Fun & Stress-Free Pet Care
Pet care experience
Hi there! I am extremely grateful for you to consider me. Animals are the number one thing I love- that's why I do Rover! I guarantee your best friend will have fun! While your pup is my care, they’ll be plenty of things for us to do; We go for walks, play at the park, and just chill on the couch. They are in good hands with me; over 10 years of experience with most breeds, I enjoy working with both cats and dogs. I have six cats and two dogs who enjoys the extra company when your fur baby comes to stay with us! Why Me? I am very reliable and trusted to have your pet in my care; I have undergone multiple background checks and have also passed a federal clearance check. I have been trusted by different people to enter their homes and to take care of their loved ones. I will do my best to accommodate your pets needs and wants; all you have to do is send me a message. I keep my calendar up to date and I am very flexible with times. I ask that your animals are up to date on shots, on current flea and tick medicine, and house trained. What to bring for your fur baby: Enough food that will last 1-2 days more than your expected stay. Life happens often and you may need to extend your stay. I am happy to do that, however they still need to eat, and my dog is on a specialized diet so I cannot share his food with yours. I find it that they settle in better when they have their own bed to lay on; it's best to have smells from home when being in a new environment. I do have extra dog beds if you're unable to bring theirs. We also have dog toys so don't worry if you left yours at home!! If you have additional questions, please reach out- I would love to answer any concerns you may have.

Was limited on how much I could tip lol appreciate you guys always being available to watch Lily when I need to to make it out of town
This was our second time having Christina and Josh watch our dogs while we were out of town. They are very nice and sent lots of pictures of our pups while we were gone. Their profile advertises a big fenced in backyard, which was the case the first time they watched our dogs. However, they did not tell us for this most recent booking that they had moved. They no longer had an attached, large fenced in back yard but instead a small fenced in area that is not attached to their home. We didn’t find this out until we got to their house to drop our dogs off for over a week. If I had known this, I would not have made the booking because our dogs are used to running around and getting their energy out in a large fenced in backyard so this setting was not a good fit for our dogs. Other than this, they are good to work with and you can tell they are animal lovers.
Great job! We’ll definitely hire her again.
Christina was wonderful with our pup and he loved hanging out with her! She was very responsive and took care of our fur babies while we were out for the day.

BIG BACKYARD!!! Play area IS FENCED IN !! We have a total of 1 acre that we are in the process of FULLY FENCING in with a privacy fence During the summer days they will only be let out in mornings and evenings due to extreme heat- we have ac indoors and plenty of space inside for them to play around and still be in their own area in case they want some quiet time.

A typical day
I live close to surrounding neighborhood parks and dog parks, and also have a friendly puppy to keep your fur baby some company. We love going for walks, so your pup may be ready for a nap when you pick them up. My dog is also a couch potato so there will definitely be some nap time in between walks and play time

Availability
During the week my partner works from home and is allowed three breaks. During those breaks he takes them on a good 15–20-minute walk. When I am home in the morning and evenings I walk/play with them, and on weekends we take our dogs up to 4 walks a day. (If your dog has a medical condition that requires less exercise, I MUST be made aware prior to drop off)
