I foster, train and groom dogs.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid with my dad. When I was living in Australia I was a vet apprentice. I have experience with injecting medications, behavioral analysis, vaccinating, giving oral medication, aiding emergency accidents, cesarean section, natural birth, professional grooming, creative grooming, basic command training and level 2 protection training. When I move to Los Angeles I volunteer as a foster for dogs and cats who’s got special needs and are newborn pups, that consists of bottle feeding or tube feeding every 2-3 hours. Giving injections or oral medication to senior dogs or dogs with special needs regularly. I also practice grooming and creative grooming (consist of dyes). I have experienced with extremely neglected, matted coat, very uncooperative dogs and cats and dogs with sensitive skins.

Christa is the best hands down. Took our German Shepard Kobe to her home for 3 days overnight boarding. She made sure we were updated every single day about Kobe. She was doing a complimentary full grooming when she noticed something is wrong with Kobe. She did an evaluation to see what’s going on, she came to a conclusion that it might be tumor. After we came back from our vacation we picked him up immediately to take him to the vet. Turns out Christa was 100% right. She caught it before it spread and put more damage to our dog. She saved Kobe’s life. A gift basket is not enough to show how much we appreciate her, she really is the best. You will get every single penny you paid for very much worth it.

Christa is very loving towards our two dogs to the point they did not want to get in our car when we come to pick them up. She’s groomed our dogs very well like a pro before we picked them up. She sent pictures and video updates constantly. We will book them again and will tell our friends to come to her for daycar, boarding or even just grooming! Totally worth it every single penny! She is the best.

Christa is really great with animals specially with dogs with disabilities. She wakes up literally every 2 hours to make milk and bottle feed 2-3 dogs everyday for 5 week. She trains dog. She is like a dog whisperer, dogs just know that she’s a good person so they just jump to her immediately. I recommend her because she cares so much with animals, she just loves them you see it on how she treats them. I’m not comfortable leaving my dog with a stranger, but I would definitely leave my dog with her.

Information Christa L. would like to know about your pet

I need to know the feeding schedule, how much to feed, if taking medication what kind and how often, if crate trained or not and how they react to other dogs.

A typical day

We can either do hiking, swimming or play dates it usually depends on the dogs temperament, I have to make sure I cater what the dogs need.

I’m a stay at home mom so I’m just home majority of the time a day. Unless someone bring in their lovely pets to my home I make sure I provide the best exercise for them with hiking or swimming on the beach.
