Availability

I do Rover full time, so I have multiple clients I travel to all over Austin everyday, I just added my husband, Felipe, to help with walks around town so in case I'm not able he can help fill-in for me (just let me know ahead of time if the dog is reactive to men in which case I'll be sitting in on or walking) 😉

Safety, trust & environment

When I'm at the clients home, I will usually check for any holes in the fence or anything that is unsafe for the pet to escape from or get injured from, when walking I have a walking belt I clip the dogs leash on so they are always secure and unable to break away from me. I am always cautious around busy streets (cars and dogs do NOT mix, unless they're going for a ride 🤩) I will usually take the least busiest street closest to the clients house. For cats I respect their spaces, if they're scared I will let them be (usually first time meets are scary for them unless they're social) any kind of injuries or concerns will be automatically addressed with owner's on my visits even if it's small things. You will hear it first from me rather than finding out later. I'm very observant!

Information Christine & Felipe C. would like to know about your pet

My main thing when I walk dogs are if theres any possible triggers the dog/dogs might have and what all we need to avoid if any, I want the walk to be the most calm and enjoyable for the dog as possible!

A typical day

Fetch is a very fun one with the pups, if not TOYS are 2nd best! After walks I give them water and if we have more time, depending on their temperament I'll usually play with them with their toys they have! I love it! It shows their true personality comes out during play!

Pet care experience

I take pride and consideration in caring for all types of animals, your furry baby will be safe in my care! I have experience working at Petco with exotic animals. I have 15 (yes fifteen! 😁) wild and crazy dogs, 6 chickens, 4 Rodeo goldfish (can't forget about them) a pot bellied pig, and several outdoor cats that we feed and house. We live on 2 acres near Lockhart and I commute to Austin everyday for my clients! They mean the world to me and I love my job! I have been working with Rover since 2018 and I love every bit of it and wouldn't change a single thing! This is my Full time job and I typically walk 5-10 dogs (sometimes more) a day but am never too busy to add more walks/visits I have also recently added my husband to my account so he can help out with walks in case I'm doing a sitting! (*Let me know if your dog is reactive towards men to which I'll gladly walk them!*) I have walked the biggest dogs (108lbs) to the tiniest babies I ever laid eyes on, so I'm experienced in any type of breed big or small! I have also trained a few not to pull on leashes and a few tricks as well as cleaning up messes! Nothing big just the basics of training. 😁 I hope you'll allow me to walk your pup or even just play with them, that's always fun too! 😉 I am a stay at home mom so I'm always available at any time of day or night as well! No walk is too early or too late, or too far! Any instructions left for the pet will be thoroughly followed, I will also as well clean up any messes and clean up your fuzzy baby if they get dirty while in my care! I will take the best of care for you baby as if it were one of my own babies!

Christine and Felipe were awesome! Quick to respond, on time, and left the place looking exactly like I left it. My cat was happy and healthy upon my return. 10/10 sit!

Christine did a wonderful job staying with my elderly feeble cat and energetic Aussie. She provided lots of TLC and sent updates and photos. I appreciate her very much!
