Animal lover, caring, and attentive
Pet care experience
I am a full time dog mom to my currently 2 year old corgi who I've cared for and trained since he was 8 weeks old! Which is why I am well acquainted with all the puppy routines - as adorable as they are, I am very understanding of puppies having some whoopsie moments too! Through my Rover experience, I was fortunate to work with a bunch of senior pups and have develop a love for their personality. I can also take on a slower pace with senior pups, giving them time and attention so they will warm up to me in no time. Of course, every pup is different so I would love to speak with my clients about their furry friend's unique quirks, personality, temperament, and habits. I treat all furry friends like my own, and will always go the extra mile to ensure they're happy and get the care they need.
Reviews
Christina was very kind and sweet to my fur babies. I highly recommend.
Christina was very patient and kind with my jumpy dog and took her for long, scenic walks. My dog loved her! I’d be happy to use Christina again in the future.
Christina was very responsive and very caring with our puppy. She had to deal with a couple of messy situations as our dog is having digestive issues, but she handled it with grace and empathy. Our dogs gets along wonderfully with her dog and we have lots of adorable pictures from the day.
Christina was great with our pup, Pierogi. She regularly shared pictures and videos throughout the stay. She was also flexible when our pick up time changed.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am attentive to dog behavior and body language. While my own dog is super playful and friendly, I never let me guard down when we host other dogs. I am familliar with most dog behavior and body language, and I have experience training my own and other clients dogs as well, so I am able to maintain control of various scenarios. NOTE FOR BOARDING AND PET SITTING CLIENTS: Timid and shy puppies tend to not get along with my dog as he is a high energy breed and tend to be on a larger side. However, if your dog is playful and gets along well with medium to large size breeds, Panko will be the perfect companion tire them out with a long play date! Potty breaks every 3-4 hours and more often if requested.

Information Christina D. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know your dog's liked and dislikes, walking habits, and the commands they are trained with so I can handle your pet as similar as you would to help them best adjust!
A typical day
We start the day with a 30 minute walk and we come back for some cool down time. We play indoors (fetch and training games) to keep them physically and mentally engaged! Sometimes, we go to the park mid day if it is nice out, or I take my pup to a nearby gated dog run in the evening or morning.
