We'd love to meet your fur baby!

Pet care experience

I have been dog sitting since I was in my early twenties. I have done everything from quick walks to month long stays. I am comfortable managing special diets, helping special needs (elderly) cats and dogs and giving medications (including injectables).

Our dogs love staying with Christa & Brian. Christa and Brian go above and beyond and treat our 2 dogs like family. We get piece of mind knowing the pups are safe and happy, as well as lots of great updates and pics of their adventures.

New location same great sitter our boy was as excited to see them at drop off as he was to see me at pickup. Wonderful to know he gets all the love and attention he wants and now they are on the river in a nice safe community away from traffic. Plenty of updates and photos while we were away.

Christa was great with our dog! She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative throughout the entire process!

Information Christa L. would like to know about your pet

We're happy to lay low at home or explore our neighborhood with your pooch. Help us get to know your pup: How do they do on a leash? Do they like to meet other people/ dogs on our walks? Do they like car rides? Do they prefer we steer clear of kids on our walks? How often does you dog need to pee? What time do they usually have breakfast/ dinner Dog treats OK? Human food treats OK? (ie chicken or turkey) We want your animal's routine to be as normal as possible, so let us know how we can make them most comfortable!

A typical day

I'm an early riser so first thing's first- potty & coffee! Depending on your dog's energy level we jump straight into a walk or ease into the day. If I have to work, I don't leave the house until mid morning and I'm home mid afternoon (gone generally 2-4 hours). My husband is usually home all day. Laurelhurst is a great place to go for walks on our quiet tree-lined streets. We'll likely encounter lots of furry friends. And if your dog is OK being off-leash, the dog park is a super fun place to sniff and play.
