They’re not dogs, they’re family!

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of dogs my entire life from friends and family pets to my own. I’m that person who stops anyone who has a dog so I can pet them — I also have a habit of speaking to them as if they’re human. 😂 I love animals dearly and will care for your babies as if they were my own. Overnight boarding works for me because I am a Stay at Home Mother to two wonderful kids. They’re 4 and 6 years old and both love animals and fully understand that we treat animals with respect and to be gentle with them. As for walks/drop ins, the best times would be early morning until 2:00PM. Once I pick up the kids from school, I would be able to work 4:30PM-9PM. I will always try to accommodate days and times for you! We take our dog out up to 4 times/day and sometimes she just hangs out in our backyard. Some walks are longer than others. I offer 30 min, 45 min, and 60 min walks — within the timeframe stated above. Our first dog ever sadly passed away a few years ago but we still have our other ”baby” living. She is a 11 year old King Charles Cavalier and she definitely lives up to the royalty name for her breed! We love to cuddle, lounge around the house and play with the many toys we have, and of course going out on walks. Your furry loved one will join our family in any outing or activity that allow pets. If not, they will never be left alone for more than 2-3 hours. As a Mother and before motherhood, I have always been highly aware of my surroundings. I never approach other dogs/animals unless I confirm with the owner that it’s okay and I see myself how your loved one is reacting. Our home is our/your dogs home as well and is allowed to be anywhere in our home. We are a crate-free family and we absolutely do not accept aggressive behavior towards your loved ones, such as yanking or spanking. We practice gentle parenting with our children and that is the same for our pets. They will receive respect, patience, and lots of love. Looking forward to meeting you and your pups!!

If I could give more than 5 stars for Christina I would. Great communicator, committed and very sweet with my Shitzhu Reagan and black kitty Goblin. She sent pictures, and went above and beyond to keep them fed and happy. Highly recommend!! God Bless providers like her in this service.

Christina just started walking my dogs this week and what a positive experience! The pups love her and she was so great with them right off the bat. She loving and kind to them, you can see how much she loves dogs. She was super easy to schedule with and was so accommodating. She is lovely, hoping to use her again!

Our Chloe has diabetes so I am adept to administering medication. We can handle most temperaments but would prefer a cuddly type of dog — nonaggressive or possessive. Lots of love, the Gliatta/Vastola Family
