Gentle soul and animal lover

Pet care experience

I'm a WFH product designer in the Highlands, looking to hang with your furry friend in my spare time. I've been caring for animals since I was a neighborhood dog walker and cat sitter as a child. I've also fostered cats and kittens through the SPCA. People feel that their pets are comfortable with me, and this has lead to multiple friends and colleagues asking me to care for their pets. They also ask me back for repeat visits. I am patient and protective and happy to care for pets with special needs. I live an active lifestyle so stamina will never be a problem in walks, and I can always slow the pace for those with shorter legs. I love animals and will love your pet. My husband is allergic to pets so I am not able to host your pet in my home.

Christina is the best! She to excellent care of my puppy poodle Ella. She also made sure my house was not damaged by my exuberant puppy.

Christina is our #1 favorite sitter. Thoughtful, friendly, reliable and our animals have loved her since the moment they met her.

Safety, trust & environment

I am experienced with preventing escape artists when I enter your home and am happy to crate your pet when requested. I always shine a light on your dog if we need to cross the street in the dark and I understand the unique safety threats from our local predatory animals.

Information Christina D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special needs your pet may have, as well as routines you typically like to follow with them. If your dog has a favorite walking route or your cat has a favorite toy, I would love to know!

A typical day

I love providing animals with a happy, healthy experience. I understand that I am often a pet’s only opportunity for social and environmental interaction when owners are away. I will talk to your pet and make sure we fill needs such as exercise, petting, and exploring.
