visit. At night, there will be lots of couch snuggles and an opportunity for some indoor playtime. When I'm not pet sitting, I'm spending time with my own fur baby. We like to snuggle up on the couch and watch the DIY channel together. I really love all things homesteading -- my dream is to live off grid on a completely self-sufficient homestead!
Reviews
Christen is the sweetest person ever! I felt so comfortable with her taking care of my puppy. She sent updates throughout the day with pictures and it was just what I needed. Thank you for everything, Christen.
Christen was the best! She was so sweet and kind with my pup and went out of her way to make sure she was well taken care of during the day. She sent me updates every day with pictures and how a quick recap on how long they walked for. When my pup got sick, Christen was calm and did a great job getting ahold of me so I could get her to the vet. All in all a fabulous experience!
Christen is one of the most committed and passionate people I know. When she commits to something you know that not only can you count on her, but you know that she is going to give her absolute best. When it comes to dogs I'm not sure that you will meet another person more passionate about their love for dogs. She is so loving, caring and patient when it comes to caring for a furry one. I have no doubt that Christen would do a great job as a dog sitter and go above and beyond the call of duty.
We have used Christen for years to love our dogs when we are away! She has her own fur baby and is truly a dog lover. She is completely trustworthy, kind and responsible. One of our dogs is a rescue and she is shy and somewhat difficult. Christen took the time to let our dog acclimate to her at her own pace. You will return home to a completely spoiled animal!

Information Christen R. would like to know about your pet
I have experience caring for a lot of different types of dog breeds so I like to know if your pup has any special needs, from their exercise routine to their diet. I like to know how they are around other dogs and if there are any other issues I should be aware of so that I can provide them the best possible care while you are away.
A typical day
I’m a graduate student so most of the time I am home studying and working, but this is good news for your pup because during the day we can go on a lot of walks or head over to the huge dog park that's about a mile from my house! At night, there will be lots of couch snuggles and an opportunity for some indoor playtime. I also live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with lots of pups around so your dog will never feel lonely! (Of course, Spade will also keep them company.)
