Pet care experience

Reliable Pet Care • 50 Reviews

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.

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.

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!)

My 200 pound mastiff was being as uncooperative as he could be when Christina was meeting his twice daily medical needs. She remained calm, patient and caring the entire time. I could not ask for more diligent and loving care for my dogs.

Schedule

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.

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.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
