Obsessed with dogs!

Pet care experience

UPDATE AS OF APRIL 2022: Because I have started a small, home-based business, I am now only able to provide overnight, drop in and dog walking pet setting services in your home. I have mace, a taser and other tools to protect your dog and I during our neighborhood walks. I have had animals in my home all my life and I just can’t imagine having it any other way. In fact, I love my dog so much that I just left my high-stress corporate job so that I can spend every day with her. She just turned one and loves to play. Does your dog want to come over and play with us? I have a fenced in back yard and a kiddie pool for water fun. Located in South Tampa.

She's nice and communicative. However, when my dogs stayed there she had way too many dogs staying with her including an un-neutered adult male that was aggressive. I see she no longer takes un-neutered males. Recommend checking to see how many dogs are booked since her house is small and was chaos when my dogs stayed.

Christa was so kind and communicative. She had many dogs staying at her house over the Christmas holiday, so my dog had a blast. You can tell that Christa is a dog lover and treats them like family. Would highly recommend!

Christa is absolutely amazing. She was so great with my dogs. They were definitely on vacation at Christa's house. They played all day in her super big dog friendly backyard. They slept on the couch and bed. They were spoiled rotten. I got plenty of updates each day which made me so happy. She even gave them a bath before pick up because they were having so much fun they got a little dirty. Thanks Christa. We will definitely use Christa again. She is a true dog person.

Information Christa V. would like to know about your pet

I prefer non-aggressive dogs only. This is not a breed-specific request but rather a request for only dogs who are not aggressive, regardless of their breed.

A typical day

We will play in the kiddie pool and play with lots of toys and balls in the back yard. In addition we will go on walks in the neighborhood, weather permitting. If okay with you, we may even go to the park!

They say to do what you love and you’ll never work another day in your life. I subscribe to this philosophy so I have decided I want to surround myself with dogs as my job. I have no other obligations. And I just bought and moved into a home that I love so my situation couldn’t be any more perfect for this!
