Pet care experience
Olde Richmond Pet Care
My name is Christa and I currently live in the Fishtown/Old Richmond neighborhood of Philly. 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 is my family’s pug (5 years), Ziti. 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, sizes, and needs. 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 love cats just as much as dogs and have now helped with drop ins and boarding for well over 20 cats. 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 taking care of all pets through Rover! 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!

Ratings and reviews
Christa is the best! My dog Rico loves her, she is always super communicative and is great with pictures and recaps. I’d definitely recommend her!
Absolutely amazing!! This was a last minute walk and she was so phenomenal with our !! 10/10 definitely recommend.
Christa was phenomenal! Communicated and set expectations right away about realistic time windows to come see our cat Wolf, which I really appreciated. She is kind, warm, and responsible, and above all, gave a lot of love and care to Wolf. She took many great photos of him, which I really need because I miss him when I'm out of town! She was even nice enough to feed the feral cats that make visits in our backyard. Would definitely have her back and highly recommend!!
Christa took incredible care of our cat while we were on vacation. We so appreciated her detailed updates and will definitely book again!!
We had a wonderful experience with Christa. She was incredibly attentive and made communication effortless. She took excellent care of our cats and clearly paid close attention to their routines and comfort. We especially appreciated the detailed updates, thorough reports, and the photos that kept us reassured while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again.
Christa has taken care of our 3 cats on multiple occasions. I cannot say enough good things about that care that Christa has provided. She provides detailed updates and photos from each visit, and it's clear that she knows exactly what she is doing and genuinely cares for our pets. She is an excellent communicator, and I trust her whole heartedly. I give Christa an outstanding recommendation!

I now have a small fenced in yard for the pups to play. I care for your pets like I do my own and my own pets help in providing a buddy for yours!

A typical day
I would bring your dog or dogs on walks to the several parks and dog parks in Nearby area with or without my dog! There are several cafes that give the dogs a special treat that we love to visit. We have an overload of dog and cat toys (string, balls, rope, squeaky), something for every one.
