Professional Care & Personal Love

*Fully Vaccinated* I have been very fortunate to grow up with animals my whole life - even several at once! I am great with animals of all personalities, but I have my own specialties to be the perfect person to watch over any kind of pet! I am very gentle, fun-loving, and have great experience administering medication. I specialize in cats and pets who may be more shy, apprehensive, elderly, or just need a little extra TLC and patience. I currently have my own fur-baby: a large Russian blue cat named Fred. I have taught him one trick - he can even fist bump! I can't promise that your pet will be giving you high-fives when you come home, but I can ensure that they will be loved on and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live on the South side of Des Moines near Gray's Lake in a large smoke-free apartment building. I have a one-bedroom apartment with my cat Fred who is very friendly and active. He's almost like a dog!

Schedule

My schedule tends to be consistent with weekday work hours from 8am-5pm. I work downtown in a great central option for pets in the area and evening or weekend visits. My work schedule is my own, so if needed I am able to visit in the afternoon or over lunch.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
Christina can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I love to know as much information as I can about your pet - any schedules they are used to, habits, favorite things, least favorite things - anything and everything I can know to ensure that your pet is as comfortable as if you were there!
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.
