Pet care experience
*Returning clients: please message me if calendar shows unavailable* I am a full time professional petsitter servicing the Northern Virginia area and have been with Rover since Jan 2020. I have volunteered with dog rescues since the age of 14, handling their long term cases and have experience caring for dogs in a variety of situations including animal shelters, doggy day cares, primary care veterinary hospitals as well as working nights at an emergency veterinary hospital as a vet tech assistant. I'm now offering canine pack hikes as a new service; please ask about availability and pricing. I offer flexible options with personalized professional care and welcome you to discuss your pet needs with me. Rest assured, your babies will receive the highest quality care by treating them as if they were my own. Currently serving clients in Stafford, Prince William, Fairfax and Arlington counties. • Bully and large breed friendly • Senior/Medical/Anxiety experienced, specializing in aggressive/anxious/hyper dogs • CPR and First Aid Certified • Fear Free Certified Professional • Independently state licensed and privately insured; owner operated • Extensive experience with TS clearance, government and executive clients/homes • Visits and walks are based on individual needs and weather advisories, up to four hours (please ask about canine pack hikes) • Able to provide separate dedicated care for different animals for any safety and personality concerns For any requests, please send your address along with your initial request as Rover does not provide the address until the booking has been confirmed. Bookings will be confirmed once the initial meet and greet has been conducted and all parties feel comfortable moving forward. Meet and greets will be required to take place at your home in order to go over your pet's daily routine along with reviewing the location of their belongings and anything else that is needed (watering plants, collecting mail, etc) for extended leave. Please let me know how often you would like to have updates while you're away as well.

Reviews
Christina made my dog and I comfortable. That's not always easy.
Christina was great with both of our pets and went above and beyond to give our dog some entertainment and exercise. Our dog can be anxious around new people and she was great at making him feel comfortable.
Christina was great house sitting with our dog Daisy. Good communication and very reliable.
Christina is a true animal whisperer. She does an amazing job with our 3 dogs. We highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment
I'm a big believer in keeping dogs as close to their usual routine as possible in order to keep them relaxed while you're away. With that in mind, I try to find what really gets them going so that I can tire them out and help rid some of that energy. Many of my clients are happy to find their pups not only safe and happy when they come back home but also tired out like they were on their own vacation!
Information Christina H. would like to know about your pet
It is helpful to have a general idea of what their temperament is. Are there any fears that they have as well as what are some things that they really enjoy. Do they have a history of eating things they shouldn't (i.e. socks, remote controls, rocks, etc)?
A typical day
I'm an avid believer in trying out different routes and mixing it up. Depending on the allotted time we will eventually exhaust every possible route available! I also send funny/cute updates of your pup after the walk with some pictures and a description. If you ever wanted your pupper to have their own social media coordinator this is as close as you'd get!!

Availability
I petsit full time! My schedule is fairly flexible so I can move my routine visits to an extent to cover any particular time frames that may be needed for your pet.
