Pet care experience

Large fenced yard!

I am an animal lover to my core and have 12 years of experience giving all my love to every furry creature that comes into my home. I love to have snuggle buddies, but if your pet is shy that's ok too. I have owned pets of all species and have had dogs my whole life. I have worked at veterinary clinics and have education in CPR, basic bandaging, medication administration, and have been trained to identify the signs of seizures before they start and after they have happened. I work best with dogs that have behavior issues such as food aggression, not housebroken, and cat aggression. I can also help teach your dog not to pull as much on a leash without the use of a halter or choker collar. If your dog doesn't need to be crated, I have multiple beds they can lay on and sprawl out. I can offer basic grooming services including bath, nail trims, ear cleaning and teeth brushing. I have experience in some basic cuts and shaves but am not a certified groomer. I use a high reward system to ease the dog's stress during grooming. I do my best to cater to your schedule, like walks, feeding, and bedtime routines to ease the stress of being in a new place. My yard is large and completely fenced in for a lot of outdoor playtime if your dog wants. I'm very flexible and my aim is to make this process as seamless as possible. IMPORTANT NOTES: Although I am flexible, if you wish to have a meet and greet beforehand, I need a MINIMUM of 2 weeks prior to booking start date. I no longer accept boarding for cats. I accept multiple dogs from different families at one time. Rover is my full time job, but there is no guarantee that I am in my house 24/7 as I am an adult human with responsibilities. All collars and harnesses will be tightened appropriately once they are in my care. Please leave retractable leashes at home as they will not be used with me.

Christina takes great care of my dog when we go out of town. She has been wonderful and accommodated us with very little notice on more than one occasion!

Christina was great with Tucker. She went above and beyond to make sure he was taken care of. I highly recommend her and will use her again! Thanks, Christina.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs within my home are given free reign as long as they get along with everyone. If for some reason, the stress of being away from their family is overwhelming, I will separate them into another room so they have time to decompress. All dogs are kenneled when I leave the house this is for their safety as well as they safety of all the animals in my care.

Pets

A typical day

Dogs will get as much time as possible to interact with me and my dogs. My goal is the stimulate their mind and body so they are satisfied at the end of every day and what better way to do that than with play!

Christina can host up to 6 pets per night
I would like to know if they tend to be dominant in a group setting and if they like to shred things like blankets and pillows so I know what to watch for. I do not have breed preferences. I have owned pit bulls, a chihuahua, great Danes, a huskie and GSD mixes. So everyone is welcome.
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.
