Christina can care for
Availability
My schedule allows me plenty of time to focus on the pets in my care. I am available seven days a week and prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. Outside of occasional errands or brief appointments during the week, I am generally home and able to spend most of the day with your pets, giving them the attention, companionship, and supervision they need to feel comfortable and secure.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the care instructions you provide and do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. Keeping familiar feeding schedules, walks, and daily habits helps pets feel more secure and reduces stress while they are separated from their owners. I also pay close attention to each pet’s body language and comfort level so interactions remain calm and positive. My goal is to create a safe, relaxed environment where your pets feel cared for and your home is respected.
Information Christina S. would like to know about your pet
Before a booking, I like to learn as much as possible about your pet so I can provide the best care while you’re away. Helpful information includes feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, and any special instructions for daily care. I also like to know about your pet’s personality and behavior. For example, whether they experience separation anxiety, have any triggers or sensitivities, or if they are known escape artists. Knowing these details ahead of time helps me prepare and keep your pet safe and comfortable. The more I understand about your pet’s routine and preferences, the easier it is for me to make their time away from you feel calm and familiar.
A typical day
I like to start the day with a calm morning greeting, which might include scratches, gentle attention, or a little play depending on what your pet enjoys. After that we settle into the routine you’ve established, including feeding schedules, walks, and any medications if needed. During the day I make sure pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and enrichment. This might include walks around the neighborhood or a nearby park, playtime with favorite toys, or simple engagement activities that keep them mentally stimulated. In the evening we wind down together with a calm routine so your pet can relax comfortably at home. Before bedtime I do a quick check to make sure toys are picked up, outdoor areas are tidy, and everything is settled for the night. My goal throughout the day is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.

Pet care experience
I have been caring for dogs and cats professionally for several years and have worked with animals of many different ages, temperaments, and needs. Through my pet sitting work and ongoing education in dog behavior and training, I’ve gained experience reading body language, understanding comfort levels, and helping dogs feel safe and relaxed in their home environment. My focus is always on calm, attentive care. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and preferences so they can stay comfortable while their owners are away. Many dogs also enjoy simple enrichment during our time together such as structured walks, basic manners practice, or scent games that engage their natural instincts. Over time I’ve cared for energetic dogs, shy or sensitive dogs, senior pets, and multi-pet households. Every animal is different, and I enjoy getting to know what helps each one feel secure and happy.
Reviews
This was our first time using Rover. Thanks to such a great experience with Christina, we'll be back! She kept us updated on our pups while we were away and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. I think they're missing her as much as they missed us!
Stumbling across Christina’s profile in our scramble to find a last minute overnight Petsitter for our pittie a kitty was such a win! She went above and beyond to make our girls feel comfortable and was a great communicator throughout her stay. Would hire her again in a heartbeat (and plan to!)
Took wonderful care of my babies and my house, I loved all the pictures and videos that she sent me throughout my work trip and I cannot wait to book with her again for my future upcoming trips
Christina was great with my pup! Caring for her just like I would! Highly recommend! Will absolutely be booking her again!
