Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, Patient, Fun Home for Dogs
I have experience with dogs from 2-100 lbs, as well as aggressive and senior care. My goals are to keep your pup in their regular routine to ease their separation anxiety and to allow you to enjoy your time away. Boarding-your dog will sleep in our living room, garage, or backyard based on their usual routine. I would love for them to come with their own bedding or toys to keep them comfortable. One family of pets at a time in our house. I work a flexible, part-time job and can make arrangements for special needs (meds, potty breaks, etc.) as needed throughout the day. Drop in visits-I will visit your pup in your home and help keep their usual routine whether this be a walk, play time, cuddle time,or just a snack and a minute to potty. Dog walking-I will come to your home, put a leash on the pooch, and head out on the pre-determined route of your suggestion. I prefer dogs to be leash trained, potty trained, kennel sleepers, and not escape artists. But, as long as you are transparent about their needs, I am flexible. We have had several dogs in our home of varied sizes and needs. In 2020, myself and my husband lost our favorite girl Maddie who was a 14 year old American Bulldog and have decided that instead of adopting another dog, we want to host your pup in our home or even a few walks and visits as needed. We are looking forward to the companionship and exercise that having a dog around affords and can't wait to meet you and the pooch.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I can’t recommend them enough! They took amazing care of Jetson and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos, which meant so much to me. They were also incredibly flexible when my plans changed and went out of their way to accommodate Jetson, which I truly appreciated. He came home happy, well cared for, and clearly loved. I would absolutely trust them with Jetson again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet sitters.
Christina was the perfect match for our energetic young Arlo! She kept him active, took him to new places, and she knew how to work with his attachment anxiety with patience so we could feel comfortable leaving him with a new person. We really appreciated all of the pics and check-ins!
Our pup is loved and cared for with this host. We get updates and clear communication. Would happily leave our pup with Christina again!
We were extremely happy with Christina. Our dogs were well taken care of and loved while in her care. She and her husband looked after them, and communicated well with us both before and throughout their stay. In the pictures she shared they looked comfortable and at ease.
5 stars to Christina! She would update and send a picture almost everyday with a little description of how our dog was doing. Easily reachable and very affordable!
This is our second time booking with Christina. She is attentive, considerate and so sweet to my pup, Gus. She sent pictures and kept me up-to-date with how Gus was doing. She will be a regular Rover host for us.

I work a part time, mostly remote job. My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate most pet schedule needs. My office space allows pets as well.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard with a fence that goes to the ground, no escape gaps. Pets are a part of the family here and live in the living room on their own bedding from home. I will keep up on their training and take them on walks to the local coffee shop and down to the river if they like socializing.
A typical day
Living in Gladstone, we are just a couple of blocks from a nice walking path and have access to the river if your pooch is a swimmer. In our fenced backyard we can have some fun playing a little fetch, or, if the doggie prefers we can just watch TV. Off leash activities like swimming or dog parks won't take place until we have had several play sessions and we really understand your dog's personality and tendencies.

- No breed preferences, but, I would like to know all the quirks about your dog, including the bad ones. Are they an escape artist, do they eat socks, what does typical whining mean, are they dog aggressive, do they hate bicycles or skateboards, etc. Basically, what makes them most comfortable, what should I be alarmed about, and how can we both make the most of our time together.
