PET-SITTER

Hello! I hope to help everyone take care of their pets being that I realize how much time is needed to properly care for a furry-friend! I have experience with raising a Chow Chow, St Bernard/Boxer, and a German Shepherd. I truly enjoy taking animals on walks, and I hope to help dog-sit your loved ones! I recently graduated from WVU, and I chose to do this job since I love animals, and to earn additional income aside from my part-time retail job! I live in a home in Williamstown, which has a pet-friendly fenced in backyard space. I live in a great community which has the perfect walking trails for animals. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need a pet-sitting service! I typically work only 4-5 hour shifts at my part-time job, but I can make special arrangements to help walk and care for your pets before or after work! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry pals! I have experience with high aggression dogs and dogs that require daily oral medication or topical creams etc. I own a car that has a pet hammock to transport dogs. Let me know if you would like to come to our home to ensure it is a good fit for your pet before you book an extended stay! One extra perk of booking with me is that I live within a 5 minute walking distance to a veterinary office to help give you peace of mind if I am watching your pet at my home!

Christina is terrific! Couldn't ask for a better sitter. So greatful I don't have to worry about my 7 month old, high energy puppy when she is in her care.

This is our first experience with Rover and with leaving our dog while traveling. Christina was gracious enough to let us come and meet her and see her yard ahead of time. Christina was friendly and almost immediately put us at ease that she/her house was a good fit for our dog. Millie, our Australian Shepherd, spent several days with Christina. Throughout Millie’s stay we got messages and pictures reassuring us that Millie was happy and well cared. Christina was easy to communicate with and we wouldn’t hesitate entrust Millie’s care to her in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard and have no current pets of my own since I recently lost my German Shepherd to Lymphoma </3. We have an entire basement that is completely dedicated to being pet-friendly and many toys to keep your loved one(s) entertained! We do have different sizes of dog crates on hand if your pet prefers to be in a crate during resting hours. I can offer walks to your animals based on their needs.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs on walks throughout my neighborhood. I am also willing to go to nearby dog parks if the dog is able to travel! I love throwing ball and having playtime with pets!

I like to know your pets eating schedule and portion sizes, and if the dog/cat is currently on any medications! I would love to know the pets play schedule, walking schedule, food/treat requirements, and potty habits! Also I would like to know if the pet is afraid/aggressive of other animals or aggressive towards people/children!
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.
