Animal Loving College Student

Pet care experience

I am a University of Miami senior who loves all animals. I grew up with two dogs (portuguese water dog and westie) and many foster kittens and puppies. As a foster parent, I learned how to take care of sick and weak animals and how to bottle feed the very young ones. In addition, I pet/house sit when I can and enjoy it every time. I spend a lot of time studying and love using dog walks and play time as a good study break. There are few things better than running around with an energetic and curious dog. I am currently not in a position to own a pet, but really miss having one around. So I am really looking forward to meeting your furry family!

Christine was a wonderful dog and house sitter for our 13 year old pup! We could relax and enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. Since our dog is older, we were so happy to find someone with senior dog experience who appreciates the quirks of an older dog :) We will definitely be reaching out to Christine the next time we go on a trip!

Christine stayed with our (2) dogs for 1 week recently. Everything went great and we received daily updates and photos. We returned to a tidy house and content dogs. I hope we can use Christine again!

It was our first time using Rover coupled with our first time leaving our dog Stella with anyone. We found Christine who was quick to respond to our request. Christine is very easygoing and has a calm demeanor. She eased ours and Stella's anxieties right away. Stella stayed with Christine for three days and came home happy and content. Christine is a gem!
