Your Pet’s Home-Away-From-Home

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name’s Christina, your friendly neighborhood dog walker and enthusiast. For you Minnetonka area and downtown folks, I can help create the purfect retreat for you’re pup! Whether you’re looking for an in-home pet sitter or if you need a dog walker, I’d be more than happy to help you and your family - even in a pinch! Rest assured, your fur baby is in great hand when you choose me and they’re bound to have a good time! Prior to booking, I will set up a conversation or in-person meet-and-greet to get to know more about you and your pup. This way, I can provide the best for your dog, I mean after all, they are family! And after a home visit or walk, I will send you an update and pictures of your dog(s). If you book an in-home pet sitting service, I will provide updates towards the end of each day. To share a bit about myself, I’m a Minnetonka resident and I am familiar with all of the dog parks, walking paths, and city regulations to help keep your pups happy and safe. I’m an avid dog lover and live with my husband, Adam, and our two dogs. I liked them each immediately because, in their different ways, they're all ridiculously good looking! Our eldest, Kaya, is a Siberian Husky, who is also epileptic. She’s taught me a lot about patience, how to administer oral medications, and how to act quickly in case of an emergency. Ranger, who’s a German Shepherd, is our youngest and we welcomed him into our family this winter. Now, he’s nearly 9-months-old and brings a ton of puppy energy! I have trained Kaya and now Ranger entirely myself. You can say that I’m a self taught dog trainer - it’s fun, great for bonding with your pups, and when there’s some much information available online, my thought was, why not? I’ve learned tons and through pet sitting with Rover, I continue to evolve my skills and have taken several dog training one once courses. I am verse in hand commands, but happy to adjust to your preference. In total, I have over eight years of experience and have been pet sitting for the last four years. If you have any other question that my short bio did not touch on, send me a message!

Our dogs had a great time with Christina and her dogs. She kept us informed on how they were doing with text messages and pictures. It was nice to know they were in good hands.

I am so impressed with how well you were able to train Bella in the few days she spent there. She stays now!! I’m amazed! Can’t thank you enough for the warm welcome to Bella (from your dogs as well) and on short notice. I was relieved to know she was in great care while I helped out my family. Definitely will book again soon. You guys are fantastic!
