Love, Attention and Friendship!

Pet care experience

I NO LONGER BOOK ON ROVER. PLEASE TXT - 631 : 664 : 8852 I’ve had pups since I was 2! I've seen and cared for them at every stage of life :) Currently, I've been training intensively with my new puppy (he’s 1!). My clients have included pups who are special needs (e.g., have allergies, separation anxiety, limited or no mobility (ivdd), reactivity, lack socialization, elimination issues, or just the ones who can't seem to understand how to walk on a leash). I gotchu 👍 I’m happy to help train, chill, and care for (snuggle, kiss, and give belly rubs) your best friend. <3 They deserve love, fun, and a happy life! I want you to feel good about leaving your bff in my care and not stress. I can send updates (texts or end-of-day wrap-ups), pictures, and videos. (I'll try and get you some Instagram-worthy shots, too📸)

Christina has been sitting my pup since we met in a neighborhood dog community group and we’re so thankful to have met her! She is very accommodating of my dog’s needs and makes me feel reassured that she’s left in good hands. Her pup Lenny is also a welcoming host and I can tell from her interactions with him that she has a great understanding of dog behavior. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her for future dog sitting or walks. Thank you Christina!!

Just when I thought it would be impossible to find some that encompasses both fortitude (in the face of my stubborn and sometimes aggressive French Bulldog) and compassion, I found Christina. She is a godsend. When she's with my pup, she adopts my training methods and uses the language that he is used to, follows my dog's diet restrictions (when giving treats to reinforce good behaviors), and really pays attention to all of the important subtleties that can easily go unnoticed- I honestly call her "the dog whisperer," which I know is a bit cliche, but she really is. She's in my dog's head and she's able to intuitively prepare for anything my nutball throws at her. She also has a presence that demands obedience while also being a mush with my little dude. I was hesitant to write a testimonial since she's like a hidden gem I want to keep for myself!! She's also skilled at managing her schedule and is very communicative and flexible, by chance any changes need to be made by either her or me. I do recommend Christina, without reservation, for all of your pup needs.

I will follow all of your instructions and wishes. I can help facilitate the training you are currently implementing, but every booking comes with cuddles, play, and a watchful eye. Every pup is different, and I understand one size doesn’t fit all dogs or owners. So please let me know their schedule and of any quirks, food allergies, temperament issues, or reactivity you bff may have. I also understand leaving your pet, the most precious part of your family, is unbelievably difficult. Please don't hesitate to ask me anything! I get it! And I also am really invested in you enjoying your day, vacation or slaying your work trip (or whatever!) knowing all is well with your bff. And I truly want animals to have a great life (Tbh, I may like them more than most people). 🫶🏽 I’m excited to extend the same care and devotion I give my little guy to yours, too❣️ FYI: I have a 1-year-old mini poodle, Lenny. He's very social and playful. He lives in my home, and if I house-sit, he will accompany me. Please see photos of him “working” with me 💕

I have extensive knowledge in training and chilling, so I’m happy to do both! I also love to walk, so if your bff is a walker, let’s hit the road! Let me know where you usually go, and I'll take them to new places to get their nose and brain working. I’m happy to personalize my services to you and your pet's needs!
