Pet care experience

Your pet is never just a ‘pet’ ❤️

Hello friends! I’m a work from home sitter, former vet tech, and special needs foster/trainer and carry my own insurance in addition to the guarantees on this platform. I intentionally specialize in working with medical and special needs, cats, high energy breeds, extra large breeds, teething puppies, and even farm animals! I grew up 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 deaf/blind dog like a young puppy, and you shouldn’t want your pet to receive generic or inexperienced 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 😊 I also offer virtual meet & greets!

House Sitting • Aug 28, 2026

I can’t recommend [name] highly enough. She stayed with our golden retriever Riley and our cat Rusty for four nights while we were out of the country, during a week when our building was replacing its hot water system. I’ll be honest — I underestimated how bad the water situation would be. I told her there’d be no hot water, but it turned out the water was off entirely for stretches, and she found that out on her own. She never once made me feel bad about it. She just handled it, with total grace, and kept me updated the whole time with photos and messages so I never had to wonder how the animals were doing from another country. Riley and Rusty were happy and well for and she was generous with her time in a week that asked a lot more of her than she signed up for. If you’re deciding whether to book her, book her. We’ll absolutely be using her again.

Christina was amazing! Communicative and flexible. She was able to give one of my cats’s his medication with zero issues, spent extra time with them and left my apartment spotless. Will be using her in the future!

Christine was amazing! She took great care of my puppy and kept me updated throughout their time together. She was also responsive before, during and after the care. I would highly recommend her!

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!!

Schedule

When I am with an animal(s) aside from needing to leave for errands, or checking in on my pets, I’ll be staying in the home! This is always an important discussion, as you’re not booking someone to bring their friends over or stay half the time.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in an apartment
Does not have a yard
Non-smoking household

Safety, trust & environment

I would take your fur-child for as many daily walks as you need. I hope they like parks, the option to meet and play with others, or even a couch buddy and a nice patch of sunshine.

Pets

A typical day

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