Expert dog caretaker
Pet care experience
I have been caring for dogs from puppies to seniors for 12 years. I pride myself on offering an experience that goes beyond just basic pet care. I am deeply committed to understanding and meeting the unique needs of each dog I have the pleasure of caring for. I prioritize building strong bonds with both pets and their owners. I understand that leaving your beloved companion in someone else's care can be a daunting experience, which is why I strive to create a nurturing and comfortable environment for both pets and their humans. I am happy to tailor my services to cater to a wide range of needs. Whether it's training puppies, providing specialized care for senior pets, or administering medication, I approach each task with patience, compassion, and expertise. For puppies, I offer structured training sessions to help them learn essential commands and develop good behaviors from an early age. This not only ensures a harmonious relationship between pet and owner but also lays a solid foundation for a well-behaved and happy dog. When it comes to senior pets, I understand the unique challenges they may face, from mobility issues to medical concerns. I provide gentle care and attention, making sure they're comfortable, safe, and enjoying their golden years to the fullest. I believe in open communication and transparency every step of the way. I keep pet owners updated with regular photos, videos, and messages, so they can have peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands. I have an unwavering dedication to providing top-notch care and companionship to every pet entrusted to me. I treat each dog as if they were my own, and I'm committed to making their time with me a happy and enriching experience.
Reviews
Christina has been great with pets her whole life. She has taken great care of my two dogs and all of our family dogs. She is dedicated and hard working. She loves animals and would do anything to make them feel loved and cared for. She has tons of experience caring for animals!
I cannot recommend Christina enough for anyone in need of a caring and loving pet sitter! She has watched my dog Scout many times and sometimes I think he wishes he could stay with her. She always provides amazing care and attention and keeps me updated with photos and messages. Her genuine passion for dogs always shines through in the care she provides. Will be booking her again!
Christina is not only the most loving and caring dog owner/sitter, but extremely knowledgeable about dog training and health. She has taken care of my dog Bear and many dogs I know as if they are her own. When I go away or need someone to walk Bear I always feel comforted knowing he’s with Christina!
Christina is great with dogs and will be a perfect loving pet caregiver for your dogs. She is very knowledgeable about dogs. Can’t recommend her enough!

Safety, trust & environment
Whether caring for pets in my own home or in the comfort of my client's home, my approach remains rooted in providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment tailored to each pet's needs. In my home, I ensure a welcoming atmosphere where pets feel like part of the family. I maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, free of hazards, and with ample room for pets to move around and play. Regular walks, playtime, and enrichment activities are integral parts of their daily routine, ensuring they get the physical exercise and mental stimulation they need to thrive. For overnight stays, I provide cozy sleeping arrangements, whether it's a comfortable bed, a favorite blanket, or a designated sleeping area. I strive to maintain a consistent schedule that mirrors the routine pets are accustomed to, including feeding times, potty breaks, and any medication administration if needed. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize creating a sense of familiarity and security. I make sure to follow the pet's established routine as closely as possible, minimizing stress and disruption. This includes feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific care instructions provided by the pet owner. I also ensure the home environment is safe and comfortable for the pet, addressing any potential hazards and maintaining a clean and tidy space. Regular communication with the pet owner is key, providing updates on their pet's well-being, along with photos and videos to offer peace of mind while you're away. Whether in my home or my client's home, my goal is to provide attentive, personalized care that meets the unique needs of each pet, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and happy in my care.

Information Christina C. would like to know about your pet
Understanding each pet's unique personality, preferences, and needs is crucial for providing the best possible care and ensuring a positive experience for both the pet and the owner. Ahead of time, I make it a priority to gather important information about the pets I'll be caring for to tailor my services accordingly. Here are some key points I like to know: Medical History and Special Needs Behavioral Traits Routine and Preferences Training and Commands Emergency Contacts and Vet Information By gathering this information ahead of time, I can tailor my approach to meet the individual needs of each pet, providing them with personalized care and attention that ensures a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience during their time in my care.
A typical day
I believe in keeping pets not just physically healthy but also mentally stimulated and emotionally fulfilled. That's why I offer a variety of fun and engaging activities tailored to each pet's personality, preferences, and energy levels. For active dogs who love to burn off energy, I enjoy taking them on scenic walks or runs in the neighborhood or nearby parks. Exploring new sights and smells provides mental stimulation while also giving them the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. If they enjoy playing fetch or frisbee, I'm always up for a game of their favorite outdoor activity. For more laid-back pets, I offer gentle activities like cuddle sessions, belly rubs, or simply lounging together while enjoying some quality one-on-one time. Interactive puzzle toys, treat-dispensing balls, and hide-and-seek games can also provide mental stimulation and keep them entertained. For pets who enjoy socializing, I may arrange playdates with other friendly dogs, always ensuring compatibility and supervision for a safe and enjoyable experience. Group walks or trips to dog-friendly parks are also great opportunities for socialization and meeting new dog friends. Ultimately, I believe in tailoring activities to each pet's individual needs and preferences, ensuring they have a fun and fulfilling experience while in my care. Whether it's exploring the outside, enjoying stimulating games, or simply receiving lots of love and attention, I'm dedicated to providing pets with a memorable and enjoyable time during their stay with me.
