Pet care experience
Hello everyone! I have been on Rover for a few years now and have experienced alot so far but I am sure that I will still get a surprise here and there! I try to take all surprises with grace and just learn from them! We have: bones, hard yak cheese sticks, frisbee, balls, soft stuffy toys, rope toys, bubble machine, dog pool and pounce sprinkler, lick mats, sniff mats, puzzle toys, we do some arts and crafts, homemade frozen enrichment bowls, if you request a bath for your dog I have multiple deshedding tools. Blankets, crates, extra bowls and diapers if needed. I am investing a lot into my doggy business. I recently made a small indoor gated area that has mats layed down for optimal comfort during indoor play and sleeping. I am in the process of creating an additional fenced in area in my yard that will feature a sand pit for those that love to dig, turf grass to contain the mud and a climbing feature for king of the hill! I can give your dog the patience it may need for basic training along with draining out some of the coopt up energy so they can listen better! Training in wee hours doesnt bother me at all and can even be fun. I have kids that are not rough or overly involved with animals and that also know some basic training. Any medication or special request can also be discussed and accommodated. Any questions just feel free to ask. Thanks for reading and considering me for your fur baby.
Reviews
Christine took great care of my puppy!
Christine took great care of Maggie and I’d highly recommend her!
Christine was our first Rover experience. She made it easy in guiding us in what is needed for Ares' first overnight stay. I did not have my schedule fully ironed out and Christine was flexible in accommodating us. Christine provided photos and videos throughout Ares' stay with her.
Christine was our first experience using a dog sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with it! She was kind and accommodating. We will certainly use her again if she’s available!!!!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a decent sized fenced backyard for being in the city. We love to play fetch and run perimeter. Inside we like to use our indoor manners. Typically all of the dogs sleep together with blankets and cushions that I provide in a space that is about 10x10. I do have crates to utilize if it is the pet parents preference or if we have concerns with potty or chewing issues (I may utilize a doggy diaper when in doors if your dog marks inside) . Some dogs do get to sleep in a separate space from other dogs or in a room with one of my kids if that is where they feel the most comfortable and behave the best.

Information Christine S. would like to know about your pet
I typically have a few dogs at a time, so it is a must that your dog has not been known to be aggressive towards other dogs or people for that matter. I need to know about any food allergies, shampoo allergies along with any possible medical conditions including if they are neutered/spayed. I would like to know if your dog is able to eat any table food for treats. Does your dog chew blankets, stuffing, anything they shouldn't? What does your dog like to do for fun? Is your dog allowed to play in the doggie pool?
A typical day
Some days are more exciting than others but a typical day is typically laid out like this: 7-8am morning wake up and bathroom break, breakfast and clean up of sleeping area followed by immediate potty break and yard play, indoor time which may including some training with treats, toys and chews. Potty breaks and more yard exercise followed by indoor relaxation and naps. More outdoor perimeter runs and play time, dinner, outdoor potty break. Indoor relaxation time. Last outdoor play and potty break. Treats and then bedtime 8p.

I currently work from home so am pretty flexible when it comes to accommodating what works best for my pet parents! My mom is also very helpful in the chance that I do leave home, she resides with me!
