Pet care experience

Loving care when you can’t be there

I’m an experienced pet sitter I’ve now been doing this for 3 years. I not only sit dogs but I can do any other animals as well. I’ve sat cats, chickens, horses, and goats. On top of that I grew up with a family dog, potbelly pig, cockatoo, rabbit, and potbelly pig. To say I’m an animal lover is an understatement! I work from home so I can almost help with anything but I do have a cat of my own now. I will be very attentive, loving and affectionate with your pet. I am very active and love to go on walks/hikes. I’m very clean, send lots of pictures, and over communicate!

Safety, trust & environment

I will work with you on specific training and proper care instructions that are tailored to your pets needs. I’m also in a very quiet environment with no other pets. While I’m with your pet, unless directed otherwise, I will stray from other people and their pets to create a safe environment! I’ll always get to know you and your pet beforehand if that’s something you’d like. I also make sure to interact with the animal in appropriate ways so it develops a trust and feels safe around me!

Christine did a fantastic job taking care of my animals and home! She was responsive and listened carefully to instructions from the beginning to the end of the booking process. My dogs were happy and relaxed when I arrived home and everything looked just as I’d left it. I will definitely ask her to house and pet sit in the future.

Christine is amazing! She spent a week house sitting and caring for our blind dog. She is great at communication. Our girl was happy when we returned. She managed her medications and ensured our girl's safety. The house looked just like it did when we left. We can't thank you enough Christine.

Christine was wonderful! We had never left our boxer mix for more than a few days before, and Christine not only coaxed her out of her initial nervousness while we were gone, but took her on awesome walks and gave her the royal treatment. Christine also sent pictures often and put our minds at ease.

Schedule

Currently I’m working from home so I have ample-flexible time during the day. I’m living in a 2 bedroom townhouse in Arlington. As long as I have Wi-Fi I can go anywhere though, I just bring my laptop with! That leaves lots of times for walks, potty breaks, and play time. It’s mutually beneficial for both parties as I love the company too!

0 to 15 lbs

Christine can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
What special needs they have, if any. Also, what care instructions you would like me to have and do. Allergies, do’s and don’t’s, feed times, how often to take out/potty breaks, all the goods!
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.
