rescue owner & animal lover!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Christina, and I'm excited to be part of the Rover community! With four years in animal rescue, including running my own rescue called Linus & Friends, I've got a wealth of experience. I've been an animal lover and advocate for over fifteen years, and my expertise includes training both puppies and seniors using positive reinforcement. Administering medicine is no problem for me—I've got that covered. I believe in tailoring my care to meet your pet's unique needs and will always respect your preferences on how to interact with them. Can't wait to provide a loving and attentive experience for your furry friend!

I am so glad that I found Christina after moving to Bayonne. I was so worried about not having anyone that was able and reliable to take care of my little pups. Thankfully, I reached out to Christina and she has been nothing but amazing for my little pups, Ella & Vlad! They adore her, and so do I! 10 stars for Christina!!

My fur baby, Luke, is super anxious and has never done well with pet sitters. Last year, I had to leave town last minute, and Christina was a life saver. She memorized Luke's eating patterns and his special diet that he has for digestive issues. When I came back, Luke was not only healthy, but the happiest I had seen him after hanging out with a pet sitter. He, honestly, seemed sadder to see her leave than me. Ever since then, she has to been my go-to dog walker and sitter, and my dog has never been more grateful.

Absolutely fantastic experience with Christina! Her genuine care and dedication to my fur baby Puddles is unparalleled. She has been incredibly reliable, always ensuring my dog gets the exercise and attention needed. I greatly appreciate her consistent updates and flexibility with scheduling. I feel at ease knowing my dog is in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend Christina for their professionalism and love for animals!

I am so glad I found Christina on Rover! she has been as incredible with my puppy, Luis! He loves her when she comes by! She is great with him and informs me of their walks, how he does on their journey and if there is anything at all that we need to address. She is great & whenever I saw "Christina is coming!" to Luis he jumps and his tail wags !!!

Safety, trust & environment

In my boarding services, I create a comfortable space in my home with designated areas for each pet, ensuring they have cozy bedding and toys. I stick to feeding schedules, accommodate dietary needs, and prioritize daily exercise and playtime. Individual attention and affection are key, mimicking the care they receive at home. For check-ins, whether in my home or the client's, I follow instructions meticulously, including feeding, medication, and specific needs. I provide a reassuring presence, spend quality time with the pets, and maintain regular communication with owners through updates, photos, and notes. During walks, I tailor the experience to each pet's needs, confirming preferences with owners beforehand. Safety is a priority, and I pay attention to the pet's behavior while providing exercise, mental stimulation, and hydration. Cleaning up after the pet is part of the service, ensuring a positive experience for both the pet and the community. Building trust through clear communication and genuine care is at the core of my pet care services.

Routines bring me joy, and caring for my pets is a key part of it. Within our already steady and important routine, we make sure to carve out time for play and training sessions. Animals are one of my biggest interests, so dedicating time to them is a given. As a devoted owner, I've structured my days around meeting their unique needs—feeding, playtime, walks, and training. I've consciously chosen to forgo activities like drinking or partying, channeling my time into creating a stable and nurturing environment for my pets. This intentional focus not only aligns with my values but also adds a sense of purpose and fulfillment to my daily tasks. It's a reminder that, for me, a well-organized routine and the companionship of my pets go hand in hand.
