Safety, trust & environment

I’m unable to host pets at my home, but I’m happy to travel to yours to provide loving care for your furry family. We can work something out :) I walk dogs that weigh more than 40 lbs if they are trained and/or use a no-pull harness. Let me know if you have any questions :)

Information Cristina M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special instructions for your fur baby so I can provide the best quality care. I’m very good at following instructions and will be more than happy to ask questions just to ensure I got everything down.

A typical day

When I watch pets, I enjoy keeping them happy with activities like going on walks, engaging in interactive games, providing treat puzzles, and offering lots of cuddles. I also ensure they stay mentally stimulated by Googling ideas. I tried placing pieces of treats in sniff pads and the dogs I’ve sat go crazy for it! I will also send photos and videos to let you know how your pets are doing :)

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.
