Pet care experience
Hi! I live in Seattle and would love to keep your pup happy and entertained when you're busy. My daughter, dog, and I love being outside at the beach and many parks in our neighborhood. In addition to these outings we go for several potty walks each day. I know from experience how difficult it can be finding a reliable sitter. I'm happy opening my home to any dog or going to your home and providing some outdoor time. In my home, Buster has complete access to my apartment and furniture, he can't be described as anything but spoiled. Your pooch will receive the same comforts, feeling at home and loved while you're apart. Why I love dog sitting I began volunteering for Tony La Russa's Animal Rescue Foundation at the age of 14 and have since fostered countless dogs with several other rescue foundations; Grateful Dog Rescue, Wonder Dog Rescue, and Muttville. Fostering has taught me how to create a comfortable transition for any dog into my home, no matter their quirks.
Reviews
Our family took a 2 week vacation and needed a sitter for our 18 month old terrier. She's been with sitters for 1 or 2 days at a time so this was a new experience for her. Christina is very easy to work with and she has a clear affinity for dogs. It was a bonus that Christina has a dog in her home and our dog had an instant friend during her stay. It was comforting to know that our dog was in good hands on our trip. I can happily recommend Christina as a dog sitter.
Everything was fine overall for my dog's stay at Christina's house. However, I would not choose to have her watch Titan again for a few reasons. First off, I had to reach out 3 different times to try and coordinate a pick-up time and since he's been back home he has had a bit of strange behavior (throwing up and refusing his food - which he NEVER does). I even tried to ask if she noticed anything strange or if he had gotten into anything and never got a reply. She did send a few pictures during my trip, which was nice.
Sweet, professional and kind! We will definitely be back!
Christina was wonderful and very accommodating with last minute plans . Charlie and Chloe were quite happy to stay with her and came home tired out after a good day. Would definitely use Christina if I am in the area agsin

Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever you and I decide he/she will be most comfortable. Time I'll spend with your dog Your dog will spend his/her entire time in my presence and playing with Buster. We spend anywhere from 3-6 hours outside each day, weather dependent of course. Our favorite spots are the Longfellow Creek Trail across the street from us, Watercrest Dog Park, Alki Beach, Washington Park Arboretum, and the lovely trails in our surrounding State and National Parks. And when the weather just won't let up, there's a semi-covered dog run in my apartment complex.
