Dog whisperer
Pet care experience
I listen to dogs, and most dogs love and respect me. I am warm and friendly. I have professionally watched many dogs, and always had a great experience. I am able to tame/ create healthy boundaries with dogs in which they are happy. I show them respect and in turn they show me respect. i am trustworthy, kind, gentle with animals, and will even talk with your dog and encourage them. I look forward to meeting yours! My husband will at times accompany me on walks with your pet, so if your pet does not like men, please let me know ahead of time :) Please feel free to ask me any questions, and I hope that you find me the right sitter for you and your pet! :)

Christina is wonderful!!! She and her husband both loved my dog. My boy is very nervous, and they did all they could to make him feel comfortable. He wouldn't eat the first night, so Christina sat next to him and hand fed him! The next day, while on a walk, he slipped out of his collar (this is in no way her fault- I didn't make sure it was tight, as he's never tried this before. He has seen our old dog do it before, so maybe he learned it from him.) Christina called us and then immediately began looking for him. She scoured the neighborhood and put up tons of signs. I believe she was supposed to go to work that day (her husband was staying home with my dog), but I guess she called in and took the day off so she could look for my dog. Her husband searched, as well. Christina felt just awful. I tried to tell her not to feel guilty, but you can imagine how badly she felt. She is a wonderful person. When I got home and started putting posts on Craigslist, the local shelter sites, the local Facebook lost pets page, etc., EVERY site I went to, I found a post that Christina and Joshua had already put up for my dog. The next day, she and her husband were out looking again. I met several people in the neighborhood and began to hand them fliers, and most of them said that Christina and Joshua had already talked to them. I found my dog- he had finally returned to just a few houses away from Christina's house! Christina and Joshua were both so relieved. I hope this experience doesn't make her shy away from pet sitting, though, because she is so sweet and wonderful with dogs. She will take GREAT care of your pet!!!!! I will definitely use her again, but maybe I should ease my dog into it and just have him go to her for day care a few times first so he can get used to her and realize that I'll come back for him. He's always been a nervous boy, and we just moved to Oregon, so he's just not sure what's going on. I had him microchipped after I found him and I'll put a harness on him for next time! :)
Christina is a wonderful caring woman, great with your dog and her husband also loves dogs. I will use her every time I need to board my dog.
