Safety, trust & environment

I understand it is hard to leave your furry friend so I really do go out of my way to put pet owner's at ease. I will consistently provide updates and photos so you know you are in good hands.

Information Christina G. would like to know about your pet

Before pet-sitting, I like to learn about their daily routine, temperament, any fears or triggers, and specific care instructions. If your pet takes medication, I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and administer it as needed—I’ve had experience with oral meds, topical treatments, and basic care for pets with ongoing health needs.

A typical day

I love making sure pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away! Depending on the pet, I’ll play with their favorite toys, take them on walks or to the park (if they’re up for it), give them lots of cuddles, and keep their routines consistent.

Pet care experience

I have been watching my neighbors dogs for the past 17 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Since I am young and active, I can take your dog on walks and provide plenty of exercise throughout the day. Additionally, I can provide overnight sitting and ensure your house looks occupied. I am more than happy to bring in your mail/packages, water your plants, adjust the blinds, turn on and off lights, bring garbage cans to the curb (and back) for trash pick up. I have a cat of my own named Oliver so I also have years of experience with cat care! I can come check on your feline friend and will feed, refresh water, play, and clean the litter box as needed.

Second time she has stayed with our puppy. Great communication and left our house in great shape.

We highly recommend Christina. She was great with our crazy 10month old puppy. Great communication and pictures! Already booked for another stay.

Christina was a wonderful dog walker for us. She is reliable, caring, and treats our dogs like her own. Wayne and Janet always were happy and well-exercised, and i feel completely at ease knowing Christina is taking care of them. We couldn’t recommend her more and the daily pictures and videos were amazing!!

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.
