Pet care experience
Your Whole Zoo 🦜🐶🐱
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. 🩲
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
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! 🎾
Ratings and reviews
Christina was awesome to work with, she shared many pictures and was very punctual… I highly recommend!!!
We are looking forward to booking Christina in August again. She was great with the animals and communicated with us throughout the. She even sent pictures. We were very comfortable.
Babies were all good and taken care of. Even extra care with new trees that were planted
We had a great experience with Christina. She was punctual, reliable, trustworthy, and kind. Our dog Millie was very sad to see her leave and was obviously attached only after a few days. Thanks so much Christina! We would definitely like to have you back regularly.
Christina was very timely and left my home in the same condition as when I left. She sent multiple updates throughout her stay. I believe my pet enjoyed her care. Highly recommend and would book again!
Christina was very easy to work with wonderful with the dogs. I received updates and they seemed to be very happy and content with her. I would most definitely book her again!

Schedule
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. 🚗
