Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets as if they are my own. I also understand pets who need space or time to develop trust. I'm especially good with problem animals, large animals, and those who need extra care—like senior pets or those with health issues. For those guys who need a good run, I love to exercise outdoors.

Information Christa W. would like to know about your pet

I'm open to all pets, breeds, and dispositions. Please let me know if any of your animals have special needs or behavioral issues. I am happy to accomodate.

A typical day

I will stick as close to your pet's routine as possible, and then add in new fun if they are up for it. In my experience, exercise is #1 for dogs' happiness and wellbeing, so I am committed to walks, runs, and play as per your pets' needs. As for cats, I will go by your pets' needs. Some like lots of affection, grooming, and interaction, while others are more independent. I will get to know them and they will tell me what they prefer :) Senior pets will get lots of love and attention and help getting around, if needed.

Widely-experienced animal caretaker

Pet care experience

I've worked with big cats, primates, reptiles, and just about anything you can imagine when I used to work as Lead Caretaker at an animal sanctuary in Citrus County, FL. I was in charge of feeding, cleaning, enhancement, and food inventory. I then spent many years in Panama, where I volunteered for "Amigos de los Animales," a charity organization that holds a monthly spay and neuter clinic. There, I supported veterinarians and helped monitor and revive dogs and cats after their procedures. I have always had dogs, cats, and birds in my life—all rescues. I have helped my furry kids through epilepsy, congestive heart failure, eye issues, crippling arthritis, behavioral problems, end-of-life care, and cancer. They are all over the rainbow bridge now and I miss them deeply. Medicating, wound care, and grooming are second nature to me. Since, I've relocated back to Florida and have begun housesitting and petsitting. I have my own freelance digital marketing business, so I can work from anywhere and my schedule is very flexible. I am a very neat and clean person who will be available 24/7 for your pet/s.
