Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover by the park!
I live in Astoria and adore all animals. I have one dog of my own and have fostered others. I also grew up with cats and am skilled in caring for their needs. I am an approved foster with three different rescue organizations, where I have received animal care training. Over the past seven years I have helped many pups acclimate to the big city and find loving homes. I would love to spend time with your animal and give you peace of mind while traveling, your pet will receive lots of love and attention. I take special care to listen to all of your requests and are located right near the park so your dog will get as much exercise and outdoor time as they need. I take special care to follow all of your instructions and am knowledgeable about administering medications if needed. I know first hand how hard it is to leave them and I want you to know they are in good care! You will receive lots of video and photo updates during their stay. If your dog prefers a crate as their safe space, I am happy to accommodate. Other than that, they have free roam of the apartment and are allowed to cuddle up where ever they please.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Christa took great care of our cat while we were out of town for a few days. She was reliable and a great communicator. I really appreciated Christa’s notes after each visit. We will have Christa take care of our cat again next time we travel!

Thank you Christa for being so accommodating! Will definitely be back :)

Christa was great. She took excellent care of my girl and made sure to send updates. Clear communication and a true dog lover. I will book again. :)

Christa will put you completely at ease for the entire duration of the sitting. My wife and I loved getting updates from her when we were away for our wedding, and she even celebrated with us from the house! We can't recommend her enough to anyone who needs a caring and attentive sitter.

The best.

Christa is the best! She was punctual, communicative, and so accommodating. My puppy has some separation anxiety, so I was worried leaving her with someone, but Christa made sure she was occupied and having so much fun that she didn’t even have time to miss me! I will definitely be using Christa again, and recommend her to others.

Pets
A typical day
I can take them to the park if you would like, or just walk and take in the fresh air and smells. I live an active lifestyle so if your pet needs extra exercise I am the perfect sitter for them.
