Highlights
Pet care experience
A second home for your babies!
Hi there! I’m a caring and reliable dog sitter who truly enjoys getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, including those who are shy or anxious, and I always take a calm, patient approach so they can feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. With anxious dogs especially, I focus on creating a gentle, low-pressure environment by slow introductions, calm energy, and routines that help build trust over time. I pay close attention to body language and adjust to whatever each dog needs in the moment, whether that’s space, reassurance, or a quiet walk. I also make sure to follow all care instructions closely and keep you updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. My goal is to be someone you and your dog feel completely comfortable with, like a trusted friend who shows up and cares every time. All dogs need to be current on their vaccinations (including bordatella) and flea/tick preventative. Please provide a screenshot of their most recent shots through the Rover app. I currently do NOT take more than 1 pup at a time unless the client requesting themselves has 2 pups that need taking care of! PLEASE NOTE: If you plan on booking for extended stay, our price is $40 a night for 5 days.

Ratings and reviews
Christina did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She was so caring, attentive, and communicative throughout the entire stay. I really appreciated the multiple pictures and updates she sent, which gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and well taken care of. My dog was very comfortable with Christina, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about his well-being. I would definitely recommend Christina to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and dependable to care for their pet! ❤️🐾
Christina and John were so sweet and attentive to Lady. They kept regular updates and sent some adorable pictures to us throughout her stay. They also sent us home with a very sweet and personal card and some extra treats for Lady. We definitely recommend them! Our pup was so excited to stay with them and we will definitely be visiting again! 🐾🐶🐕
The best sitters!! They spoiled and took such good care of our pup. They are super flexible and have amazing communication!
Maria took care of my labrador dog over the weekend and was very communicative the entire time by sending me updates and pictures of my dog having the best time! Maria also kindly gifted my dog the toy that he played with the most at her house :) we’d definitely book again!

Schedule
I'm currently not employed so your pet will be attended to at all day! Any accommodation you need for them, I can surely provide at any time.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and currently no other pets in the house, meaning your pet will have 100% of our time and attention so they don't feel out of place!
A typical day
I love to take dogs out for walks! And if there's a rainy day, I make sure to play with them inside the house to burn their energy so they get ready for a cozy nap time indoors!
