Chrissy is your Missy!

Pet care experience

Hello everyone, My name is Christina but you could call me Chrissy. I am new to Rover but I have experience with taking care of animals for over a year. Here is a little bit about me: I am a senior at the University of Illinois at Chicago, studying Communication and Public health. I am also a first-generation college student and an identical twin. I have a lot of patience with all types of animals and cannot wait to get to know you and your pets! I have experience with dog sitting small to medium dogs as well as cats. In fact, I had my very first cat around 3 years old and I currently have my own kitten. I am extremely compassionate and good with detailed instructions, so if you need someone who needs to have good attention to detail I am your gal. I normally go to the client's house just because my cat is special needs and normally does not react the best with other furbabies (he gets a lot of anxiety). I like to keep places clean (such as making sure there is no food or garbage lying around) and keep an eye out on the pets to avoid mistakes. I also allow the pets to come to me first and would never approach them in a rushed manner (unless they are super friendly and cuddly of course). The biggest objective for me is to make sure your pets can trust me, comfort them, play with them, and keep them safe. I hope to hear from you soon!

Safety, trust & environment

My main objective is to make sure your furbabies feel as safe and cozy with me as possible. I normally let the animals come to me, give treats (when and if approved by the owner), and offer playtime if they would like! As for the owners, I ask as many questions as possible and send plenty of pictures throughout the session to secure that your pet is in good hands.

Information Christina A. would like to know about your pet

First things first, any triggers that the dog may have (such as other animals or noises). I ask this question a lot just in case because some dogs are not as friendly or can be too friendly. Others that I will always ask: Are the dogs allowed on the furniture? What are their feeding times and how often should they be fed? Any allergies I should be aware of? What is your protocol if there is an emergency (I have had instances in which the pet owners have a certain way of handling emergency situations with their pets)? And finally, Are you expecting any guests? This is for my personal safety.

A typical day

Depending on the area, I love to walk through local parks and quiet neighborhoods. From my experience, I noticed it is easier for me to bond with the pet if I walk through areas where we can have more intimacy.
