The family setting while your away

Hello my name is Christine and I have watched all kinds of animals for the last 20 years and have references if needed. I have done the sitting in my home as well as traveled to take care of pets in the comfort of their homes too. I used to live in Boise before I was medically retired from the Air Force in 2018. I moved back to Utah in 2020, and at the end of that year bought my home in Bountiful. I’ve had a hiatus with hosting on Rover with the move, change in jobs and I’m always traveling. When my dogs aren’t with me, they're with my parents, a Rover date, or I’m utilizing TrustedHousesitter and having someone in trade stay at my house. The yard is fully fenced. I understand that boarding the dog can become expensive, I have fur kids of my own and I foster. I offer dog sitting to help others that want a dependable sitter for quick trips without spending a lot of money. I'm flexible on times, instances, and arrangements.

This was our first time using Rover, and Christine exceeded our expectations! Upon meeting her, we immediately knew she was the right person for our dogs. She was incredibly thorough, sent updates with pictures, and most importantly, our dogs loved her! We will definitely use her in the future!

Christine did an excellent job staying at our home with our dog! She kept us informed during our vacation away, and we came home to a happy pup!

SO glad we found her!! She was a God send when we went out of town for a few weeks. Tended to our cat, hamster and guinea pig going above and beyond to make sure they were okay. Will hire again and again!

Christine was amazing! She visited our place daily to take great care of our young kitten while we were away. She clearly did a wonderful job and kept us updated, even ensuring our house stayed nice and tidy while we were away. We truly appreciated Christine keeping our kitten happy and our minds at ease while travelling. Thank you Christine!

Christine has been such a blessing to our family when we are out of town. We couldn’t ask for anyone better to be taking care of our pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard. I can always crate them if wanted too, I have a few different sizes stored in the back garage too. They are allowed on the beds and furniture. In your home I’ll take care of your pets as you ask me to, I can grab the mail, move around trash/recycle receptacles or water the plants too.

Pets

A typical day

We will play ball or toys inside/outside, we will go on walks around the neighborhood, and/or even go over to the local dog park if that is okay with the parents. I also believe that some time for enrichment is important.

Any information you can relay of your pet will be beneficial for me. If they are good with kids (I have a 10 year old). Is there any type of reactivity? Food, treats, toys? Allergies? Also, things your dogs love too.
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.
