Information Christina V. would like to know about your pet

I work from home, availability is not limited, and normal walk every 4-6 hours is possible. If there are any allergies please specify. Dog must be good with children. Dog MUST be crate trained, house trained & potty trained. If they aren’t trained “NOT TRAINED,” owner MUST bring a crate for pet to be held in during sleep hours. Price’s do vary and can be less than what is on the app, Rover does inflate prices for the area and to get there percentage, so yes the prices, can be modified

A typical day

I usually try to take the dog on hikes and to the dog park. We have a great Starbucks in the area which gives out pup treats and cups.

Flexible able to step in quickly

Pet care experience

Im really Flexible able to step in on short notice I am Calm and able to adapt and be patient with any pet even if they don't behave as expected, my job is to stay calm so your pet doesn't feel and react to the anxiety. I have to be Sensitive to you're pets needs recognize the needs of your pet and responds to them. or realizing that your pet doesn’t want to play anymore and give them space. I am also Trustworthy, Experienced Especially when your pet is high maintenance or challenging in terms of care. Consistent, If you don’t allow your pooch to lie on the sofa or sleep in your bed, your pet sitter should not undo your training by bending the rules. The person you hire must be firm and consistent

Christina has been a lifesaver for me. Its so great to be able to schedule a walk and a visit for my dog, Jack, on days I have to work late or go out of town. So much easier then dropping off at a boarding center. Jack gets to enjoy the comfort of his own home, without all the unnecessary stress that boarding causes. 417 Pet Sitting goes above and beyond too! So much more love for my guy than he would get in a “prison cell” at a boarding center. I know Christina treats him with as much love as possible and that is vital for me to know when I already feel so guilty for leaving him. Gives me great peace of mind and I would recommend her services to anyone! Very affordable as well. ~Don
