Safety, trust & environment

I'm familiar with clicker training and crate training. I've used both methods to train my dog ever since she was 8 weeks old. I can stick to a training schedule according to your pets' needs as well as playing fetch or just giving them infinite belly rubs.

Information Christella G. would like to know about your pet

I am most familiar with large and giant breed dogs as I own a Great Dane myself, but I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages. I will keep a clear communication with you regarding caring for your dog and any and all incidents that we encompass throughout my visit.

A typical day

I typically take dogs on walking trails where there are no or very little cars under minimal speed limit. I understand not all dogs are dog friendly, therefore I do not typically take dogs I care for to dog parks unless the park is empty. This is for the safety of both your dog, other dogs, and myself.

Pet care experience

Aside from having taken care of my own dogs (Daisy & Nori) and cat (Goliath) for the last 5 1/2 years, I've also been fostering many cats from Lifeline Animal Center as well as pet-sitting for families that I've had to also babysit for. Goliath actually came into my life via fostering :) Furthermore, I have helped train my dog to prepare for conformation dog shows, which involves desensitization training to various noises, smells, sights, and people and animals alike.

Christella was taking care of my dog while I was away. She was very caring, attentive and responsible. She updated me every visit and sent cute pics of my dog. I’m very happy with the service!

She was so kind with blu who is a little anxious and even though blu didn’t go for the whole walk she kept her company for the whole time which was so nice ! Felt really great with Christella taking care of blu

Christella is so sweet and always quick to respond! She was kind enough to bring some packages up for me that I couldn’t have held at the post office, too. Thank you!!
