I do not at this time have a pet of my own. I tend to take on the pups who have issues with not getting along with other pups or have special needs. Not having my own pup helps you find a safe loving place for your pup.

Information Christina R. would like to know about your pet

I Love all breeds! I like to know what quirky things your pets like and dislike, both good and bad. Information is importation to keep pets and myself safe.

A typical day

I love going for walks, and playing fetch and tug of war! I love taking pups for walks on local trails if your pup is ok with that. If your dog likes play dates, I have friends, family, and clients that love to plan play dates with their fur babies. I can also work on basic training issues while they are in my care.

1 ON 1 PETCARE

Pet care experience

I am a true pet lover who will take care your pet as if they where my own. I have been taking care of dogs and cats by house sitting and boarding here on Rover for 6 years. Before that for a few years I did the same for friends and family in their home or my own. I took this part-time business to a full-time business 3 years ago. Your fur baby is my main focus everyday. If you need me for your home, not only can I focus on your pet(s), I can check your mail, put out garbage and just be a presence in your home while you are away. I can also check in on your pets daily to play and take out for a walk. If you prefer to board in my home, I can do that also. I live in a basement apartment situated on a large piece of property in a quiet neighborhood. I can give walks around the property and down the road for exercise and potty breaks. Sometimes cats just need to be checked on, loved on and litters cleaned. What ever you need I can probably take care of it for you and your pet. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs with fear anxiety.

Christina was excellent! We booked her months in advance and planned a meet up for the month before. Communication was top notch & I felt extremely comfortable leaving my dog with her for the weekend. Our dog is massive, not great on leash, and has reactive tendencies. Christina never hesitated and made sure she had all the information she needed. Christina treated our dog as her own. I would happily book again and recommend her to anyone needing care!

Took care of my boy short notice for a few days while I had a family emergency. Super sweet, and caring, big yard for my dog to run around.
