Pet care experience

Hi my name is Christie and I am a huge Animal Lover! To me, dogs and cats aren’t just animals they are lifelong companions. 💕 I have many years of experience caring for a multitude of animals (30+ to be exact). As a kid, we had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds you name it. In high school, I worked for a groomer and learned a lot about how to properly care for different animals. I've always had a passion for rescuing because of my mom and her love of rescuing/saving animals in need of a home. It’s something that she passed down to me. RIP Momma I Miss You! ❤️‍🩹 My philosophy is that every animal deserves to know what love is in its fullest form so that is what I strive to provide to each and every animal in my care. We have a 2 beautiful rescue cats Bella and Lio as well as a 1.5 year old rescue dog named Nova. They are my furrkids, my companions, my therapy animals, and my little loves. As a self-employed cosmetologist, I am blessed with a flexible schedule which allows me the opportunity to be here to help care for your pet companions in the best ways possible. I have references I can provide from those whose animals I have cared for previously that I will happily provide. Exercise is important to me so we like to spend time taking the animals we care for on long walks or hikes, swimming, or to the park to chase a ball or frisbee. I strive to give them the love and play time that they deserve. 🫶🏻

Christina came for a drop in visit with my two Old English Bulldogs. She was fabulous with communication and sent multiple pictures and updates. When we got home she had left calming music playing for them, which was such a thoughtful touch. We will definitely request her to sit fir us again in the future.

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.
