Pet care experience

Must love dogs

If requesting for dog walking services I can provide leash training and basic obediance if requested. I am comfortable with specific schedules and administrating medication. Hello my name is Christa, we are a military family. I was in the Navy for 7 years and my husband is currently stationed in Indian head. In the past we have owned a dachshund and a westie, so they hold a special place in our hearts, but we love all dogs. In our house your dog will be one of the family. We will give them all the love and snuggles! Must be good with children. I have a 1yo and 4yo. They are very gentle with animals but will still get in their face and want to pet them. We only watch one dog at a time. I am a stay at home mom so your pet will get lots of attention and frequent potty breaks. We also like to go on walks when the weather is not too hot. I usually bring a wagon, incase anyone gets tired. My husband is a couch potato. All dogs love him and are usually snuggling up on the couch with him in the evenings.

We like to go for many walks around our neighborhood. Our neighborhood is quiet and has many walking trails nearby. We do not go out if the weather is too hot.

I had a great experience with Christa. Her and family were very attentive to my pet’s needs. She kept me up to date with messages and pictures. My pet at times is a nervous gal, but she had a fantastic time during her stay.

Christa and her family were wonderful with Kiwi and truly made her feel right at home. We had no worries about Kiwi’s well-being because we knew she was in excellent care. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Christa and her family did an amazing job looking after Abel. We received a proper amount of photos and updates while we were on vacation, and Abel always looked happy in the photos. I would definitely book with Christa again!

Christa was excellent; provided Jango a comfortable experience. He appeared very happy. She is very easy to work with and communicate with. I highly recommend her and will use her in the future.

Christa and her family are great with willow, they send updates and photos and it was a relief to not worry about Willow while we were away on a extended trip over a holiday and she came home very happy and tired!

Our beloved dog passed away, so your dog will more than likely be the only dog in our home. We look forward to caring for your loved one as we would care for a family member.
