Information Christa H. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences. Would be helpful to know how your dog gets along with other dogs, particularly small dogs, and cats if he/she will be spending time at my house.

A typical day

I love to take my canine charges on hikes and for frolics in the park. We'll go on your dog's favorite route or discover a new one!

Pet care experience

I have had cats and dogs and mice and fish my whole life, and have been many people's go-to consultant for care and advice, and for taking care of their pets when they're out of town. I am one of those people that folks say have "a way with animals". Always have, even when I was a toddler. I can administer medications and injections, help with puppy training, and bring your shy pet out of his or her shell. I rescued my own kitties when they were only a week old and syringe and bottle-fed them and reared them up to be sturdy upright feline citizens of the world. I'm good with the "difficult" cases, and a gentle loving companion to the seniors. I do this because I adore and feel a bond with all animals and creatures of all kinds. :)

Christa is wonderful with animals. She considers her own pets members of her family, and goes to great lengths to ensure their health and happiness. She will extend this same level of care to your own pets as well!

Christa is exceptional with animals. A lifelong animal lover, she connects easily with dogs and cats alike. She is highly skilled at communicating with and understanding their unique temperaments and personalities. She is also professional and trustworthy. Any pet is lucky to be in her care.
