Fun loving former vet tech

Pet care experience

I was a vet tech for 12 yrs both at NC State Vet School small animal emergency hospital and in private vet practices. I have since transitioned into the human medical side for work. I have worked and cared for many types of pets in a variety of animal hospitals. This includes; exotics, small and large animal emergency, food/farm animal and marine pets. I am pet CPR trained and can handle all emergency pet needs. I am trained and capable of administering any type of medications or fluid therapy if needed. I have owned many different species of pets my whole life. I have been house/petting sitting part time for ~15 years now and just love it. I love being outside and going for walks with dogs and absolutely adore cats and will smother them with lots of attention if that is what they like. I am an animal lover through and through. Thanks for looking at my profile and don't hesitate to message me with any question. Let's set up a meet and greet :)

Christena is wonderful and my dogs love her so I feel super comfortable leaving them with her. Especially with my high maintenance, fearful one. She administers meds, walks them (which my 2 together are a handful on walks) and even washes her bedding/towels! Highly recommend her.

We felt great leaving our kittens with Christena while we were out of town. She took amazing care of them and sent daily updates which was really reassuring.

Christena is AWESOME!!! She keeps me updated with pictures, responds quickly to questions or requests but mostly it’s because Kai loves her. She is so kind and caring. Live her!!!

Information Christena T. would like to know about your pet

Health concerns, anxiety triggers, and if they play well with others.

A typical day

I love to run and be outside. If your dog is a runner, we are a match. If they are just walkers, not a problem I love hikes around the lake or neighborhood. I have a big back yard so plenty of space to place catch if they are into that.
