Pet care experience

Snoots & toebeans I love them all

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.

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.

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!!

Christella is absolutely amazing! She took great care of my cat Brownie and brought him an extra toy which he loved. She also sent me a lot of photos and videos to keep me posted.

Christella is a fabulous, thoughtful cat-sitter. My cat isn’t the easiest to get along with, but Christella was patient and thorough while I was out of town for a week.

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.
