Jimena stayed and took care of my senior dog while I was away at a conference. She did an amazing job, senior dogs are not easy to take care of, plus I live in a condo so he has to be walked several times a day. I cannot recommend her enough.

Avery was great, they handled Sam, which can be a handful sometimes with a lot of patience and care. They sent constant updates which really helped me feel at ease while having a night out.

About: Hi, My most recent experience has been long term care for friends and families dogs. I offer to walk dogs multiple times a day, as well as check in multiple times a day. I also offer personalized behavioral training a recommendations. I have particular experience with behavioral issues like separation anxiety and difficulties walking on a leash and getting overwhelmed with various stimuli. Previously, I fostered large dogs with behavioral issues for the SPCA for 5 years. I have experience with dogs that are reactive, anxiety ridden and once with medical issues. I fostered the dogs until the issues are either managed or resolved and they are ready for adoption. I have experience primarily with large dogs. I am used to long walks and hikes with dogs. I primarily keeps dogs on leash but in the right circumstances I will let them off leash. However, I am very picky. I am open to walking l, check-ins and boarding. I’m in class a few times a month and working 1-2 days a week so I have times of availability to care for your pup. Thank you for considering me, Celine I’m a graduate student with minimal in class time so I have plenty of time to play and cuddle your pup. I love long walks and play time. I enjoy finding engaging activities that keep them mentally stimulated. I would like to get a sense of your pup and aspects of their care that are most important to you. This could be frequency of walking, caring for behavioral issues or simply giving them lots of cuddles. I can be in your hole where your pup is most comfortable or bring them to mine.

We were very skeptical about using the app and having someone stay at our house. Our dogs don’t do well at kennels and we tried Rover. Upon our first meeting with Christina, we felt very comfortable with her. She was so good meeting our pups that they fell in love with her immediately. She sent us photos of them daily and took them on multiple walks. We now know we can go on a vacation and hire Christina again. When we got home, the pups looked disappointed it was us getting home and not Christina. She is a true gem and we will be using her services again as well as sharing our experiences with others about Rover and Christina. Thank you again Christina!

About: I am a huge animal lover; I’ve had pets my whole life and know how much a routine matters to them, especially during a stressful time apart from their family. I’ve cared for a diabetic dog, giving insulin shots three times a day for years, and also babysat a diabetic cat — so I’m comfortable with medication schedules and special-needs care. I’m an active person who treats every fur baby like they are my best friend because that’s what they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and work from home Mondays and Fridays, so those days are perfect for midday walks or potty breaks — I can easily fit your pup into my schedule without rushing. On weekends, I’m open to house sitting or home visits, giving your pet consistent, attentive care while you’re away. I don’t board pets at my own home, so all care happens at your house, keeping your pet in their familiar, comfortable environment. During home visits or house sits, I follow your routines closely for feeding, walks, and medication, and I’m experienced with special and elder pet needs. I treat your home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

Joseph did a great job with taking care of Bosco and the house. He was very responsive when I reached out to see how things were going; and he notified me when he thought I might have a concern about Bosco. He took great care of the condo and left it very neat. Great job!

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and other pets my whole life, trained my own dog myself, and provide flexible, attentive, loving care for animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time as a lifeguard at a local pool, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and care for pets throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their normal routines, giving them attention, exercise, clean spaces, and constant supervision when needed.

About: With experience in both cat and dog sitting, I’ve cared for pets of family, friends, and neighbors, providing attentive and reliable care. My experience includes overnight stays and routine check-ins, ensuring pets receive the attention and comfort they need while their owners are away. My passion for animals shines through in my dedicated and compassionate approach to pet sitting. Being a college student, I fit pet care into my routine with evening care and playtime, ensuring pets get the attention and care they need. I do not currently have pets in my current home. I care for pets in other ways, such as drop-ins and pet walking. Thank you!

Joseph was awesome! He sent over updates and photos throughout our trip and was quick to communicate back to us when we had any questions. He did overnight and was so respectful of our space (he even pulled the sheets off the bed and threw stuff into the washer, which was so nice). Our dog loved him, and we enjoyed seeing their interactions on our ring camera. We came home to a very happy dog and will absolutely try to grab Joseph to book again for any future trips.

Avery is great! They were very responsive before our trip, during our trip and when it looked like we might not make it home in time. We got tons of photos of Nashville and Avery kept us up-to-date throughout our travels. Best of all and always a good sign, when we got home, the dog looked up and said, “oh you’re home.“

Alia was amazing, she made sure to give me daily updates and pictures. She was even willing to add an additional drop by visit when our return time changed to make sure our dogs and cats were properly cared for while my husband and I were away for a week. The house was all cleaned up and she even went beyond what we asked of her!

Jenna did an absolutely great job petsitting our dog and four cats for two weeks. All the pets were happy and healthy upon our return and the house was well taken care of - even the plants and the birdfeeder in the backyard. She sent us daily reports with photos, which was very reassuring, being far away from home.

Tea is a frequent house sitter for our highly anxious dog. Tea provides outstanding care and maintains consistent communication while we are out of town (and provides pics of our dog). Most importantly, our dog loves and trusts Tea, which is all any pet parent can ask for.
