Highlights
Pet care experience
Making tails wag across DC 🐶
Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I grew up around dogs and other animals, and caring for them has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I love getting outside for walks, playing fetch, and giving plenty of attention and affection. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to treat every dog like they’re part of my own family.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Christina was very accommodating of my schedule and took great care of Loki! I received daily updates and communication was great
Christina took such good care of my Kofi! 🫶🏾 I could tell he had a good time during the two night stay by the pics she sent and how he engaged with her when I picked him up. Christina was very communicative, and personable yet professional. I’m happy to have found her and feel comfortable booking with her again for future business travel.
Christina was excellent!! She took such great care of my anxious boy and sent lots of photos and updates.
so accommodating, communicative, just overall awesome ! def will reach out again in the future !!!
Christina was amazing taking care of my anxious dachshund, Levi! She sent regular updates, giving my peace of mind while I was out of the country, and was flexible when my flight back into DC kept getting delayed. I trust her to take care of my dog again.
Wow, we were so lucky to find Christina available on short notice to house sit our timid kitty, Georgia. We got lots of updates and we’re so relieved to see Christina win over Georgia and make her feel comfortable and confident, something that is tough to do with such a shy and scared kitty. We got updates, photos and videos and extra help watering our yard during this heat wave. We will definitely use Christina again!

Schedule
I work a typical 9–5 job, but pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I’m available for morning visits before work, evening walks and drop-ins after work, and have much more flexibility on weekends. As someone who has grown up around animals my entire life, I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with pets and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for when their owners can’t be there.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in Capitol Hill, which is a great neighborhood for pets! There are plenty of sidewalks, parks, and pet-friendly areas nearby for safe and enjoyable walks. My apartment is spacious and comfortable, giving pets room to relax and feel at home. We also have a dog park right at my apartment building, which is perfect for dogs who enjoy getting some extra exercise and socialization. Whether your pet prefers adventure or lounging around, they’ll have a safe, loving environment while in my care.
A typical day
I love spending quality time with pets and tailoring activities to their personality. We might explore Capitol Hill on a long sniff walk, play fetch at the dog park in my building, enjoy puzzle toys and treats, or relax with plenty of cuddles and belly rubs. For cats, I enjoy interactive play, treat hunts, brushing, and giving them the attention they deserve. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can see all the fun we’re having!

- Please let me know about your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, and any behaviors or quirks I should be aware of. I want to make sure your pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible while in my care. I also appreciate knowing what helps them feel safe, whether that’s a favorite toy, bed, or daily routine. My goal is to provide a loving, stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
