Highlights
Pet care experience
Love all pets. Years of experience
I absolutely adore and love dogs, but I also respect all dogs. I provide lots of love, safe and stimulating play time and walks. I’ll go for a hike with your dog! I have worked with police dogs and at a high end pet resort/cage free boarding facility, Highland Pet Resort, where we board various animals-dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hamsters, Guinea pigs, etc. We also provide doggie daycare and do play group assessments/evaluations to see if A dog can successfully play (no dog aggressive) and match dogs with other dogs based on their play style, energy level, and temperament. We also provide grooming from a groomer with her own business, where I've helped her with challenging dogs and have asked her advice on grooming and such. I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I also have worked with dogs and cats for 10+ years in various settings. I have also taken care of, primarily pet sitting walks, play time, and feedings with active and retired police dogs over the last 10+ years. Often times their commands were in different languages (so civilians wouldn't know what commands were given) so I am flexible with learning new languages. I know how to give most meds including insulin shots and am accommodating to special needs whether it's feeding, excersizing, old age, medical, physical, or a dog or cat who just wants snuggles and cuddles! No dog to big or small. I'm pretty flexible, can work around my work schedule. I also have access to resources such as grooming, trainers, etc. This is my part time job, so on my days off from my main job i have more flexibility in the frequency of dropping by and walks. The days I walk I will drop by as close to the beginning of my shift (depending on when my shift is) and definitely immediately following my shift. For in homes/pet sitting I will be there right before when I have to be at my shift and immediately following my shift. I'm trained in pet (cats and dogs) first aid and CPR via the red Cross as of November 13, 2018! With me your pet will have fun and lots of love!

Safety, trust & environment
Regardless of it being house/pet sitting, drop ins, or walks, I always provide each animal with snuggles, lots of pets, play time. I always make sure that their water bowl is filled with water before leaving.
Ratings and reviews
Christina provided excellent care for our cat Odin when we were away for 2 weeks. We hired her to come in twice a day to feed him, play, and grab our mail. She sent us pictures and updates every day, and you could tell that Odin was having a great time. When we came home she had taken the cans out to the recycling, his litter was clean and he had recently been brushed. Best of all we had a happy cat who had been well taken care of and it showed. Also worth noting is that throughout the hiring and care process she she has been very prompt with communication, responding within an hour (usually less) which is a quality that I appreciate. Definitely do not hesitate to hire Christina.
The best!! Buddy was treated like a king! Christina is wonderful. I had my flight cancelled and Christina graciously stayed an extra night. Thank you so much!!!
Awesome! Christina took such good care of Buddy. He was happy and content when I got home. The house was in beautiful shape. Great communication. Couldn't ask for anything more. Thanks, Christina!!!♡
Just terrific! Felt that my dogs were very safe, comfortable, and cared for while we were away. Christina sent us pictures morning and evening of happy dogs. We are very grateful.
I have known Christina since elementary school. In that amount of time I've had three dogs, a cat and several hamsters; and Christina was great with all of them. I've seen her with mischievous puppies, veteran police dogs and skittish cats. She's patient and knowledgable, and I would trust her to look after any of my animals.
I have known Christina for over 5 years as a coworker and friend. She is the most compassionate, caring and hardworking person I have ever known. Her love for animals is totally unrivalled because she goes above and beyond to provide unparalleled care to any animals put in her care. Infact I have often told her she cares more about animals than humans. She is absolutely trustworthy and dependable when it comes to taking care of animals.

Schedule
I’m pretty flexible. I prefer at least a days notice for drop ins so I can plan my next day with drop ins/walks accordingly to give each pet enough time for loves and pets! I do have other dog walks during the day, so for house sitting requests, pets need to be able to be left alone anywhere for about 5-6 consecutive hours a day (it’s typically about 4.5 hours a day, but sometimes I pick up extra. And also it depends on location/distance between your house and my dog walks) and traffic. I will also sometimes have a late night dog walk (anywhere from 9-1030/11 pm) so your pet would need to be ok with me leaving and returning around that time)
