I am a Nanny during the week, but have a somewhat flexible schedule. I generally can work the pet sitting routine into my work schedule so they are always well cared for and get plenty of attention. For boarding, my husband is home during the day and can take great care of your pets too. I am available to drop in or walk early mornings, evenings and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday’s.

Safety, trust & environment

Pet sitting in your home - I basically “move in” for the time you are away. I follow your routine and house rules and spend most of my time in your home making sure your pets needs are met. This is especially good if there are separation anxiety issues. Boarding - I provide all loving care in my home making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and happy. Drop in- I will stop at your home and let dogs out, feed & water, play, etc. for no less than 20 minutes. I can also care for cats if you have them. Walks- I will come by, whether you are home or away, and take the dog(s) for a walk. I can feed and water too.

Please let me know if your dog is aggressive, has any other behavior issues, has allergies, or requires a special diet or any other special needs.

Grrr8, reliable pet caregiver!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have also had a small private pet/house sitting business for the past 12 years. I have a lot of experience feeding pets with strict/special diets using oils, powders, crushed up supplements etc. and administering medicine including insulin injections. I’ve cared for dogs with disabilities and senior pets and puppies too. I love playing, walking, and just hanging out with them and giving lots of cuddles.

Chris was great! I highly recommend her to watch your pets. She came over twice before we actually left, first for a meet & greet, and then as the date got closer she came by again to go over routines/directions. I really appreciated that second visit, closer to our vacation, to put my mind at ease. Chris was great with my dogs, and one of them has a lot of energy and some interesting quirks, but all went very well. I received daily communication and pictures. She followed the routines very well and reached out with any questions. She left the house was tidy, as well. I will be using Chris again and HIGHLY recommend her services.

Christine has been a favorite Rover representative for us. We are a repeat customer of hers and will continue to call upon her care whenever able. Her sincere concern and care of our shar pei, Tricksy, has been of great relief to us. Christine’s communication is consistent and informative. We feel confident in leaving our unique 10-year puppy with her every time and can recommend her (with enthusiasm) to others.
