Pet care experience
Hi there. 👋🏼 I have been fortunate enough to care for fur- and feathy-babies through Rover for some great clients over the last few years as well as for friends and family most of my life. ☺️ I grew up with 2 labrador retrievers and have kept cats, a rabbit, and gerbils. In college I also served at the SPCA, where I cared for dogs and cats, taught basic commands, and assisted prospective owners with adoption. 🦮 I now care for my husbird, Pidge, a pigeon I adopted from the Wild Bird Fund, where I volunteered as a caretaker and rehabilitation assistant for injured wildlife. 🦅 Pidge is an excellent traveler and usually accompanies me for overnights — please let me know if you have a bedroom or bathroom where he can stay behind closed doors. He’s non-destructive and wears a diaper. Yeah. A diaper. 🩲
Reviews
Loved having Christina in our home!! Our animals took to her right away! She sent updates and pictures often. We will be using her again!
Our pups loved their time with Christina! The dogs were happy and the house was clean when we came home from a long trip. Christina gets all the stars!
Christina was absolutely amazing. She is so thoughtful and caring. Our pets were well taken care of. It was such a load off our minds knowing they were in great hands!
Christian was very helpful and flexible especially for such a last minute request. Yoyo loved her and she left me the cutest little pictures of Yoyo. I appreciate her very much!

I do my best to deviate as little as possible from pets’ usual routines. If you can leave me a short cheat sheet with their usual habits that’d be great! I’ll take a picture of that for safekeeping and put their meds schedule (if they have one) in my calendar. 🗓️ My goal is to keep them comfortable and contented at home while their parents are away . . . And to help them feel assured you’re coming back! 🐶 If I’m housesitting, I will send frequent updates on the first day to make sure we have the routine down. After that I’ll usually check in once or twice a day with pics to say hello, but I’m very responsive to direct messages and texts, so feel free to check in in between! 👍🏼 If I don’t respond immediately, I’m probably either driving or my hands are in cookie dough, but I’ll definitely get back to you shortly. 😅 I am typically away 1-2 times a day for up to ~4 hours at a time (that means ~16-24 hours a day at your home). I can provide potty breaks about every 4 hours. 🐾 Outside of that I will let your friend lead the way! I will pet or play with her if she asks me to, but I will also respect her space if she just wants to watch TV or nap. 😴 Let me know if she has a favorite toy, game, treat, or tickle spot and we’ll carve out time for it! 🎾
Information Christina K. would like to know about your pet
Does your pet have any special needs? A strict schedule? Does he take medicine? Is he friendly with people and other animals? Does he pull on walks? Have a neighborhood nemesis? Please leave me vet info (if you have a preferred provider) and the number for a local friend in case of emergencies.

Availability
I run a small baking business part-time that puts me in the kitchen just 1-3 times a week. I’m also a rideshare driver, so my schedule is usually flexible and I can serve a wide area. 🚗
