Come To Me, Animal Friends!
Pet care experience
If you knew how much I adore dogs and cats and the amount of attention, affection and activity they will receive in my care, you would have already signed me up! I have heaps of experience dog/cat sitting, dog hosting, and dog walking. Some have called me a dog/cat whisperer - I seem to be able to crack the toughest of nuts (pets that are very shy). I am highly tuned in to an animal’s temperament, personality and preferences and I cater to them, lavishing (if they like) loads of snuggles and pets and belly rubs and brushing, and of course exercise. Up until now I traveled frequently for my job so don’t have pets of my own - but everywhere I go if there’s a dog or cat nearby that’s where you’ll find me. I’ve settled down now and while I’m not quite ready to commit to an animal companion of my own (because I understand how deep the commitment is!), I’d still like to hang out and do fun things with them.
Reviews
Christina was amazing! This was the first time we'd left Bear and I was a bit nervous. We loved all the updates and pictures and couldn't have been happier. Her love for animals shines through everything she does. Wishing Christina all the best for her summer in Alaska and keeping our fingers crossed she comes back!
Thank you Christina for your sincere devotion to my Jesse! I would recommend you to any person with a pooch, large or small, that needs a trustworthy animal lover/sitter. So sad for us you’re headed to AK for summer but please let me know when you’ll be back. Jesse and the creek await!
My dog Louie stayed with Christina for a week. I was very happy with the service she provided. He is a sweet boy, afraid of men and children, so I was looking for an environment conducive to his needs. I was also looking for a non-smoking household and a person home most of the day, thus limiting exposure to Covid. In my first conversation with Christina, I knew she was kind and compassionate, and I knew immediately, this was the person I wanted for Louie. I definitely knew she was someone extraordinary, perhaps the “dog whisperer” mentioned in a previous review. I could tell in the way she related to me that she would take very good care of him and that he would be her top responsibility and priority. I needed someone whose personality and temperament would match Louie’s, as I know my dog has horrible separation anxiety and needed a compassionate soul who would understand and love him. Christina was very good about sending updates and pictures of Louie. I could tell by the photos that Louie was being well taken care of and could tell by his expression that he was comfortable in her home. Christina and Louie went for walks together. When she left the house to run an errand, he went with her. They were buddies. He had privileges in her home that he does not have in mine. She really connected to him in a special way which was comforting and reassuring to me. It is my pleasure to recommend her as a care giver for your special pet. I would not hesitate to use her services again.
I’ve known Christina for over a decade and she is one of the biggest animal lovers I know. She has taken care of my dog several times and she is honestly one of his favorite people. She’s very loving and she is very responsible. My dog means the world to me and I would trust her with any pet, any time.

Information Christina B. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know temperament, size, sociability, if they are house trained, if they have any special needs. I love all dogs, but I have a soft spot for border collies and just about any retriever.
A typical day
We will walk around the neighborhoods, dog parks and perhaps trails depending on location. Play in the yard. I absolutely love playing games with dogs - whatever they’re up for - fetch, frisbee, tug of war, etc. I also love caring for older buddies. They all get plenty of TLC and attention!
