Full-time dog nanny

Pet care experience

Hello animal lovers! Words can't describe the love and passion I have for our furry friends. They are family as they provide so much love and really make a house a home. I am a part-time crisis line worker (work from my couch) home full-time, giving me the freedom to provide copious amounts of love, attention, and walks throughout the day. Currently, I only have one very friendly, playful female dog who loves everyone. I rescued Chloe from the Austin animal shelter (I'm originally from Austin) and she is my world. In my lifetime I have had five dogs, four rabbits, a gerbil, a cat, and a duck. I would genuinely love to open my home up to your furbabies to spoil and love on them as well as give them plenty of exercise.

Had a great experience boarding our sweet Ivory Jade with Christa. She was quick to respond when I needed to board my dog last minute and I felt like she was in good hands. I loved seeing all of the picture updates and it really seemed like Ivory was enjoying herself! Will definitely be rebooking with her soon!

Stella did great her first time with Christa! We are new to Texas so it was great to find someone we could trust.

Christa was very sweet with my boy, Tito! She sent me lots of updates throughout his stay, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!

Christa did a wonderful job of taking care of Tigger my kitty! She sent me a text and picture each time she visited, so I never had to worry that she was actually there. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

A typical day

I love to walk my furry friends around the neighborhood and the trails that are nearby. Of course, fetch is a must as well. We also have plenty of squeaky toys inside to play around with and a fenced-in yard.
