Balancing pet care with my roles as a substitute teacher and actress seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate ample time to each responsibility. As a substitute teacher, my hours vary, giving me the freedom to schedule pet care visits around my teaching commitments. Acting projects often have irregular hours, which I can adjust to ensure I’m available for pet sitting. My passion for animals and commitment to their well-being makes it easy to integrate pet care into my life, ensuring every pet receives the attention and love they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Before starting, I meet with the clients to understand their pets' needs, routines, and preferences. This includes feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication requirements, and any specific behaviors or quirks. Then I follow the established routines to minimize any stress or disruption for the pets. This includes feeding them at their regular times, maintaining their usual walking schedules, and providing any necessary medications. I maintain a clean and safe environment by promptly cleaning up any messes and ensuring there are no hazards around the home. I also check that doors and gates are secure to prevent any escapes. Lastly, I keep the owners updated with regular messages, photos, or videos, so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. This communication helps provide peace of mind while they are away. I PROVIDE THE PETS WITH SO MUCH LOVE AND AFFECTION THEY WON'T EVEN REALIZE THEIR OWNERS ARE AWAY!!!!! <333333

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding and genuine respect for animals. I fear no animal and approach each one with a sense of calm and confidence. I recognize that animals are beings with emotions, deserving of care, patience, and empathy. This perspective allows me to connect with them on a deeper level, ensuring they feel safe and loved in my care. Additionally, my special skills include animal behavior training, pet first aid, and a natural ability to communicate with pets, making me well-equipped to handle any situation that may arise.

Christina did such an amazing job with Lincoln! It was my first time leaving him at home without a family member watching him, and she made me feel so comfortable, responding to all my many lengthy messages I sent about how to take care of him! She was on time for everything and sent pics and videos of how he did on walks, mealtimes, and just hanging out. I could tell she was really there for him and made an effort to get close to him even though he can be shy and independent. And he got to snuggle her when there was scary thunder 🥺 She also is very kind and understanding. I definitely recommend Christina 100%

Christina is so sweet. I made the best decision ever when I booked her to drop in and feed my crew on the afternoon of my surgery. It was a huge weight off my mind knowing I didn't have to worry about my kitties being cared for while I was still on an anesthesia stupor! Looking forward to booking her again!
