Information Christina C. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet have allergies, boundaries, or triggers I should respect and prepare for? Let’s discuss - I am always up for a chat - say hello!

A typical day

My backyard is a protected forest area. Walks and running free (within a high fence!) is encouraged. I have veteran and medically trained experience with animals high care needs, reactive, disabled pets, medication needs, and service animals. Medication administration and special/medical diets are familiar to me, as I have a special needs pet myself.

Your pet is never just a ‘pet’ ❤️

Pet care experience

Hello friends! I am a student in the medical field- I specialize in working with cats, special needs/high energy breeds, large dogs, puppies, and even farm animals! I have a history of animal husbandry including show/farm animals and training medical service animals. I have also worked in a research setting with primates! It’s been some of the best work of my life! Think smashing large pumpkins and watermelons 😊 A pet is as unique as their owner and each animal has distinct needs, and expected routines. I’d never want someone to treat my dead/blind dog like a puppy, and you shouldn’t want your pet to receive generic care, either. From one animal lover to another, allow me to entrust your family member as part of my pack. Or a respectful cat butler 😊

Christina is amazing, she’s incredibly thoughtful and watches over my cats like they’re her own. I will continue to call on her anytime she’s available.

I’ve used Rover a handful of times and have always been satisfied…until Christine helped me see how absolutely incredible a Rover sitter could be! She loved on my cat as if she was her own pet, and provided great pictures and thoughtful updates. She looked out for my cat’s health and met my cat’s energy level and mood at each visit. Upon my return home, my cat was MUCH more relaxed than she usually is after I leave/after someone else cares for her. I cannot recommend Christine enough!!

Christina was great! She left our house spotlessly clean and our two cats content and purring. She sent photos every day of the boys enjoying playtime with her and doing all of the usual things they do when we are home. They seemed to be completely at ease, with no problem pestering her in the same ways they pester us! We will hire Christina again.

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.
