Pet care experience
Your FUR Baby's Favorite Auntie 🐾
What sets me apart is that I don’t simply “check in” on your fur babies; I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including regular and extended care while their families travel. For the past six years, I’ve been consistently trusted to care for pets when Dad and Mom go away on frequent trips, including stays of more than 30 days. I’m comfortable administering medications, staying at your residence, accommodating specific dietary needs and feeding schedules, maintaining established routines, regular walks and exercise, litter care, playtime, and, of course, plenty of companionship and affection. And please, give me ALL the instructions! You can leave me a legitimate PowerPoint presentation about your baby, and I will happily follow it to a T. 😂 I know every pet has their own routine, favorite things, quirks, boundaries, and very specific ways they like things done. (I’m a Virgo, so I know meticulous details. 😂) I’d much rather know every little detail so I can keep their world as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will also send you pictures and updates to provide you with peace of mind. I’m patient with shy or cautious animals, attentive to changes in behavior, and happy to adapt to different personalities, ages, and energy levels. Whether your baby needs long walks and playtime, is a workout nut (to keep me in shape, too 😂), needs extra attention, wants a cuddle buddy, or needs someone who understands that affection happens strictly on THEIR terms, I’ll follow their lead. Most importantly, I understand that you’re trusting me with a member of your family and, often, your home as well. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your babies are safe, your home is safe, and your babies are comfortable, loved, and having a pretty great time with their favorite auntie, while you take care of whatever needs your attention, without having to stress about what’s happening back at home. 🐾❤️

Ratings and reviews
Christina is the best! I know that three dogs can intimidate most people but her gentle and understanding attitude put my babies at ease instantly upon meeting. She shared many pictures with me of my babies and you could tell that they were comfortable and happy with her company. I would highly recommend her.
Christina treated Rocky like her own. Her love, care, and attentiveness made her an excellent caretaker. She was very conscientious about getting to know his routine, likes, and dislikes, and I always felt that his wellbeing was a priority. I also really appreciated how knowledgeable she was about his specific breed. Most of all, it was clear that she genuinely enjoyed her time with Rocky, which meant so much to us. We would absolutely recommend her!
Christina is incredibly dependable and understands how important my two girls are to me. She has watched them multiple times, and she is the only sitter I trust completely and feel totally at ease with while I’m away. She communicates with me consistently, follows their special diet carefully, plays with them, and gives them plenty of love and snuggles. My dogs absolutely adore her—she has such a calm, loving energy that they immediately respond to. I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with them. I highly recommend Christina!
Christina is the absolute best with my fur baby. She is like a second mother to him and I trust her completely to take care of him while I'm away for work. The only time I get stressed is when she is not available. It's gotten to that point.
Christina was my neighbor for a long time and while there she had two Dobermans that she regularly cared for. I have three dogs and a cat and I trusted Christina to check in on them when I was at work too long or was out of town. I strongly recommend Christina for this position. She is trust worthy and genuinely cares for animals.
Christina was absolutely amazing with my cats sphinx and Luna while I was away on a trip to California. I came home to happy cats, she kept up their litter and the litter box. Their water was refreshed and they were CLEARLY fed. They also seemed more at ease when I returned than some of my other trips so I will definitely be booking her again.

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Whether your baby needs early morning or evening walks, scheduled feedings, medication at specific times, regular check-ins, playtime, or simply someone around to keep them company, I can adjust my schedule around their needs. I’m also available for overnight and extended stays in your home, which allows your pets to remain comfortable in their own environment and maintain the routine they’re already used to. Since my schedule has flexibility, I’m happy to spend quality time with your babies rather than rushing in and out. 🐾❤️
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, exercise, litter care, playtime, bedtime routines, and all of those little details that make your baby feel safe and at home. We spend most of the day together, so they are not alone for long periods of time if I have to run off to check on another baby. I’m happy to stay overnight and spend quality time with your pets rather than simply popping in and out if you prefer. I’ll give them the level of attention and affection THEY are comfortable with, whether that means lots of cuddles and companionship, plenty of activity, or giving a shy kitty their space until they decide I’ve earned their approval. 😂 I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give mine. I’ll keep things tidy, clean as needed, and secure, and send you regular pictures and updates. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that both your babies and your home are being genuinely cared for. 🐾
A typical day
I love keeping pets active, happy, and engaged while staying within their normal routine and your instructions! Depending on your pet’s personality and needs, we can enjoy neighborhood walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, or trips to the dog park when approved. I’m happy to incorporate their favorite activities while always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and your preferences.

- I’d love to know anything that helps me keep your pet happy, comfortable, and safe, such as their normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, fears or triggers, and how they interact with other animals and people. Please also share any special needs, behavioral quirks, or house rules you’d like me to follow. The more I know about your pet, the more I can make their time with me feel like home!
