Old Richmond Pet Care

Pet care experience

My name is Christa and I currently live in the Fishtown/Old Richmond neighborhood of Philly coming from 2 years in Somers Point, NJ. I've grown up loving and living with dogs and now have a very friendly dog of my own, Layla. Layla gets along great with dogs and cats of all sizes. Her best friends are my family’s 2 pugs (2 years and 13 years old) I have also dedicated extra time to animals by working in animal shelters as a dog walker/photographer. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I live within several blocks of a dog park. I also have a cat, Dragon, who is very very friendly and gets along great with any other animals. I can offer my services throughout Philadelphia and parts of Southern Jersey. I have a car and a bike so nowhere is inaccessible! Let me know how I can help with your petcare needs! I work freelance in Film and TV production so my schedule varies depending on the job. I’m not always available for consistent work but In my down time between jobs I love to spend my time Rover sitting and dog walking! I care for your pets as I do my own! Lots of attention and lots of love! Plenty of play time for the dogs, we have more toys than I can count. Treats when everyone is behaving. And snuggles when we need a break!

Christa did an amazing job walking our two older large pups and a young foster rambunctious pup. Will definitely be recommending her services and will reach out again for all dog walking needs. Thank you!

Christa is wonderful! I’m glad my little Theo was in good hands. She was very communicative, reliable, and flexible when we had minor changes in the plans. Theo had so much fun with Christa and her pups, we both look forward to booking with her again!
