Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Every morning, I start by feeding my pets and ensuring they have fresh water. Throughout the day, I make time for play and exercise, such as walks or interactive play sessions. I also dedicate time to grooming, whether it's brushing their fur or cleaning their living area. Additionally, I schedule regular vet visits and ensure their vaccinations and health check-ups are up to date. Pet care is a priority for me, and I make sure to provide them with the love, attention, and care they need.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I make sure the space is pet-proof, follow all care instructions closely, and provide a calm, loving environment. I respect each pet’s routine, offer plenty of attention and play, and keep owners updated to ensure peace of mind while they’re away.

Information Christine M. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care possible, there are a few key things I like to know ahead of time: 1. Medical History – Any health conditions, allergies, or medications the dog needs. 2. Temperament – Their personality, energy level, fears, and how they typically behave. 3. Feeding Routine – Diet details, meal schedule, and any restrictions. 4. Exercise Needs – How much activity they’re used to and what they enjoy. 5. Commands & Cues – Any words or routines they’re familiar with for smoother communication. 6. Social Preferences – How they interact with other dogs or pets. 7. Emergency Info – Contact details for you and your vet in case of any issues. Having this information up front helps me tailor care to each dog’s needs and ensure a safe, calm, and happy stay.

A typical day

A typical day in my care includes a mix of walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection. Mornings start with breakfast and outdoor time, followed by a walk—either around the neighborhood or at a nearby dog-friendly park or trail. I tailor activities to each dog’s energy level, personality, and the owner’s instructions. We might play fetch, tug-of-war, or explore new environments to keep things interesting. I also make sure there’s plenty of time for rest, with cozy spots for relaxation and fresh water always available. My goal is to make each day safe, fun, and enriching—so your dog feels happy, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

Loving, Reliable Care for Your pets

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Christine! I’ve been a pet sitter on Rover for over 3 years and absolutely love caring for animals. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddles, I make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.

Christine has been a great find as a new resident of the Coachella Valley! After a great meet and greet, Christine has been a wonderful communicator and has taken stellar care of my two pups. I'd definitely recommend.

Christine is absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her! She sent updates and photos multiple times a day and my pup seemed happy and relaxed when I came to pick her up. I would absolutely use her again!

Christine fed and walked our 2 dogs for 3 days while we were at the festival! She was on time, caring, and communicated very well throughout the weekend. Would happily have her watch our pups anytime!
