Highlights
Pet care experience
Bunny mom, dog lover, cat scritcher
I have experience taking care of up to four medium-large sized dogs (including one puppy) and three cats (one requiring twice daily insulin injections) at once for extended periods of time (24/7 over a 1-2 week span). I additionally own two bunnies of my own for which I provide 24/7 care and assist in the care of two cats in my household on a daily basis. Additionally, I have experience caring for a senior dog as well as a dog with behavioral sensitivities (adverse to quick movement, anxiety attacks and xenophobia). I love to spend time with animals of all kinds, whether it's snuggling, giving pats or just existing in the same space with them! I am always mindful to avoid being overbearing if an animal demonstrates a need for space, but will equally always love to snuggle if your pet wants to.

Safety, trust & environment
Making sure your pets are safe is top priority for me, so anytime I leave the house (or a room!) I make sure that there is nothing remaining that could endanger your pet. (Can you tell I've worked with puppies?) It's important to me to have a close eye on your animals outdoors and when they are not in a familiar area, so I'm always attentive to make sure they stay safe. When we're on walks or outside of the home, I will always default to being cautious around strangers and other animals. I would much rather be overly careful (even if your pet is the sweetest, most friendly!) around unknown people or pets than have any harm (both to your pet or anyone else) come about. When on walks, I will typically default to politely declining interactions between your pet and strangers or other pets just to ensure that they're safe--because while your pet might be the sweetest in the world, you can never predict what strangers or animals might do! If I notice anything irregular about your pets behavior or something happens (even minor!) I'll ALWAYS let you know immediately with a message so that you're aware. If it's an emergency situation that can't wait, I'll give you a call and take on getting them to a vet (I'm always sure to discuss your preferences on emergency actions and care prior to a booking, so I know ahead of time what steps you want me to take if something happens). When housesitting, I will always ask about cleaning supplies to ensure that if a mess occurs I can adequately clean it. I will always bring my own food and respect any closed doors in your home or areas that you specify are off-limits. If I use any kitchen dishes or pans, I will always wash them prior to ending my stay. Any accidents in the house will always immediately get cleaned up, and I'll let you know if a potty accident left a stain or mark anywhere that I was unable to safely get out. My goal is to leave your home and pets in the same state as you left it/them, or better.
Ratings and reviews
Christina did a wonderful job walking Percy. He felt very comfortable with her.
Thank you so much for taking great care of Dennis! He was well loved and the house looks great. He can’t wait to see you again!
Christina was wonderful to work with. She sent many update pictures which eased my mind being away from my girls. My one dog is wary of new people but she warmed up quickly to Christina. I will definitely be booking Christina for future needs.
Christina was wonderful! Our diabetic dog requires daily injections and and a strict diet. She took excellent care of him and our other dog. We can't back to everything as we left it and two healthy, happy pups!
Did such an amazing job! Took great care of my dog and I got lots of photo updates! Will definitely use Christina again :)
My pup and I love when Christina hangs with him!

Schedule
**I offer variable housesit rates based on how long your pet can be left alone during a typical day (but all housesit rates include me staying overnight!) If you need someone there 24/7 I can do that—just ask! I've taken a break from full-time employment to focus on work that gives me personal fulfillment, and pet-sitting definitely scratches that itch! I'm available nearly around the clock to watch your fur babies. I'm happy to stay overnight in your home, as well as stay with them however long they need during the day (as this is my full-time work right now!).
