I'm Christina! After spending many years in the corporate world, I made the rewarding decision to turn my passion for animals into my full-time career. That experience taught me the importance of professionalism, communication and reliability —qualities I now bring to every pet and family I care for. Like many of my clients, my husband Scott and I love to travel, so we understand how difficult it can be to leave a beloved pet behind. After years of searching for someone we completely trusted to care for our own little Pomeranian, Juniper, I decided to become the kind of sitter I was always hoping to find. Looking for one trusted sitter you can use for years? That's exactly the kind of relationship I love building. My clients are often professionals who travel frequently, couples who vacation several times a year, or pet parents who have trusted me with their pets for years. There's nothing more rewarding than becoming the sitter they call every time they travel. My goal is simple: I want your pets to feel like they're coming to a second home—not a boarding facility. There is nothing better than seeing a dog run through my front door excited for another visit because they already know they're somewhere safe, comfortable, and loved. My hope is not simply to care for your pet during one trip, but to become someone you can confidently rely on for all of your future pet sitting needs. *In-Home Boarding* *A Calm Home Environment* Because our own pup Juniper is an 11-year-old, six-pound Pomeranian, our home is best suited for small dogs, senior dogs, and pets with calmer personalities or lower energy levels. While I occasionally welcome larger dogs, they are typically older, gentler dogs whose temperament and activity level make them a good fit for our relaxed environment and other pets in my care. If your dog loves all-day wrestling matches, rough play, or has the energy level of a puppy despite being fully grown, there are many wonderful sitters and daycare-style environments on Rover that may be a better fit. *Thoughtful, Selective Pairings* I believe every dog deserves to feel safe and comfortable during their stay. Rather than operating like a high-volume boarding facility, I intentionally keep the number of pets in my care low. I occasionally board compatible dogs together, especially long-term clients whose personalities I know well. Every pairing is thoughtfully considered based on temperament, energy level, size, and previous experience so that every pet has a positive, low-stress experience. *Full-Time Care* Because pet sitting is my full-time profession, I have the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, companionship, playtime, snuggles, and individualized attention throughout the day. Whether your pet stays with me or I visit your home, you'll receive regular updates and photos so you can truly relax while you're away. Because I'm home throughout the day, pets are rarely left alone for extended periods and become part of our daily routine while they're here. *Drop-In Visits* I also provide drop-in visits throughout East Nashville for families whose pets are happiest remaining in their own homes. Visits can include: • Feeding and fresh water • Potty breaks • Playtime and companionship • Medication administration when appropriate • Litter box care • Bringing in packages and mail • Watering plants *A Few Things to Know* I primarily serve East Nashville and also travel to surrounding neighborhoods for a small travel fee. For the safety of every pet in my care, I specialize in small dogs and dogs up to approximately 50 pounds. I occasionally make exceptions for gentle senior dogs. For larger dogs receiving drop-in visits or house sitting, I do require a securely fenced yard. If you're looking for a sitter for one trip, I'd be honored to help. If you're looking for someone to truly get to know your pet and care for them like they are part of my own family, I'd love the opportunity to meet you both and become a trusted part of your future travel plans.
