Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, responsible animal lover
I am 42 years old, married, and a stay-at-home-mom of two beautiful children: an 11 year old boy and a 15 year old girl. We currently have a border collie service dog, a catahoula leopard dog, a great pyrenees who is a service dog in training, and a border collie mix. We also have 3 cats, a ball python, and a hedgehog. We've also had horses, small animals of various types, and chickens in the past. As you can see, we are all in love with animals in this house, and, for me, animals are my passion. I have a BS in Animal Science/Equine Science, and over twenty years of experience in the animal care industry. I want my clients to feel like they are leaving their fur-babies in the best possible hands. Not only will your pets be cared for physically, but also emotionally. When carrying for your fur baby(s), I strive to keep your pet(s)' routines as close to normal as possible. Therefore, if your dog sleeps in a kennel, they will sleep in a kennel, if he sleeps in your bed, that's where (s)he'll sleep here. As for our fur babies: Our Catahoula, Finn, was a rescue off the streets when he was 4 months old. He's about 8 Years old now, and still a playful boy! He's big, and a complete love bug. Finn has never met an animal or person he didn't like. Evie is my service dog (allergy alert). She is a 5 year old border collie. She's very well mannered, especially in public, but can be sky with new people. She loves to play. She loves all other dogs, unless they are aggressive towards her. Because of her, it is IMPERATIVE that your dog is absolutely not dog aggressive at all. Bella is a small 1.5 year old border collie, husky, whatever else (lol) mix. She has energy for days, and is a huge lover. Lastly is my gentle giant Anakin. He is a 12 month old Great Pyrenees, about 90 lbs, and my service dog in training. He is the most laid back dog I've met. He loves to play with my friends' 6 lb min-pin, and it's absolutely adorable! He will NOT be coming to house sitting jobs with me.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Christina and per partner had great communication, a calm energy, and provided updates. My dog is on the anxious side, but he seemed to settle in well at their place. Appreciate them taking care of my pup!
I would definitely use Christina again she was great and her family was great the animals were very happy I was very satisfied
Christina was super caring and friendly. Our dog was loved on like their own and we would definitely ask them to sit our dog again.
Christina and her family were the absolute BEST. If you’re a doggy mom like me (you dog is your child) then I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. I was crying before I even made it to the door because I've had my dog since she was 2 months old and she’s never been away from me for long periods of time. She knew how nervous I was about leaving her and she did everything she could to make sure I felt ok with my baby being there. I hadn’t even made it home (I like like 6 minutes away and of course I was balling for about 2 of those minutes) and she was already sending me pictures of her having a good time with the other animals and her kids. Her son fell in love with my baby girl and it just really makes me happy to know that a complete stranger treated my puppers with such love and were so caring. After the first day I was no longer nervous about her being gone anymore. Though I really missed her, I knew she was safe and having fun. I’ll definitely be booking again. My dog has definitely found her home away from home.
Christina did a wonderful job caring for my fur babies. I will book her again next time we go on a family trip.
Christina is a very sweet and caring sitter. She took care of my cats for two weeks and kept me updated every visit. She is very honest and I would recommend her for future clients.

Schedule
I'm a stay at home mom, however, both of my children currently attend school full time. Therefore, I will be able to devote most of my day to pet care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I always have your pet securely on a leash before opening the door when walking your dog. If letting your dog outside for a potty break in your yard, your dog will always be in my line if site (even if fully fenced).
Pets
A typical day
We play, cuddle, occasionally go for walks in the neighborhood, and maybe to a nearby park. We do have a huge backyard for the area. Lots of room to run.
