Safety, trust & environment

I believe every dog and cat deserves respect, love, and attention. I understand that “pet care” entails more than food, water and/or a clean litter box and potty break. Like humans, pets need affection and mental stimulation- playtime! I will respect your home and honor the needs of your pets as well.

Please let me know anything your pet needs or concerns you have. I am more than glad to help and to make everyone feel comfortable.

A typical day

I am detail-oriented, and work diligently to provide quality services. I strive to maintain clear, professional, and friendly communication. I work to respond promptly to messages. Once services are booked, I strive to maintain quality and thorough communication. I am open to feedback and questions.

Pet care experience

Rescuing cats and dogs in need has been a part of my life since 2011. My "niche" has been rescuing senior dogs, and it has been a wonderful and fulfilling experience. It started with a one-eyed black cat named "Wink" who needed a special medication every day, but was otherwise happy and healthy. The next pet that ended up in my arms in need of a home was Dakota in 2016. She was a sweet 10 year old Chihuahua- sassy and anxious! Dakota and Wink lived many happy years with their every need and want met. We went on to rescue Hershey, a sweet 16 year-old Chihuahua mix who finished out his best days with us. We then rescued Tiny and Teddy, two small senior dogs. Tiny was smart and tough. Teddy was a sweet one-eyed Maltese-Poodle Mix. We are currently owned by 2 rescued cats: Peanut and Elf, roughly 3 years young. Peanut is a stubborn but very cute cat. Elf is a sweet, shy cat with and underbite. The cats have been kind enough to welcome our latest addition to the pack: Yogi a Jack Russel mix. At 1 and a half years young at the time of rescue he has been the youngest, most energetic addition. Each pet has their own "quirk", but are filled with love and warmth and it is amazing to give them a loving home when they come from not-so-good circumstances.

Christine was from the start very thorough, detail oriented and very caring. This was our first experience with her and she did not disappoint. Christine is a very kind and thoughtful person and it showed in her daily reports and photos she sent. She cared for our kitties for 10 days and they are not used to being alone for that long. Christine took extra care to be sure they knew she was there to help them without overwhelming them. We felt very comfortable that they were going to be in good hands and we know they were. Thank you Christine! Will definitely be booking with you again.

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.
