Walks and Experienced Pet Care

Pet care experience

My name is Christina. I am passionate about the care of our animal friends. At home I have a Pithound mix named Ragnarök, a small Pit mix named Nix, and a rat named Aikido. I grew up around various dogs, cats, rodents, birds, fish, and reptiles. Spending time as a professional pet sitter with a company helped to educate me in the details of our animal friends and blessed me with a wide array of experience in pet care. Whether it's taking your pet for a walk, enjoying play time, feeding, or medication schedules- it would be a joy to bring peace of mind to you and your pet's day. **A scheduled meet and greet w/one adult in household and pet prior to the first visit is preferred for me to care for your animal(s). This gives them a chance to know who I am and feel comfortable when I arrive, and gives you a chance to tell me any details about your routine with your pet to keep them happy! ** I am available in the evening and most weekends to help out if you're hoping to sneak in a night out with friends, have to work late, or could use the extra hand. Please feel free to reach out, I look forward to meeting you and your pet pals!

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable with walking dogs of any size and breed. For drop-in visits I am happy to help with any animal from dogs to cats, reptiles to rodents. I am comfortable cleaning litter boxes or filling food and water. I am also comfortable with giving your pet their meds if needed. If they need eye or ear drops or medication added to a meal that is fine, I only ask very clear instructions are left or explained beforehand.

Information Christina E. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any allergies please let me know. If they are allowed treats and what kind/how many to give or if strictly for training. If they are training -would you like me to have them practice? (ie: we are trying to teach not to jump or how to sit when asked, etc). If they get along with strangers and/or other animals. If you have any special requests or preference beforehand. If your pet has been vaccinated.

A typical day

Around the neighborhood, through the park, or along the trails! I'm always prepared with an extra tennis ball, squeak toy,poop bags, and leash. I keep fresh towels in case paws get muddy or rain comes through as well. Feel free to let me know a favorite route or park for their outing :)
