I provide safe positive compassionate handling. Pets in my care are happier and better handled when they leave me than when they began. Let me help you and your pet connect.

Information Christina D. would like to know about your pet

My goal is for your pet to be as comfortable as possible while you’re away so I need to know things that they like and dislike any health concerns or allergies and what they do on a normal day.

A typical day

When I’m sitting overnight, we usually get up at about seven and have breakfast and a walk. I will be in and out during the day. I try not to leave alone for more than a few hours. then we settle in at dinner time in the evening.

Christina was great with my dog! He’s a bit nervous and shy, but she took the time to get to know him so he was comfortable with her for a chilly weekend!

I have a dog who does have some anxiety which turns into a pancreatitis flare up. He also requires eye meds multiple times a day. This was our first time with Christina and she made him so comfortable there were no issues while I was gone. She also provided multiple updates a day just putting all of us at ease. I’d use her again without thinking twice.

Christina was absolutely amazing with my dog! She was patient in getting to know and understand him. It was nice for me to be able to travel to my daughter’s wedding knowing my dog was in such good hands.

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.
