Fun & Responsible Pet Lover!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Christina, and I am an experienced and compassionate dog lover. With over a decade of experience caring for friends and family's pets, I've interacted with a variety of breeds and understand that each pet has its own set of needs and unique personality. Currently, I share my life with the sweetest Beagle named Blue. She's been a part of my family for the past three years and has taught me valuable lessons about patience, understanding, and unconditional love. Being a rescue, she has faced her fair share of behavioral and physical health challenges, which has allowed me to become adept at working with dogs who may have similar issues or require extra care due to their age. When I'm not out walking dogs, I work full-time as a Career Coach at a University. My background in mental health counseling has provided me with invaluable skills in empathy, active listening, and effective communication. I believe in applying these qualities not only when working with humans but also when caring for our beloved four-legged friends. As a Tampa Bay native, I am familiar with local parks and resources within Pinellas County, and I also genuinely enjoy exercising and spending time outdoors. I believe that regular exercise is crucial for a dog's overall well-being and happiness. You can trust that I will provide your pet with the physical activity they need to stay fit and healthy. Lastly, reliability is of utmost importance to me. I understand that your dog's safety is a top priority, and I take pride in being punctual and dependable. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!
Reviews
I highly recommend Christina. She cared for my 2 big dogs and did a great job, as they were quite the handful! She also has an adopted dog of her own, which shows her deep caring for pets. She’s experienced in pet safety, she would definitely provide safe, loving care and great customer service. She’s cautious, trustworthy, smart, responsible, highly accomplished, educated and a sweet friendly person. My dogs loved her and I’m sure yours will too.
Highly recommend Christina for caring for your pets. She is very responsible and super responsive for any needs or concerns you might have while she is helping you out! 10/10 recommend!
Christina was AMAZING when watching my maltipoo, Daisy! I got pictures everyday of Daisy getting lots of pets and they went on her daily walks - she even played with her and her tons of toys, too. She followed all of my instructions when it came to her feeding and care and we will most definitely be booking Christina again. Daisy can't wait for another vacay with her new favorite sitter!
My little corgi Fischer absolutely loves Christina! I would trust her with him without hesitation. Christina would be a wonderful addition to anyone looking for some extra assistance with their furry friends.
