Safety, trust & environment

I take notes on the details you share with me on what is needed for your pet and what is allowed/not allowed. I treat your home with respect and ensure that I am with your pet at all times while there.

Information Christina D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special needs or behaviors I need to be on the look out for. Example with Wilson, we take a soft muzzle out on walks in case there are several dogs also out that may want to meet him. Does your pet eat at a specific time or has a special treat? Is your cat a sneaky one that wants to run outside? Anything you think that may be useful for me to make your pet comfortable and happy, please share!

A typical day

This is very dependent on your pet and their special quirks. If I use my 10 year old and 15 year old cat as the examples, Wilson has at minimum 3 walks a day, typically long ones (30 min) in the morning and evening. He doesn't play too well with others but other dogs I have watched will play with others in the park. There will be plenty of pets throughout the day and treats after walks. Loki loves to be on video calls so if that's scheduled, he is very happy, otherwise taking a siesta at the window or my lap will occur.

Pet care experience

Hi there, per parent! I'm Christina, a US-expat living in the Lombok area. As a fellow pet parent for as long as I can remember, I understand the stress about finding support when you need someone to help with watching your furry friend. Currently the pet-mom to cat, Loki, and dog, Wilson. Fun fact - I make it a habit to become friends with all the street cats and other animals on any of my travels. My husband thinks it's hilarious. Besides providing the normal feeding, several walks, litter cleaning, medication, and tons of pets, I'm also happy to watch your plants and home while you're away. Update photos and report cards can be provided, if you like. Should I not be available, I am able to recommend someone specifically for cat sitting and also someone for house sitting or boarding. Please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm more than happy to share good services!

I highly recommend Christina as a cat sitter. She took great care of my two cats while I was on vacation. She regularly send me a message with a photo from her visits. I can see from the photos that my cats are very happy with her. I will definitely book her again.

Christina is the most loving dog-person I’ve met. She is super enthusiast and gives all the love and attention to my dog Bobby. She is sweet and I could see that Bobby immediately felt connected to her. Would highly recommend her!

Great experience working with Christina. Meeting in advance made us feel very comfortable—and our cats did as well. She was professional, communicative, and took excellent care of our two cats. Most importantly, they clearly felt safe and at ease. We would gladly work with 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.
