Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal Lover in Winters
Besides caring for my own dog for nearly 13 years, including nearly a year of hospice care, I also have experience volunteering at animal sanctuaries and cat-sitting for roommates and neighbors. I consider companion animals to be family members, and the care I provide reflects that belief.
Cat care experience
Christina also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for making Gigi feel so comfortable, loved, and at home!!
I knew from the moment that Christina came over to meet our dogs that they would be in good hands- she is so calm and unflappable, and clearly understands how important it is to have someone who is reliable and communicative when leaving your pet babies with someone else. Our house was in impeccable condition and our dogs seemed to relaxed- given that they are slow to trust, this is about as high of praise as I can give. We will absolutely be asking Christina back as often as she can to watch our girls ❤️
I absolutely adore Christina. She took such great care of my 4 fur babies (3 dogs, 1 cat) while I was gone this month. They loved her too! Even the youngest dog, Simone, who barks at EVERYONE, warmed up to her quickly and let Christina place the collar and leash on so that she could go on a walk, which she had not done for any previous sitter! She gave amazing care to my senior dog, Sophie, who has a weak bladder now. Christina followed my instructions better than I follow them myself and thus Sophie not only had no accidents in the house, but also never soiled a diaper! I came home to a clean house and happy babies-I could not recommend Christina more strongly!
Our dog Tucker was so happy during his 3 week stay with Christina. She was an excellent dog sitter and I highly recommend her.
Christina is the best! We were looking for a needle in a haystack: a home with no kids or other pets where our “little old lady” husky could spend 21 days . . . oh, and we needed to book it with less than a month’s notice due to our prior plans having fallen through! Christina came to our rescue - she took such great care of Luna and gave us so much peace of mind with her amazing communication and attention to detail! We recommend her 100% and look forward to booking with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Christina!!
Christina was everything you would want in a Dog Sitter. She was committed, responsible, and very caring. We felt very comfortable, leaving our Bogart with her.

Schedule
I work from home, and my schedule is flexible, so I’m easily able to accommodate anything an animal in my care needs. I can provide multiple walks, feedings, and potty breaks a day, whether at your house or mine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Because I work remotely, I’m able to keep your dog or cat company all day. I have a fenced backyard, though it’s small, and I live near a dog park. I have a small crate and a larger soft-sided kennel that can be used if that’s something that makes your dog feel more comfortable; otherwise, pets are free to roam and are welcomed on furniture. I have steps to help smaller or senior dogs get on the couch, and there’s a dog bed in every room of my house. I only board for one client at a time, so your dog(s) will have my full attention while you're away, and you'll never have to worry about interactions with other pets. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I'm also privately insured as a pet-sitter through PCI, so your pets are well-covered.
A typical day
I love going on walks and being active (if you live in Winters, you've likely seen me running around town!), and I also have several treat puzzles to stimulate dogs mentally. I cater the activities to the specific animals I’m caring for.
