Dependable Vet Tech with Insurance
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Christina. My love for animals began when I was very young. I started volunteering with animal shelters & eventually rescue groups. I became a veterinary technician and started pet sitting in 2009. I have experience with cats & dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities and health status. I am skilled in providing oral & injectable medications, monitoring blood glucose levels, SQ fluid administration & special care for sick or aging pets. I also have experience petsitting rabbits, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, bearded dragons, fish, tarantulas, & scorpions. I am both licensed & insured.
Reviews
Christina was awesome!! My babies took right to her on the meet and greet. The photos and updates were very reassuring while I was out of town, that they both were comfortable and taken care of. Christina treated my pups with love and care as if they were her own. I will definitely be a returning customer!!!
Christina was amazing with our very shy dog. She went above and beyond to make sure we and our dog were comfortable with her caring for him while we were away. She even stopped by prior to our trip just to make sure we were all at ease since it was her first time sitting for us. I highly recommend Christina. She will make sure your pet is well taken care of.
Christina is great! She is a great communicator. Always sends pictures. Treats your dog as her own! Will definitely use her again!
CHRISTINA AND HER FAMILY ARE THE BEST I LEFT MY DEBO FOR THE FIRST TIME I WAS A TOTAL WRECK NERVOUS AND WONDERING WOULD MY DEBO BE OKAY. CHRISTINA GAVE ME PLENTY OF UPDATES TO REASSURE ME THAT DEBO WAS WELL TAKEN CARE OF I RECEIVED PICTURES AS WELL AS VIDEOS SHE DID AN AWESOME JOB. SHE DID SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB MY BABY DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE HER HOME. IT WAS A TIME GETTING HIM TO COME HOME THAT LETS ME KNOW HE FELT SAFE THERE. AND IF I EVER HAVE THE NEED AGAIN WITHOUT A DOUBT I WOULD CHOOSE HER SERVICE AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU CHRISTINA AND YOUR FAMILY FOR SHOWING MY BABY DEBO SO MUCH LOVE❤️?❤️

During our meet-and-greet, I will get detailed information on your care preferences & your pet's needs. I will follow your instructions & treat your pet like my own. A meet-and-greet (no charge) is required for all first time drop-in visits & dog walking. After the meet-and-greet, I'm available for a trial visit ($15) if it will make you & your pet more comfortable. A pet sitting contract is required to be completed at our meet-and-greet. It is your responsibility to notify me if changes need to be made after that. Please review the contract in my photo album. A copy of my insurance policy will be made available at our meet-and-greet.
Information Christina G. would like to know about your pet
Prior to scheduling your pet, I'd like to know your pet's temperament, health conditions, medications, dietary restrictions, triggers/fears/anxieties/destructive habits, & personality quirks. Has your pet ever shown any signs of aggression? How does your pet behave on a leash for walks? Reactions to humans/pets/vehicles/noises/objects during walks? Does your pet eat things he/she shouldn't like towels toys ect?
A typical day
I love taking dogs out for walks and playing games with them. If your pup is on the less active side, we can spend time cuddling while I talk to him/her. I tend to give a lot of treats....a whole lot of treats :) Most cats tend to be shy when they have a pet sitter. I encourage them to come out and play. I am guilty of bribing them with treats and laser lights. Additional services I provide Nail trims $10 Ear cleanings $8 Bath $30 NO FLEA BATHS If you pet allows, I can trim nails & clean with with his/her bath Pet waste removal - Once per week $15, twice per week $25, or every other week $20.

If requested, visits can also include water plants, collect mail/newspapers, trash takeout, alternate lights, alternate blinds/curtains, and light cleaning in the pet’s main room. A photo and/or text update will be sent daily. DOG WALKING: 30 minute standard walks: Ideal for dogs who require regular exercise and outdoor time. Each walk lasts for 30 minutes, ensuring your pet gets their much-needed stretch and sniff around the neighborhood. 30 minute senior dog strolls: Gentle and shorter walks designed for older dogs that prefer a slower pace and plenty of sniffing stops. Depending on your pet’s needs, 15 to 20 minutes is spent walking. The remaining time is spent with cuddles and attention. 60 minute extended walks: For dogs with extra energy to burn, this extended walk lasting up to an hour, ensures they return home tired and happy. Two dogs maximum per walk. Each walk will be done only in your neighborhood for safety reasons. 5 minutes of the walk time will be used for getting your pet safely ready to go. Prior to departure, your pet’s water bowl will be refreshed if needed. With your permission, treats will be given to your pet. Feeding available upon request and will be subtracted from walk time. During heavy rain, excessive heat and humidity or freezing weather, walks, may be shortened and the remaining walk time will be spent indoors playing. A photo and/or text update will be sent after each walk.
