Home Full-Time Sitter and Walker

Pet care experience

Hello there! Im just getting back into Rover for the Spring and Summer so my schedule is open! Animals are my passion. Currently, I provide drop-in visits to your home during the day and pet walking. As cliche as it sounds, I thoroughly enjoy walking dogs, there's nothing more therapeutic for me. I am experienced with all kinds of animals and patient with any age and temperament. It is important to me to be able to talk with you and fully understand the animal's temperament and needs as each animal is different. I currently work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I have two Dachshunds of my own, Louie (currently 8 years) and Lukas (currently 4 years) - yes there are a handful! They both LOVE being able to play with other dogs! I am a former equestrian and a proud owner of a 5-year-old bearded dragon. I have experience volunteering at a local wildlife rehabilitation center caring for various small wildlife. I am comfortable giving pills and performing baths. If you are working on behavioral or training skills, I will be happy to enforce them during my visit. I'll also be glad to text photos or send a progress message so you know how your baby is doing while you are away from them! ABSOLUTELY NO AGGRESSIVE BREEDS OR AGGRESSIVE BREED MIXES! PLEASE!

Amazing cat sitter. Very attentive, always on time, and a pleasure to work with.

Christina is absolutely amazing with my pomsky, Kaya! She checks in on and walks her twice a week. I was very hesitant at first, as Kaya is extremely unruly on a leash and tries to run out of the house the second that our door opens. Christina listened to all of Kaya’s quirks and adjusted accordingly. She is extremely responsive and caring. Kaya gets excited every time Christine comes by! I will also be using Christina to stay with Kaya if/when we go away. I wouldn’t trust anyone else! Highly recommend Christina for your pup’s needs.

Christina was amazing with my two sibling kitties. They can be double trouble of sass and she handled it well and followed all my care instructions perfectly. she even brought her own treats! I will be booking again!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very family and pet-friendly neighborhood that is very safe for walking and has lots of open grassy areas for your fella or gal to have fun in.

Information Christina C. would like to know about your pet

there are a few things I'd like to know beforehand: Are there any personality quirks or bad habits I should be aware of? Is he or she good on a leash? Is he or she good with other dogs?

A typical day

1. Doggie stroller available if your dog is more senior or doesn't do walks very well. 2. "Nervous Dog Do not Pet" sleeve available to place on your pup if he is more on the timid side. 3. Crate available if your pup requires. Walks depend on your and your dog’s preference. I am familiar with local parks, walking trails and dog-friendly areas or just around your (or my) neighborhood. I'm also great at providing endless tummy scratches! My two weenie dogs can act as great walking companions if your little friend is up for it!
