Pet care experience

I enjoy helping families feel safe by ensuring lots of pictures and pup love while they were gone on a trip or away for work. I want to continue doing that because I miss having a pup of my own and I really enjoy helping pet owners feel secure, train their pups, socialize their pups, and ensure their other pets love and security with maximum snuggles! I can’t think of a better win win. I have experience with aggressive dogs and dogs who struggle with separation anxiety. I also am comfortable administering medication. Additionally, I am a behavioral health worker and need pet therapy, of course! I also have a 14 month old daughter. She loves animals and has been around dogs and cats since a young age, and is respectful and kind to dogs. Many young dogs or dogs who have families at home have really enjoyed staying at our house with kiddos! Likewise, my kids do not mind a sleepy, cuddly cat in their bed. I hope to hear from you soon!

Christina was wonderful! She took great care of our puppy, and was so flexible when we were stuck in traffic and made it home MUCH later than planned! This was our first experience with Rover, and the bar has been set high...thank you so much!!!

Christina took wonderful care of my Ellie, took her for walks, she loved her fenced in yard, but most of all, the love and hugs she received from Christinas toddlers. She sent pics daily and kept me updated daily, I would highly recommend her, very caring person...❤

We love Christina. She’s super accommodating to any of our wacky schedule needs. She does a nice job with the dogs, and I feel 100% my dogs are being taken care of with her! Highly reccomend, she will be our forever dog watcher.

Christina was great! She truly loves dogs and was so good with our pit bull. I love that she has young kids who were playing with Daisy and just giving her love.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a shaded, fenced-in backyard. Our house is animal friendly and any animal we welcome into our home is apart of the family (meaning they are welcome on couches, beds, outings) I have a cat who tends to interact with humans but isolated from dogs without any hostility. We frequent Moore park and love going to picnics in the park. We enjoy the beechview spray park, the seldom seen greenway, and of course- trips for pup cones at the drive thru of Starbucks.

Information Christina D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dogs favorite activities and things that help make them feel at home. I also would need to know of any signs of aggression or separation anxiety.

A typical day

I will make arrangements with each individual client to ensure that the dogs are comfortable. If a dog requires a specific trail or walking point to feel comfortable, I would accommodate that as much as possible. My favorite location to take dogs to is Frick Park. I also love the highland park dog park, and take dogs down to the ice cream shop for doggie treats. I love laying outside at the park and your dog would enjoy a fun family day with tons of fetch, running around, and hiking on the back trails.

Availability

I currently work a basic 9-5 job but have the ability to take breaks in hour time blocks during the week. I am looking for a variety of work and wouldn’t mind a one time gig or a long term commitment. I intend to be in the Pittsburgh area for the next few years and will be consistent in my schedule/availability.
