Availability
I have a flexible schedule with remote, computer-focused work and love to care for my own and others’ pets throughout the day. I am currently available for drop-in visits and walks, but not longer-term stays, just to focus on caring for my own animals!

About Christina H.

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure to approach new friends warmly and leave space for them to get acquainted at their own pace. Once everyone feels safe, I love to spend time playing, moving, exploring, and relaxing with our furry friends!
Information Christina H. would like to know about your pet
Before watching your dog, it’s most important for me to understand how to help your dog feel safe. Do they have any triggers I need to be on alert for us around? Do they like to be greeted in a certain way or have any history of appearing to feel unsafe in certain situations? How do they typically feel and respond around strangers and other dogs? I also love to know their favorite snacks, places, and activities!
A typical day
When near my home in the Lakeway area, I love to explore Commons Ford Park. Walking around Lady Bird Lake is always a great time as well! I really prefer natural trails to sidewalk/asphalt for most walks, if that works for the pup. Fetch and belly rubs are a must, too!

Pet care experience
I have owned animals almost my entire life, and really just can’t get enough time with our furry friends! I love meeting new people and animals. I raised a litter of puppies with my family as a child and started a petsitting business with my best friend in middle school. I love animals almost more than anything and can't wait to meet your little ones! I love photography as well and will be doing my best to send regular pictures that really capture the joy and spirit of your pets. My primary source of income is as a software engineering teacher - in the past, I have worked as an engineer for several companies in the hardware/robotics space, including a couple of years at SpaceX. I’m happy to be getting back into Rover after a few years away - I have my own pets now and am a bit more limited in the services I can provide, but I hope I can accommodate any need and will make sure your buddies are loved on and cared for :)
Reviews
Christina is extremely considerate and accommodating! Dallas was so happy to spend time with her. Thank you for everything :)
Christina once again is everything you’d want in a sitter for your little furry loved ones. Kind, attentive, curious, thoughtful, and also an amazing photographer (added bonus!). Highly recommend!!!!!
Christina is incredible! Our pets probably don’t even realize we aren’t home she gives them so much love and attention. She cares about the details, noticing everything about our pets from eating habits to behavior changes. She asks very thoughtful questions and goes the extra mile. Plus, I think she’s a National Geographic Channel photographer in another life. Amazing pet photos and updates. 100% recommend
Christina is incredible! She took such great care of our fur family. Can’t recommend her enough. It felt so great to know that our pets were safe and happy. She shared consistent updates, and through her insightful questions we could tell if she was truly engaged in helping our pets feel at home. Once again, can’t recommend her enough.
