I'm currently in college taking classes online, so I'm at home with some free time on my hands. It's nice to have the flexibility to manage my schedule that way

Information christina r. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special needs of your dog that I should I account for, if they bark often/at night, if they’re potty trained and friendly with other dogs and if they have any injuries or anything wrong with them that I should watch out for!!

A typical day

I enjoy keeping pets active and engaged. If they want a walk, I will take them for a walk. If they enjoy playing fetch, I am happy to play with them. I aim to meet their needs and ensure they have a fun and stimulating experience.

Pet care experience

I have a year of experience fostering a variety of animals, including kittens, adult cats, puppies, and senior dogs. My friends and family have also relied on me to walk, feed, and provide companionship for their pets. Additionally, I have experience in training puppies and providing specialized care for older dogs, which sets me apart from other sitters.

This was the first time I’ve ever left my dog with anyone, I felt very comfortable leaving Tucker with Christina. She sent me photos and updates during his stay with her which helped relieve my anxiety. I would definitely use her again.

Very kind and responsive, Luca sometimes struggles with separation anxiety and she was great with him. We are grateful.

Christina was great with my dog. She watched him for 2 nights at her house. She built trust with him and made accommodations to make him feel comfortable at her house (sleeping in the bed with her). She communicated with me on how he was doing daily. I would book again with Christina.

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.
