Caring and responsible animal lover

Pet care experience

Dogs bring so much joy to my life. I grew up with animals including my childhood dog Buffy, who was an energetic husky, german shepherd, malamute mix. I prefer being outside with animals as much as possible whether that is at the park or walking a trail. I am confident in my ability to interact with dogs and will appreciate that I am in somebody else’s home. As a result I will treat it with the utmost respect and make sure that both your dog and home are treated well. I love all dog breeds but prefer larger dogs including gentle giants like newfie dogs. I care deeply about animals and can tell when they are happy and need exercise or just a cuddle on the couch.

Christina stayed in my place and looked after my dog, Nixie, for 8 nights while I was out of town. She is a good communicator, reliable and low maintenance. She ensured that Nixie was well cared for and got at least two walks a day. She sent me some pictures of their outings together that included a trip to the beach and an off-leash hike in Thesis Lake Park on the weekend (which are two of Nixie's favorite things to do). Christina treated my home with respect and left it in great shape. I would not hesitate to recommend her and I look forward to having Christine look after Nixie again the next time I have to head out of town.

Christina was super responsive and easy to coordinate with and provided kind companionship to Luna so we could enjoy a date night without worrying about her.

Christina has been a life-saver for us! We have two dogs, one geriatric with high anxiety, the other a juvenile extremely high energy Australian cattle dog. Christina managed both of their needs reliably and competently allowing us to enjoy our vacation time knowing they were in good hands. She provided us with ongoing feedback and reassuring photos of their time together. I would confidently recommend Christina as a reliable and flexible pet sitter who manages her activities and energies to match our pets’ needs.
