House Sitting: I typically prefer to house sit for women, especially my independent boss ladies! I know having someone stay in your home can feel a little uneasy, and I want to help take the stress out of that. Being a woman is already enough of an adventure, right? ▪️ Wi-Fi - I’ll need access to during my stay or I can drop-in throughout the day according to your pets needs/routine ▪️ 4 hour limit- Let me know if your pet cannot be left alone for long, as I occasionally have evening plans/commitments (additional fees may apply) ▪️ Overnight Stay - Unless otherwise discussed, I will stay the night ▪️ Indoor Cameras - Please disclose any, as well as anyone who may be present during my stay (roommates, contractors, housekeeping, etc.)

Information Christine G. would like to know about your pet

New to having a House Sitter? No problem! Here are my most common requests. Please let me know the following about your dog: 📌 BASIC INFO ▪️ Daily schedule - Walking, Bathroom, Feeding ▪️ How are they on leash / Triggers ▪️ What commands do you use ▪️ Allowed on furniture/beds ▪️ Not allowed in certain rooms (ie: litter box room, baby room, etc.) ▪️ Do they have anxiety/environmental triggers (ie: thunderstorms, food aggression, etc.) ▪️ Favorite hiding spot 💊 MEDICAL / BEHAVIORAL CONCERNS ▪️ Daily Medication ▪️ Food allergies / Can they have people food ▪️ Non-food allergies ▪️ Obsessive behaviors (ie: chews on plastic bags, licks paws, etc.) ▪️ Special needs (ie: epileptic, going blind, etc.) ▪️ Recent illness/injury ▪️ Recent changes in behavior

A typical day

Whether it's outdoor exercise/sniffing, indoor relaxation, or cuddling when the weather is not cooperating - I'll keep your dogs company. Every dog is unique and deserves customized playtime for their individual needs. For an additional fee, I can drive your dog to training classes or a routine playdate, take them to your preferred groomer, go on hiking adventures, or provide transpiration for specific medical check-ups.

Pet care experience

I’m a dog rescue advocate, pet parent, and remote worker who truly enjoys spending time with animals. My 75lbs rescue pitbull keeps me on my toes - and owns me more than I him! (Ha) When I am house sitting, he will be at home with my partner so I can focus on your pets. My experience includes dogs, cats, and small animals. There is no dog too big! Happy to work with anxious/timid or high energy dogs. I'm comfortable with medication administration, prescription diets, epilepsy, etc. If there is something specific your dog requires, I am happy to talk about it. 📸 I'll send morning photos and a few fun daily highlights to keep you connected and at ease. PS: If your dog likes tennis balls let me know beforehand! 🥎 PSS: Do you have 4+ dogs? Depending on length of stay, I offer a discount! PSSS: First time booking on Rover? Let me know! I offer a discount for new clients 😊

Christine was great with my dogs and I could tell they were very comfortable with her. She gave me updates each day, I could enjoy my time away knowing my pups were well taken care of!

I’ve used Christine in the past and she is always a great fit for my dogs. I have two giants that can sometimes be a lot of energy and she handles them with care and enthusiasm. She sends daily (or more) pics and shows so much love for my boys. Highly recommend!

Christine was amazing! After another sitter fell through at the last minute, she stepped in on very short notice and completely saved us. She stayed at our home with our pup and two cats for a week while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent daily updates and the cutest photos (her photos were SO good and her captions always made us laugh!). We came home to a spotless house (even better than we left it) and three very happy pets. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again!
