Rescue Volunteer, HOME FULL TIME

Pet care experience

Hey there, my name is Christina! I am a long time pet owner, and I have volunteered through Tri-County Animal Rescue for over four years. Through this experience I have worked with various breeds as well as pets with different temperaments. I am very comfortable with any breed, big or small. I am also very comfortable taking care of cats, or any other species of pet. I am very active and typically hike, run, or bike daily, and I am more than happy to bring your dog along with me! Your beloved pet will get tons of excercise with me, which will decrease any anxiety levels, and tire them out for a good night’s sleep! They will also receive ample playtime my two dogs, and have lots of room to run around in my large secure fenced in backyard. Your pet will be well taken care of, doted on, & excercised to their heart’s content. I am home full time because I work from home, so your pet will never be put in their kennel or left for any amount of time. If you prefer your dog to sleep in a kennel at night, I will be more than happy to accommodate that, although they are more than welcome to sleep on my bed or with my dogs. I have two dogs, one is a 6 year old large gentle giant who is very calm, named Sasha. She is a small Great Pyrenees, and is very friendly and good at making new doggy guests feel at home! I have a small chihuahua who is equally as friendly, and both of them do very well with other dogs as well as cats, with no aggressive tendencies whatsoever. I also have a small, friendly indoor cat - so any pet that will stay with us needs to be cat friendly, or atleast non-aggressive towards cats. Training method such as crate training and any other forms of obedience training can be continued during their stay with me, as well as medication administration. As an experienced pet owner, I understand the worries that come with leaving your loved one with someone else. You can rest assured they are in good hands with me. I offer meet and greets before you schedule your booking so that you can meet me and verify if you feel comfortable, and I am always available via message to answer any questions. I send daily pictures and updates multiple times a day during the duration of your pet’s stay with me, and keep you up to date on all the fun your dog is having!

Took pictures during the drop-in visit of my cat Mochi and gave me updates. Seems like she took great care of her!

Christina took excellent care of my dog Renee. She was very attentive, asked questions to make sure she was feeding her properly, and was super nice. She took Renee on multiple walks through the day and she was a tired puppy when I brought her home, which is what I like to see. Will definitely use Christina again!

Midas had a great time with Christina! He went hiking and got to sleep in the bed with her! He was very playful and happy when I picked him up and Christina was very flexible with the drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend her and will use her again!
