Reliable, loving care for your pet

Pet care experience

I had a cat for most of my life (3 cats over many years, each lived to 16 years old) and have now had a sweet pitbull since 2020. I've always loved animals and love caring for them with respect.

Christina is an absolute gem! From the moment she met my little puppy Chester, I could tell she truly cared. She’s so dedicated and passionate about what she does, and it shows in every interaction. She goes above and beyond, noticing all the little things Chester likes and does, and she works with him so patiently and lovingly. My baby absolutely adores her, and I have such peace of mind knowing he’s in her hands. I can’t recommend Christina enough—she’s not just a pet sitter, she’s someone who genuinely loves and cares for your fur baby as if they were her own.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm happy to care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I'll follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as normal as possible—whether that’s feeding, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I won't just run in and drop the food--I will enjoy spending some quality time with your pet (if they want!) You can count on me to be on time, respectful of your home, and to keep you updated with notes and photos as much as you like so you can always know your pet is in good hands.

Information Christina D. would like to know about your pet

I'm happy to accommodate special needs and special requests--just let me know how I can be of service in the best way possible for you and your pet.

A typical day

I love to let a pet explore as a walk with a lot of smells is very stimulating and exciting for them. That can be complemented with exercise to the pet's level--whether playing frisbee or just some belly-rubs.

I work from home most of the time and go downtown two days/week but those days are flexible and, even on those days, I'd be available for a morning and/or evening or late-night walks.
