I’m currently a PhD student working at the Hubrecht Institute. My big dog recently passed away and would love to take care of other dogs. I have plenty of time in the weekends as well as evenings!

Information Christa J. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know if the dog is reactive to other dogs or particularly breeds or other animals. Also if they are on any medication or have other have any particular issues.

A typical day

I know how important mental stimulation is for dogs so I love to take them to different places and doing different activities depending on how much energy the dog has.

Christa took excellent care of our dog while we were away on a trip. Another reviewer mentioned flexibility and easy with handover and everything, I can only echo this!

Christa is a great dog sitter who truly speaks and understands the language of dogs. She immediately connected with Finn, and he listened to her right away. It gives us great peace of mind knowing she has experience with large, reactive dogs, that makes all the difference for us.
