Pet care experience

Generous giver of belly-rubs

I am the proud fur-mommy to two cats and a basset hound. All of my pets are rescues, so I know that each dog and cat has his or her own story and quirks. Whether your dog is an adventurer that loves hikes and playing fetch, is a socialite who enjoys trips to the farmers market, or prefers Netflix, ear-scratches, and naps in the sunshine, I tailor my care to fit your family's needs, schedule, and personality. I know that leaving your pets behind while you go to work or travel can be stressful, so I ensure that my pet parents receive updates and check-ins. My goal is to make your pet’s time with me as comfortable as possible by recreating their usual routine when it comes to feeding, exercise, potty breaks, bedtime, etc. *I AM VACCINATED* I am also happy to wear a face mask and/or practice social distancing during in-person meet-ups. If I house sit, I will take precautions to disinfect upon my departure. I ask that you do the same before my arrival. If anyone in your household has tested positive for the flu, Covid, RSV or experienced symptoms within 7 days before your house sitting is scheduled, please cancel your appointment. Your payment will be refunded. I am not comfortable providing overnight house sitting if you have interior cameras in your home. Thank you for understanding.

Safety, trust & environment

To ensure the safety of all pets in my care, I require up-to-date vaccinations. Unless your yard is securely fenced in, I do not allow dogs off-leash. Please include all information regarding pet temperament and care in your care instructions so I can tailor to your pet’s individual needs.

Christina was absolutely amazing and the kitties loved her! She was so considerate and always kept me up to date on everything which is especially appreciated when one of the cats is currently recovering from an illness. One of my cats can be a little spicy and she definitely made it easy for her to warm up to her. Would highly recommend!

Christina is an absolute joy. I booked her for a walk & she was wonderful. She was punctual, caring, thoughtful & very thorough. My pupper, Boog adores her & I plan to book her again. I highly recommend using Christina.

Christina really came through in my time of need. She takes such great care of my Benji and Bailey and even manage to navigate my patio construction with grace and humor expressed through her daily updates. She has taken some of the best pictures of the pups too! Highly highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Schedule

I am a university professor and have the flexibility to work with your schedule and to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. Please note that I do not typically book appointments more than 2 months in advance, and my calendar reflects accordingly.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Christina can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Please provide important details like vet info, meals and food, bathroom schedule, fear and anxieties, your pet’s likes and dislikes, and safety information in your Rover profile. Pets MUST have all required vaccines up-to-date. I typically also require dogs to be spayed/neutered. If your dog is not fixed, please note and discuss with me prior to booking. For safety and in accordance with Rover’s policies, unless you have a fully-secure, fenced-in yard, your dog will be kept on a leash at all times. I politely ask that dog owners provide poop bags for walks. This helps me keep costs low for my clients.
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.
