I like dogs more than people.

Pet care experience

I am a reliable worker and have experience working with dogs of all breeds. I have worked at a dog kennel and have recently been fostering dogs for guiding eyes for the blind. I volunteer at the local animal shelter and am experienced walking all sorts of dogs. I have been a dog sitter for multiple homes for four years now and would like my network to grow. I enjoy all breeds, no matter what size or reputation they may have. I have two dogs myself that I love taking to the local restaurants and coffee shops. Please reach out if you have any further questions!

Christa was so sweet with our dogs! House was left neat and tidy. She was very responsive and sent pictures letting us know how everyone was doing. Would highly recommend her services and look forward to booking with her again!

Christa has been our dog sitter on a regular basis. She is fantastic with multiple dogs, and is highly recommend. We never had any worry about the dogs or our house when she was watching them. Very easy to get along and work with! We would ask her with little notice sometimes, and she always made her schedule work for us! If you are looking for someone you can trust and your pets will love, look no further. You will love her!

Christa has been a dog sitter for us for several years and we have always been thoroughly satisfied with her professionalism, care and obvious love for our pets. Whether we needed her for the day to just come over and feed and let our dogs out or for her to live in for several weeks while we were on vacation, she always made herself available and was 100% dependable. We have two large, and at times unruly, dogs who tend to intimidate many people, yet Christa was very comfortable with them and quickly made friends with them. Along with the pets, the house was always well cared for and in perfect condition when we returned. She would often send cute pics of the dogs showing us how they were doing. Although, the greatest testimony would be how well adjusted our pets were upon our return. There was a lack of anxiety which comes from being with someone who they trusted because they understood that she cared for them-like family.

Christa is an excellent dog caregiver! She has watched my 4 dogs numerous times and they all love her very much. She is extremely reliable, conscientious and responsible and gives them a lot of love when she's with them. It relieves my guilt for leaving them, knowing they're enjoying their time with her. She is often available on short notice and can stay with them longer if the need arises. I am always at ease leaving my dogs with her in charge and I feel my dogs are receiving excellent care when she's with them. She even gives medications to 3 of my dogs at the appropriate times. I have nothing but good things to say about Christa and her dog care capabilities!

Safety, trust & environment

I rent and can only do house visits. I cannot host a dog at my home since my dog does not get along with other dogs. When I dogsit at a client's home I am neat and make sure the dog is well taken care of. Whether that means adjusting my routine to match theirs, or giving them treats, I enjoy working with dogs.

Information Christa L. would like to know about your pet

I love all dog breeds and can cater to any specific breed. Whether that is reading on the couch with a lazy dog, or walking outside with a high energy one, I will adapt to match your dog's needs. I need to know whether the dog has any fears and how they interact with people. Though I am not fearful of dogs I understand some dogs take warming up and I would not want to jeopardize anyone's safety by being misinformed.

A typical day

Depending on the dog, I would take it on car rides, to the local coffee shops and parks, and walk it wherever it prefers. I can also take it to a dog park to exert some energy. Most importantly, I would take it wherever you would like. I aim to ensure that both your dog's mind and yours are at ease while you are away!
