Trustworthy dog-lover &house sitter

Pet care experience

About me: My name is Christina. I attended San Diego State University and earned a Bachelors in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in Elementary Education. I am furthering my studies by currently working towards a Masters degree in Education to eventually land my professional career in the Education field. I have been a substitute teacher for 2 years as an on-needed basis and fill in for teachers when I am not completing a Rover booking. I am a lover of the beach, pets, and children. Most of all, I have an unwavering passion for helping others. My experience: Pets have a special place in my heart as they have been a part of my life since early childhood. I have experience with a variety of breeds, ages and sizes of dogs. Growing up I was surrounded by several dogs including Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, German Shepards, Poodles, Golden Retrievers, and Chihuahua mixes. After meeting several amazing families while on carecom through babysitting, I would often get asked to watch their home and pets while they were away. This is when I decided to give Rover a go. My promise: I can understand the difficulty of trusting someone in your home and taking care of your pets. I will ease this stress by scheduling a meet and greet with you before you leave to become familiar with your routines for your home/pet(s). I will also offer to share references. Additionally, I will provide honest and consistent communication while you are away with updates and pictures. I would absolutely appreciate the opportunity to love on your pet(s) while you are away. I am available for house sitting for a maximum of 5 nights per booking. Please let me know if you have any questions at all. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to meet your pets soon!

She is great with our three dogs, always punctual, and great at keeping us in the loop with updates and pictures. We recommend her for pet and house sitting.

Christina watches our golden retriever named Bodi when we go out of town for work for 2-3 days at a time. We got her contact from a friend she babysits for. Bodi loves her and we love having a person to turn to and trust with our pet!! 10/10 book her.

Christina walks our sweet dog, Sonia (husky mix, 50 pounds) and spends some hours with her when we can’t get home to her early enough. She is flexible…… Sonia doesn’t warm up to many people, but she did to Christina right then. Christina has such a calming demeanor that I think makes Sonia feel safe. She is passionate about what she does which is helping families while she finishes her degrees - I recommend you book with her. Thanks for your helping hand, Christina…!

A typical day

When I watch your dog, I will make sure to keep them safe, comfortable and loved. If your dog prefers to lay around, I will lay around with them. On the other hand, if your dog has loads of energy, I can adjust to that too! I am very aware of my surroundings and I prefer to walk dogs in a safe and calm environment while keeping distance from other dogs just to be safe. If there are other needs around the house such as watering plants, checking mail, etc., I can help out with that as well. Feel free to ask any questions!
