About: I’m a lifelong pet lover, I grew up around dogs and cats my entire life, and currently have a 14 year old iggy chihuahua mix I adore. I have also fostered reptiles in the past. My mom was a 5 star pet sitter on Rover in my home state while I was growing up, so I am very familiar with the care and responsibilities of caring for your baby! Rover is currently my main gig, so I have a lot of availability to take care of your pets! I am available 7 days a week to care for your pet, whether it be a walk, a drop in, or a few nights stay! :) Please note, all time slots are approximate. My dog and I take frequent walks together through out the day, visit the dog park, and play around, and any guest in our home will be included in these activities! Any drop in visits will get plenty of walks, pets, and playtime. She takes medication twice a day so I am prepared to take care of other dogs with medical needs. All dogs must be up to date on vaccines, flea medication, and heart worm medication. I limit the number of animals I take on so I can give your pet all of the attention they deserve!
“Did an exemplary job looking after our cats — they loved her, they were obviously perfectly taken-care-of, and our apartment may actually have been cleaner than we left it. Having Christa catsit for us is a decision we feel great about and are eager to repeat.”
About: I have grown up my entire life with multiple cats and dogs in my homes always and am a pet lover of all types! I have cared for all sizes, weights, genders, and ages of many pets. I can be of assistance for any and all needs for your pet(s). I love all the fur babies and love to give them all the snuggles, love, and play time they could ever want! I am booked Fridays 11am-6pm, but besides that I am fully available to provide care for your pets any time you would like me to! I truly enjoy the time I get to spend with your pets and strive to always provide the most comfortable and safe environment while you are away. During every visit, I will send updates and photos regularly so you can have peace of mind knowing and seeing your pet is enjoying their time with me! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect as I would for my own. I will provide a clean and welcoming pet friendly environment in my own home with lots of love and attention or can also provide this care in your own home environment for your pet’s comfortability. When in your home, I like to make sure everything is cleaned and reset prior to your arrival home, so that you can just rest and enjoy time with your fur babies that have missed you! I have a large fenced yard in my home, so your pet can potty and play freely in a comfortable, safe and open setting.
