Availability
Pet care is the perfect fit for my current life schedule. I took early retirement from my day job just so I could provide pet services. It’s way less stressful and more rewarding.

I can provide overnight care for a dog in my home as well as provide drip in visits and walks. I can do extended drip in visits for cats so they have a chance to get to know me.

Information Christina D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or strange quirks I should know about. I'm especially fond of beagles. I use to have a beagle and his spirit still travels with me even though he went to the rainbow bridge.
A typical day
When taking dogs for walks, I give them the chance to smell all the interesting things along the way. I can take them to nearby parks for new places to explore if desired. For cats, if they are shy, I hang around longer to give them a chance to come out of hiding. Usually this takes multiple visits but I have the patience for it.

Reliable Pet Sitting You’ll Love🐕
Pet care experience
I’ve always had a soft spot for senior dogs and pets that need a little extra patience, attention, or understanding. I’ve participated in shelter skip days at the SPCA, and I’m almost always drawn to the older dogs. That’s just where my heart is. I genuinely enjoy taking things at their pace, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m also a huge cat person. Whether your cat is social and playful or more reserved and independent, I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel relaxed while you’re away. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets, and I try to be the kind of sitter I’d want for my own animals, responsive, dependable, calm, and genuinely caring. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, medication routines, companionship, or just giving your pet some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help.

Reviews
Chris has been walking my beagle Sammy once a day while I’ve been working longer hours, and she’s been absolutely wonderful. Sammy is a classic beagle and loves chasing squirrels every chance he gets, so he definitely isn’t always the easiest dog to handle. But she has done an amazing job keeping up with him while also making sure he is taken care of. One thing I really appreciated was the pictures and videos she would send me during their walks. It gave me peace of mind. She treats him like her own dog. She is reliable and trustworthy. I felt comfortable with her right away and so did Sammy :-) Highly recommended!
Christina took such amazing care of our little crew, JoJo our pups, and our two cats, Patches and Tito. From the very beginning, she was responsive, kind, and incredibly easy to trust. JoJo absolutely loved his walks with her, and it was obvious Christina genuinely cared about making sure he felt safe, happy, and well exercised. She also spent quality time with Patches and Tito, giving them attention, affection, and patience instead of just “checking a box.” It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pets were being cared for by someone so loving and dependable. What makes Christina such an awesome human being is her warmth, empathy, and the way she treats animals like family. She’s thoughtful, trustworthy, communicative, and clearly has a huge heart for both pets and people. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for safe, loving pet care and outstanding customer service.
Our experience was great from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. I felt like I could trust her right away, which was really important to me when looking for someone to care for my pets. My sister originally recommended her to me, and now I completely understand why. She was reliable, kind, and clearly cared about making sure everything went smoothly. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter or dog walker.
