Safety, trust & environment

A home is very important and should be treated with respect. Safety is important as I'm one of those individuals who double-check all doors have been locked before leaving the vicinity. My sole focus is your canine/feline buddy and nothing else.

Information Christina H. would like to know about your pet

If the dog has any special needs or is allergic to anything specific. Taking a canine buddy outside of their home is exposing them to all sorts of encounters and it's important for me to know anything that the dog should avoid.

A typical day

First, I'd like to first brush the dog if the owner is alright with it. Next, I'd take a stroll at the closest park to the home of the dog and we'd have a grand o' time. Depending on the dog, we can take a sweet calm walk or a brisk jog around the park. If the dog is a fan of fetch, we'll do that!

Pet care experience

I have been a cat owner for the past 12 years and loved every minute of it! From cleaning up hairballs to brushing stubborn mouths, I cannot imagine my life without my two little furry babies. Although I have never owned a dog, I'm the one my friends go to whenever they're in need of a sitter. I understand it's important for them to open up to me at their own pace and once they're comfortable, it's all-around fun time with squeaky toys and head rubs!

We are endlessly grateful for Christina. We got married this past weekend and had never used Rover before. She made us feel so comfortable with the process and came by to meet our cats ahead of time. She left incredibly detailed notes on our kitties and their well being, with the cutest photos and videos. Christina went out of her way to meet our needs. We will be using her again for every trip we can!!!

Christina was absolutely amazing with our Joey. She did so many little things for him that I didn’t even ask her to do, and that honestly meant so much to us. It was such a pleasant surprise to see how much care and attention she gave him. You can really tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and Christina was so kind and caring with Joey. Knowing that he was being taken care of so well gave us so much peace of mind. We were honestly surprised and so happy to see how comfortable and happy Joey was. I’m definitely going to hire Christina again whenever we need someone to take care of Joey. She went above and beyond without us even having to ask, and that says a lot about the kind of person and pet sitter she is. Thank you so much, Christina, for taking such wonderful care of our Joey. We truly appreciate everything you did for him! ❤️🐾

Christina was absolutely wonderful with our cats, Freddy and Jerry! She took excellent care of them and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely enjoyed spending time with them. She kept us updated throughout the stay with thoughtful messages, pictures, and videos, which we really appreciated and looked forward to each day. We came home to two well-cared-for cats. We truly appreciate the love and attention she gave them and would gladly book her again. We highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter!

I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter! Christina took wonderful care of my cats and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring, and it was clear my cats were happy and well looked after. Coming home to two relaxed, content cats said it all. I'm so grateful for the love and attention she gave my girls, and I would happily trust them again. I will definitely be requesting Christina's services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
