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!
