Information Christina W. would like to know about your pet

Helpful to know your pet’s favorite activity. Do they have a favorite toy and or blanket? Do they become territorial or aggressive in certain areas or with items? For example: rover will growl if you try to take his stuffed bunny from him.

A typical day

Depending on your pet’s energy level we can go on nice long walks exploring. Tug o war is always fun! Fetch and treasure hunt ( that’s when they have to find their treat) are great ways to test their skills and always an enjoyable time. Belly rubs and snuggles -whoever says a dog’s life is hard??

Christina W.'s Neighborhood

Life long pet owner & animal lover

Pet care experience

There has never been a time in my life when I didn’t have a fur baby to love and be loved by. As a child, my mom and I would go on long walks just looking for strays in need of someone to love them. We took in many animals over the years. Cats, kittens, pregnant dogs, the lost and discarded, we have seen them all. A love of animals that has given me an ability to understand their individual personalities and needs. Meet and greets are encouraged prior so that your baby and I can get familiarized with each other and ensure we are a good fit! Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have. Special requests welcome!

Christina dropped in on Benno the cat while we were away on a brief trip. I appreciate Christina's service for many things, here are 3. 1. Flexible: we knew we'd be out of town, we did not know when...until we did. 2. Excellent communication and responsiveness. 3. She is winning Benno over...Have already rebooked!

Christina did a great job watching my pup. She’s very reliable and provided lots of updates on my dog. She does really well with him even though he can be super hyper when you walk in the door. She obviously has a lot of experience with dogs.

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.
