Caring for Your Pets Like Family

I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, frogs, bearded dragons, anoles/geckos and fish. I grew up with pets and got my first dog at 18, which really shaped my love and understanding of animal care. Since then, I have raised multiple cats, including rescues and bonded pairs, as well as my Black Lab, all in a busy, loving, kid-friendly and family oriented home. I also have firsthand experience caring for senior pets and animals with medical needs. I currently have a diabetic cat who requires insulin injections and a cat with allergies who needs daily oral medication. My first dog, Cole, developed bladder cancer later in life and required ongoing home care, veterinary care, medications and extra attention. These experiences taught me how important it is to follow routines carefully, notice changes in a pet's behavior, and provide patience, comfort, and reassurance when they need it most. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, and caring for pets at all life stages—from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra attention. My pets have always been part of the family, so I know how important it is to provide not just basic care, but comfort, patience, and a safe environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I’m happy to tailor my services to fit each pet’s unique needs and routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort means everything to me. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most relaxed and secure, and I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care, and I always take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, habits, and little quirks so they feel comfortable with me. I’m very attentive, patient, and experienced with feeding routines, administering medication, and caring for both young and senior pets. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own family—I’ll always keep you updated so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Christina was the absolute best! She was able to come watch our boys on short notice while we were away for our wedding. She is very communicative, friendly, and deeply cares for your pets. We will definitely be recommending her & rebooking in the future. Thank you so so much!! 🩷

Schedule

I work full-time as an educator, so I’m available before and after school hours during the week, as well as on weekends. My schedule is very consistent, and I’m home in the afternoons, evenings, and nights for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. During the summer, I have much more flexibility and availability throughout the day, which allows me to provide even more hands-on attention and care.
