★1:1 Care+Private Yard Downtown

I'm Christina, a full-time professional pet specialist serving all of Jersey City, Hoboken, and surrounding areas. I offer pickup/dropoff and your dog gets the space and calm of a private yard in Downtown JC without the noise and chaos of local kennels. Many of my clients are busy professionals who appreciate my flexible scheduling for last-minute work trips and real-time photo updates throughout the day. For me, this isn’t a side gig—it’s my career. I provide a "Boutique Boarding" experience: luxury, structure, and 100% of my attention. I prioritize quality over quantity, ensuring your dog feels like a VIP in a calm, home environment rather than a stressful, crowded kennel. 🛑 THE "SOLO" GUARANTEE I specialize in Exclusive One-on-One Boarding. I do not overlap bookings from different families unless you explicitly request group socialization. Your dog gets my full focus, 24/7. ✨ MY SPECIALTY: CALM & SENIOR CARE I excel with dogs who need a predictable routine: shy rescues, senior dogs, or those with separation anxiety. Whether they are a "couch potato" or need structured mental stimulation, I adapt my energy to theirs. 🔐 SAFETY & PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE • Certified Pro: Red Cross Certified in Pet First Aid & Canine CPR. • Special Needs Welcome: Experienced in administering medication and managing specialized medical routines. • Gated Security: Located in a secure, gated community with 24/7 camera monitoring for total peace of mind. 🏡 THE LUXE ENVIRONMENT • Private Fenced Yard: A rare find in Downtown JC! Your dog has direct, secure access to outdoor time. • Prime Location: Steps away from car-free parks and quiet walking paths. • Always Home: As a full-time sitter, your dog is never left alone for long periods. Check my repeat client ratio and reviews—the proof is in the happy tails! If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your pet like their own family, let’s chat.

Christina is simply the best! I’ve been booking her so much I consider her part of our family. She is so attentive and communicative and thoughtful. My cat Winnie runs to the door when she visits and she does this for no one! Thank you Christina for always going the extra mile! ❤️

Christina has been excellent with my puppy Billie! Billie loves going to her house for doggy daycare. Christina is very responsive and accommodating. She always sends lots of pictures/videos and updates during my puppy's daycare sessions. Definitely recommend booking with Christina!

A typical day

Picture this: Your dog starts the day with a fun walk/potty in one of Jersey City's lovely dog parks, or my very own fenced in yard before or after breakfast. We'll explore the paths, let them enjoy the fresh air, and maybe even find a new favorite tree! Back home, it's playtime in the fenced yard, followed by some cozy rest time on the couch or bed. Throughout the day, there's plenty of snuggling, one-on-one attention, and I'll keep you updated with photos and videos so you can see all the fun they're having. Your dog's home is my home. Mi casa su casa!

♥️ TO PROVIDE THE BEST CARE (FOR PREFERRED CLIENTS) To provide the best possible care, I maintain a detailed record for each furry guest. Please be prepared to share the following: I work best with clients who value focused, personalized care and understand the investment in their dog's comfort and safety. Mealtime Details: Feeding schedule and any specific dietary needs. Medication Instructions: Dosage, frequency, and administration details. Exercise Routine: Preferred activities and energy levels. Social Interactions: Behavior around other dogs and people. Walk Preferences: Leash manners, preferred routes, and habits. Comforts of Home: Special toys, blankets, or routines that bring them joy.
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.
