Pup love is the best kind of love!

Pet care experience

I have a ton of love to give and energy to expend and find there's no better companion to share those activities with than a dog. The owners of the dogs I have looked after in the past say I don't take their pups for walks, I take them on adventures! That's a motto I like to adhere to. No matter your dog's energy level, I'm happy to provide them whatever exercise they need (walking, jogging, hiking, swimming, etc.) along with whatever level of cuddling they so desire. I signed up for Rover based solely on my love for pups of all shapes and sizes, not really for money. I try and build a loving relationship with each dog I look after using only positive reinforcements and am more than happy to communicate via Snapchat or other mediums to send periodic photos/videos of our adventures together (minor disclaimer: my profile states only 70% of clients receive photos but that's only because I prefer the ease of snapchat for the sheer number of updates I like to provide + the option to geotag/timestamp photos).

Christina is amazing!! Our shy and very particular animals (2 dogs, 1 cat) took to her immediately! We almost wonder if they like her better than us! :) Constant pictures, exceptional care, and coming home to a clean house were so appreciated! Highly recommended for animal/house sitting!

WOW!! Christina is AMAZING! Our doggos loved her immediately and I felt very comfortable having her stay in our home while we were away. Also, I don’t know how she managed it, but she was able to take both of my highly energetic and STRONG dogs on a hike! They were happy and tired when we arrived home and the house was just as we left it. I’m thrilled to have found her ?❤️

Christina is so wonderful!! She left the house better than she found it and she sent consistent updates about our boy. Our pup instantly took to her and seemed really relaxed the entire time we were away. We have already booked her again for another trip and plan on consistently using her services! Keep it up Christina! You rock!

Christina was great. Tons of updates. Lots of photos. She kept Moose on the move - by the time we got home he was all tired out from his activity. Christina was responsive to messages and prompt. She stayed at our house and everything went smoothly. We would use her again without a doubt

Information Christina R. would like to know about your pet

The level of affection they require/enjoy (the more the better!). I have looked after both large and small dogs and everything in between (eg. Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Golden Retrievers, Jack Russel Terriers, Yorkies, Chihuahuas, every poodle mix under the sun, etc.) and love them all equally, though I'd be lying if I didn't say I preferred medium-to-large dogs. I enjoy an active lifestyle which is made all the better with a canine companion who can tag along.

A typical day

I frequent: Cranberry Park in Norwalk, Mianus River Park in Stamford/Greenwich, Pomerance Park in Greenwich, Huntington State Park in Redding, Weir Farms in Wilton, the Norwalk River Valley Trail and numerous other/smaller parks spread out all over the place. I even have a few super secret trails in the Pound Ridge area where your pup and I can adventure unheeded should they not get along with other dogs/children/people. Many of these places have ponds/rivers if they're a swimmer, too! Of course, I am open to going to dedicated dog parks if your dog is a socializer. Really, I'm up for whatever puts that unmistakable pup 'smile' on their faces, you know the one.
