Animal Spiritualist & Second BFF
Hi there, I’m Christina, a 32 year old freelance artist with a lifelong passion for animals I spent two years working for The Humane Society and raising money for local animal charities such as Calling All Cats Rescue. I have always loved pets, and over the last five years doing Rover I've gained experience caring for a variety of pets from dogs, to cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, and even leopard geckos. I've had my five year old cat since he was two months old, and taught him tricks and how to walk outside on a leash if you can believe it! If hired, I will always treat your fur babies as if they were my own and shower them with all of the love and attention they'd be getting if you were home. Let's plan a playdate soon! The paw-sibilities are endless. (: Skills/Benefits: - Attentive - Friendly - Flexible (Understanding of different dogs' personalities and needs) - Have cared for a variety of pets - Never met a dog who hasn't liked me (including typically aggressive kinds) - Experience giving unique care to a variety of dogs/animals (small-large) for The Humane Society - Wrote articles for Green Leaf Pet Resort

Safety, trust & environment
How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client's home? This will vary depending on which service you offer. I care for pets in their home by giving them plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I know it can be lonely for them when their parents are away, so I do my best to keep them occupied for the entire duration of my visit! I will adapt my playstyle based on the pet's energy levels and preferences. Some pets may need some tug-of-war, while others might wanna belly up for some cuddles. Additionally, for active dogs that enjoy fast-paced walks, I'm happy to take longer walks and even jog with them so they rest well in the evening.
Ratings and reviews
Christina was awesome!! Loved getting an update on how our dog was doing and the pictures. Great communication. Will definitely book Christina for the next time we are away.
Highly recommended!
Christina was very good in understanding the needs of my Ellie. I appreciate her openness and adaptability to our situation. I look forward to utilizing her services again.
Christina was awesome!! She did an excellent job! She communicated with me regularly with updates on how Amber was doing and pics. I will definitely use her again!
This is my second time working with Christina, she’s punctual, responds quickly, gives updates, sends photos with each visit, takes care of my dogs needs and plays with him plenty, she’s a wonderful sitter!💗
We just started our visits with Christina and so far, so good! I have one pup who is extremely anxious with strangers and Christina has made it a point for Finn to establish trust with her. Once you have his heart he is yours, but it is a process to get there. She understands animals and works with you to make sure they are comfortable with her. I am so happy we found her!

Schedule
Since I own my own cat, pet care is a daily activity for me. I make sure to provide my cat with fresh water, dry food, and wet food daily in addition to providing at least 20-30 minutes of playtime/enrichment. I trim my own cats nails and brush his fur & teeth regularly, in addition to cleaning his litterbox. If he is ever sick, I am also the one to provide him with medication. Other than that, animals have always been a big part of my life on both a personal and a professional level. They provide so much unconditional love and support in our lives, so it's truly a pleasure to care for them in theirs. It brings such joy to make sure pets feel loved and cared for when their owners are away, because I know my kitty enjoys the peace of mind when I'm gone.

- I'd like to know if the dog was friendly towards others (humans/other dogs). No breed restrictions! Please inform me of any allergies or special care needs at time of booking. I also enjoy meeting the pets in advance when possible!
