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.

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.

Chris was amazing! Louie is a big scaredy cat and had an accident. She cleaned everything up and worked so hard to get him to warm up. She even offered to come over later when I was home in order to put Louie at ease. 10/10 caregiver!

Christina is GREAT. She took great care of our senior dog. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided!! She handled his strict medication and diet plan perfectly, and everything was done exactly as instructed!! It’s clear that Christina is a true dog person: patient, attentive, and genuinely kind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!

Christina has been wonderful, leaving us with all her observations and genuine care for our little cats. Will definitively do business again.

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.
