Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional animal lover
Hi, I’m Christina — and caring for animals has been a part of my life for over 30 years. My background includes working with dogs in humane societies, dog daycares, and foster programs, along with years of hands-on, in-home pet care. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, small breeds, and large breeds, and I am very comfortable giving medications and supporting pets with special needs or routines. I also have extensive experience with cats — including caring for my own two special-needs kitties — and I understand how important calm handling and consistency are, especially for sensitive or medically fragile pets. In addition, I have worked with small exotic and pocket-type animals and understand how different their care and stress needs can be. What truly sets my care apart is my ability to read and respond to an animal’s body language and cues. Dogs and cats are constantly communicating with us, and I pay close attention to posture, movement, energy, and behavior so I can adjust my approach and keep each pet feeling safe and understood. I’m very detail-oriented and take pride in following instructions exactly — feeding schedules, medications, special needs, routines, and household preferences are always respected. For dogs who enjoy activity, I love providing structured enrichment such as interactive and reward-based toys to help reduce anxiety and boredom. When appropriate and approved by owners, I also enjoy taking dogs to the dog park or for stimulating outings that match their comfort level and personality. Whether your pet is young, senior, shy, energetic, or medically sensitive, my goal is always the same: to provide calm, reliable, and truly attentive care — the kind of care I would want for my own animals. Your pets are treated like family while they’re with me.

Safety, trust & environment
I do prefer to watch your pets at your home. It is less stressful for your pets when they are at home while you are away.
Ratings and reviews

Christina was a fantastic sitter to our aging dog and guinea pigs! Sue was very attentive and reliable. She communicated well with visit updates and truly bonded with our pets, especially our dog. Definitely will use her services again!

Leo loved Christina! She was kind, gentle, and professional. Would definitely book again and recommend!
Christina undoubtfully cares about dogs, and her position in working with them. She possesses the patience, and attention to detain in order to determine each individual dogs needs, likes and dislikes. Her heart allows for her to easily form connections with each dog, when some may be more difficult than others.

Schedule
I used to work for a few doggy daycare recently, but nowadays, I pet sit animals on a full-time basis. I enjoy being around animals. It is such a pleasure for me.
