Work remotely & love the outdoors!

Pet care experience

I've had a huge heart for dogs since I was a young kid! My family had a golden retriever that I always enjoyed taking care of, and in more recent years, I regularly help my friends with their pets, and care for them as I would children! I'm loving, patient, laid back, but assertive if necessary, and I'd be so happy to help care for your pup. I'm a marketing designer, with photography as a hobby, and work remotely so I would be able to care for your dog and play with them thoroughly, and of course, be there for bathroom breaks, feedings, cuddles, and treat giving. I love researching best practices for dogs, quality nutrients, and products -- plus have experience caring for a large range of dog breeds at various ages and health stages too, so you can also count on me to give any medication or special treatment your pet requires. Initial "meet and greets" are encouraged and welcome! I like to reserve them for new serious prospects set on booking with me. If you have questions beforehand, let’s chat on the phone or via message and I can answer anything that comes to mind. If we’re ready to move forward, you can come by in person to learn even more about your pet(s) before the job begins -- and feel share any necessary notes or special quirks at that time too! We'll confirm all. When pet sitting, we’ll communicate daily (afternoon or night — sometimes both) or every other day depending on your preferences, and I’ll include any special moments + send photo updates! I very much look forward to hearing from you and caring for your pets. :) **Updates** Unfortunately, I'm not currently offering services for pups not potty trained :(. If your dog tends to shed more frequently than the average dog, that may also be an issue for dog boarding, but happy to discuss! Also, many of you have generously offered tips for my services — whether for time spent at initial meet and greet, my photography time, or just for extra help /advice. Tips are definitely not required or expected, but since you asked (and truly only if your heart desires)... I’ve set up a *donation-based* tip account link to accommodate — plus pay it forward: paypal.me/2cmuscato 25% of any tip gets donated to a pet organization of your choice -- any nonprofit organization that helps animals in need! Thanks for your kindness and support!

Christina took great care of Fozzy! His demeanor was amazing when I picked him up, he didn’t want to leave. She also provided daily updates with some of the best pictures I’ve seen. Really appreciate the attention to detail and level of care. Thank you so much!

Leaving our dog with Christina was like leaving her with family. We have worked with other sitters, but her experience and kindness really set her apart. You can tell she loves your dog just as much as you do. Her warm, attentive nature created an instant bond with our dog, and we can't imagine working with anyone else!

Christina was great! She went over and above to accommodate for my nervous dog Rue and older lady Luna. She sent pictures which looked like they were professionally done. She asked questions about important things to know and took them to heart. My girls came home super happy and healthy :) Will definitely be reaching out again!

Christina was absolutely without question AMAZING!!! I am a total helicopter dog mom and this was my first experience using Rover! She made me feel completely at ease and took such good care of my pups! They can be a bit anxious and are pretty routine oriented but it didn’t seem to be a problem at all for Christina! I will definitely be looking to use her in the future!! I’m so thankful!
