Passionate & Attentive Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I have been working part-time on Rover since October of 2024. Before Rover, I worked at Camp Bow Wow in Sandy from November 2023 to August 2024, and I loved every minute of it. For 10 months I spent 35 hours each week caring for 25-85 dogs at a time; I fell in love with each pup I had the pleasure of caring for. I learned so much and gained invaluable experience: - I gained a great understanding of how our dogs communicate, including understanding body language and other nonverbal cues. - I took care of dogs as young as 4 months and as old as 18 years! - I managed feeding, medicating, and caring for up to 85 dogs at once - I worked with dogs of all personalities, including dogs that struggled with fear, anxiety, or reactivity. - perhaps most importantly, I learned that it’s possible to love hundreds of dogs as if they’re your own! In addition, I have been fostering a 3yo pitlab mix for the past 5 months. He is the sweetest boy, but he struggles with anxiety and reactivity from his past. He has taught me so much about working with dogs that struggle more with reactivity and anxiety. I will always follow your pet’s cues and make sure they feel safe and loved. I understand that our pets are our babies and I am happy to answer any questions you may have!

Christina was great! She was proactive for the meet and greet, took great care of our lil cat, and kept us updated with pictures throughout our vacation. Would book again. Thanks Christina!

Christina was great with our babies. She needed to reschedule times a few times but was communicative about it ahead of time. Thank you for making sure our dogs had the attention and time they needed while we were out of town.
