Full-time dog caretaker

Pet care experience

In my lifetime I have had four dogs, eight cats, and multiple reptiles. Two of my dogs were German Shepherds, a Belgian Malinois/Doberman mix, a Rottweiler. As you might be able to tell, I am an animal lover. I have experience caring for dogs, walking dogs, and even training dogs. No matter what breed, I will make sure they feel right at home. I would be a great canidate to care for your dogs and will be able to give them the attention they need. I am available 24/7 so overnight boarding, dog walking, and house sitting will be a breeze. I am very flexible with my schedule and while I prefer to have no cancellations, I do understand that things come up. I also used to work as a dog trainer for Petsmart so I can help with troublesome dogs. Thank you for considering me.

Christina is loving, gentle, yet firm with pets. She uses positive reinforcement techniques during trading. She loves animals of all kinds and is knowledgeable regarding the personality, health, and behavior of various dog breeds. I know that my animals are loved and are in excellent care with Christina.

I've known Christina for many years and she is responsible, honest, intelligent, creative and caring... plus she LOVES animals! She has watched my cat while I've traveled, so I can attest that she is an awesome pet sitter! Mary C.

Christina loves all animals, and her attention to dogs is exceptional. She gets really enthusiastic every time an opportunity arises to dogsit and dog walk. It's amazing how she has always found time to care for and love our dogs. She also is educated as a dog trainer, so she shows about dog behavior, too!

Information Christina B. would like to know about your pet

My husky is epileptic. She takes two different medications for her condition. She is four years old now and was diagnosed when she was a year and a half. Since then, she has only had two seizures. Her condition is very well controlled.

A typical day

I love to train dogs. While caring for your dog, you will come home to a new trick your dog knows! I also love general playing such as playing tug and tag.

I am currently looking to get back into caring for pets. My husky is great with other dogs and would love to spend time with your babies and share all her toys!
