Pet care experience
Nurturing and Fun Animal Lover
I have loved animals my whole life! My walls were always adorned with National Geographic photos of my favorite creatures and I longed to one day have my own little wolf pack! I grew up mainly with cats and have a huge adoration for the felines of the world. I once had a three legged cat named Ziggy ( Stardust) whom was my most treasured companion. I always had friends with a lot of dogs who depended on me to love and support them as my own. Currently, I have a 8 year old Black Labrador Retriever named Olive who has been my closest furry friend for years! I truly consider her a part of me. I also have been raising my Yellow Lab pup, Juniper, since she was 8 weeks old. She is now currently 4 years and 2 months old. Raising a puppy has by far been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I have had so much fun training her! I consider myself a confident two legged friend who knows how to set healthy boundaries so that a pup can become the best they can be! I am a practicing herbalist and my heart is always geared towards healing. I care deeply for the sweet animals in my life!

Safety, trust & environment
I like to play a little fetch or tug with them out in the yard or whatever keeps your pup stimulated:) But happy to take a nice long walk when appropriate for your pooch. I am very attentive to all animals and do my best to make them feel comfortable and loved.
Ratings and reviews
Christina was a wonderful care taker for our pets and house. She provided timely updates and communications. The pets where very happy and well cared for when we got home. I could not recommend her enough for anyones furry friends.
I had the pleasure of meeting Christina and having her stay in our home, and we couldn’t be happier. We have three dogs, and when I came home they were clearly content and well cared for—I know this because they were happily exhausted! Christina sent us the most adorable photos during her stay, which brought us so much peace of mind. Our home looked wonderful as well—honestly, even better than when we left it. Our dogs each have big personalities and very specific needs, and Christina listened carefully and followed everything exactly as we discussed. We are so grateful to have her in our lives now and felt completely confident that our dogs were safe, loved, well fed, and truly cared for. That’s all anyone could ever want. And she is very cool and patient! Lucky us!
Christina is an amazing pet sitter. My huge dog is usually skeptical of new people but immediately liked her, as did I. She sent updates, communicated extremely well throughout the booking and sitting process, and followed all instructions. She went above and beyond and left everything very neatly. I would definitely recommend Christina. She's a natural with dogs, trustworthy, reliable and will put your mind at ease when you have to leave your furry friends for a little while.
Christina was awesome! She took great care of our 2 fur babies (cats) while we were on vacation. She sent lots of updates and pictures which was great and she even took it upon herself to vacuum up their litter off the floor which I didn’t ask her to do. I thought that was really cool and showed she’s willing to go the extra mile! I will definitely book her again in the future if possible :)
Christina is a fantastic dog-sitter. She came to my place, we visited & she got to know Roxy--a husky rescue. Roxy normally does not warm up to strangers, as she has had trauma in her life, but she liked Christina. Christina was kind & empathetic & I knew that she loves animals! I would love to have Christina pet-sit again someday at my home in the central coast of Calif.
Christina has a loving and easy way with dogs....they love her! She is responsible, compassionate, attentive and kind. I could not recommend her more highly for any job related to caregiving dogs. Sunny
