Pet care experience

Missing my pets, Here to help yours

Hi! I’m an animal lover with over five years of experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and even the occasional exotic pet (most recently, an axolotl!). I have two dogs and a cat of my own, though they’re currently living out of state—so I’m really missing the daily joy of having pets around. I'm a responsible and reliable professional with a full-time job (8 AM – 4 PM), so I’m available for care in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m experienced with senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing extra care for animals with specific needs. I always aim to follow your instructions closely and make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, playtime, or special care—I'm here to help and treat your pet like family.

Minnie had another great visit with Christina! Thanks again for putting our mind at ease while we were away. She kept in touch and shared pictures and videos of Minnie while we were gone. Thanks again!

Christina helped care for our cat for the last few years whenever we went on a trip. She is extremely trustworthy and always follows all instructions - even silly ones like asking her to text us daily pics of our cat! She gladly helps out with any extra duties. She is a pet-owner and enjoys animals so our cat was well-loved and cared for and even looked for Christina for a couple of days after, every time we came back. I highly recommend her for any pet-sitting jobs!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I’m a full-time professional with a work schedule from 8 AM to 4 PM, which means I’m available for pet care in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, check-ins, walks, or cuddle time outside of those work hours. If you're planning a trip or need consistent care during non-work hours, I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to help.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I create a calm, nurturing environment where animals feel secure, respected, and loved. In your home, I follow your routines closely and maintain a clean, low-stress environment so your pet feels safe while you're away. I value building trust—with both pets and their people—so I always communicate clearly and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. While my home does not have a fenced-in yard, your dog will get plenty of leashed walks, fresh air, and attention. I make sure they get the exercise, care, and affection they need, all while staying safe and secure. Your pet’s well-being is everything to me, and I care for them as if they were my own.

Pets

A typical day

I always make sure pets feel loved, seen, and cared for—just like they would with their own family. Whether that means offering a favorite treat, giving plenty of pets and affection, or engaging in fun playtime, I tailor my care to what each pet enjoys most. Every animal is different, and I take the time to build trust, make them feel comfortable, and give them the attention they deserve.

Before caring for your pet, I like to gather a few key details to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for exactly the way you would want. Here are a few things I like to ask: Are there any special requests or routines? Pets often thrive with consistency. Let me know about favorite toys, daily habits, bedtime routines, or any quirks I should be aware of—whether it's hiding during storms or needing a special blanket at night. Does your pet require any medications? If so, I’ll need to know the medication name, dosage, timing, and how it’s typically administered (pill pocket, mixed in food, etc.). I'm experienced with administering a variety of medications and happy to follow your vet’s instructions carefully. Are there any special dietary needs or feeding instructions? Whether your pet is on a prescription diet, needs food prepared a certain way, or has allergies or sensitivities, I’ll make sure meals are handled exactly as you do. How does your pet do on walks or around other animals? Understanding your pet’s behavior outside the home helps me keep them safe—especially if they’re reactive, timid, or need extra space from other dogs. Is your pet crate-trained, allowed on furniture, or used to being home alone? Every home is different, and I want to follow your house rules and honor what your pet is used to. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can ensure your pet stays happy and healthy while you're away.
