Availability

I'm available for most pet-care needs, whether it's a mid-day walk/potty break, giving medication, or just spending some time with your pets while you're at work so they're not home alone! If you decide to book with me, I'd like to do a pre-meet to introduce myself and discuss your pets needs so that I know I'm giving them the same care you would!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for my pets with the same sense of diligence I did for my human children, and would expect the same both from a sitter I hired and from myself as a sitter-for-hire. I would prefer to care for a client's pets in their own home, as that is where they are most comfortable, but if boarding is the only option I would make sure to give clients' pets that extra attention to help alleviate the stress of being away from home.

Information Christina I. would like to know about your pet

I am experienced and confident with all kinds of situations, from giving medication to accommodating special needs. Just let me know what your cat or dog (or other kind of pet) requires!

A typical day

As each animal is an individual, I would like to get to know your pet and make sure I incorporate their favorite things into our time together. I used to enjoy the local parks and trails with my dog, and would welcome sharing those adventures with yours!

A lifetime of experience

Pet care experience

Hi! I go by Ryenne and have always shared a special bond with animals, starting with cats and dogs in my youth. As an adult I have also cared for reptiles, fish, rodents, and horses. I am attentive to details and enjoy learning about each animal's unique personality and needs. I found great pleasure in working with my dogs to exercise their minds and learn new things!

I felt so comfortable knowing my pup was being taken care of by Christina. She is so kind, detail oriented and sent great pictures of my dog while I was gone. Would 100% recommend her!!

Ryenne was amazing! It was my first time using a pet sitter and she far exceeded my expectations. My pets received amazing care and loved their time with her, and I appreciated all of the updates and photos I received to put me at ease during my travels. I will definitely be booking with Ryenne 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.
