Highlights
Pet care experience
Your royal fam is my royal fam!
I currently have no pets, I take clients both on and off Rover, have a large yard and Your family will be the only family boarded in my home while you are away. Check my reviews for insights into my care. 🌹💕My work revolves around your dog, or dogs. We can go on morning and Evening walks, car rides, hikes, play inside and out in my back yard. We can also stay in and snuggle if your family is special needs, I am experienced with pups off all walks of life, from blind and deaf, to pups needing daily medication. They will have their own bed 🛋️ while staying, and snuggle time. I am their make shift play date all day. 😜 From special-needs families, to your casual “I love to go hiking”🐶. My single-family home consists of love and attention. I have also worked in pet care boarding facilities, and have been boarding in home for some time both on and off rover. For boarding in my home I have a fenced yard, with a hip high shorter chain link fence for outdoor time. My living room is set up for overnights, I pull the couch bed out for your pups as I don’t allow them in my bed. I am able facilitate special needs such as timed medication, specific meal times or specific hours to be walked.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I have been booking with Christine now for a number of years as I have a job that requires a decent amount of travel and a nearly 12 year old husky who is very particular and very needy. He is not a casual "drop in and check on him" kind of dog and requires a fair bit of attention not to become an absolute terror, and Christine has taken his quirks in complete stride and provided him excellent care on every occasion. Mishka loves staying with her (he gets excited in the car when we take her exit off 1-25) and always comes home happy and healthy. She is my go to sitter in the Springs and I do not forsee that changing for the duration of Mishka's life.
Christina did an excellent job watching my dog, and I couldn’t be more pleased with her care. She kept me updated throughout the stay with messages and adorable photos, which really gave me peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy dog sitter.
Christina took great care of our dogs for a week! We were in a bit of a pickle and needed a last-minute sitter, and I'm so glad we found Christina. Our dogs got lots of attention and outside time, and we appreciated the regular check-ins and photos. We will definitely book with Christina again in the future!
1st time with Christinia. Our active dog was so happy and tired when we brought her home. Christinia did a great job making our baby girl feel comfortable and well taken care of. Would recommend
Christina was very responsive through the whole booking process, and she was very understanding of our dogs nature. We liked meeting her and hope to be able to continue working with her in the future
We have two pretty needy dogs with one of them being deaf, blind in one eye and needing morning and evening meds plus LOTS of attention. Christina is fantastic with special needs dogs. She is almost always home, doesn't have other pets and only takes 1 family at a time. She took tons of pictures and regularly gave them excercise and love. Our dogs had a great time.

Schedule
Rover is my first priority work wise, I also work for my own small LLC which is all online, Uber and Amazon Flex. From walks everyday, play and cuddle time, I work my other jobs around potty breaks, play time and walks. Your family is my JOY not just my job!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I currently have no other pets, and only book one family at a time. Have 4 dogs? I’m your gal! Have a pup that’s reactive to other animals? I’m your gal! I am more expensive than other sitters because your pup is my passion and career, and the only family that will be with me for the entire stay! Plus ya know, we go out on play dates all the time! If your pet needs medication administration, either when I board them, or drop in I am able to facilitate that!
A typical day
In the warmer months we hop in the car and head to hiking trails, Garden of the Gods and have time in the backyard to play. In the cooler months, going on walks may shorten on days that are below freezing but even on those days we may still take longer walks. Lots of snuggles and cuddles and fetch if your fur baby plays!

- If your dog is not potty trained we won’t mesh, I have hardwood floors and can’t risk the damage. That said, let me know their quirks, preferences, favorite places to be scratched and things to do! I can administer medication, orally, topically and have had families with all kinds of special needs pups. Just ask and see!
