Pet care experience

Hello :) My name is Christina and I have lived with and loved animals my whole life. I have a deep connection with all animals and am also a Master Reiki practitioner for animals as well as people. I have cared for many furry friends throughout the years and continue to work with clients in a variety of ways. As well as providing all the practical care, attention and loving nurturing that your pet needs, I am also highly intuitive, which can greatly help me support your loved one with separation anxiety, rescues in adjusting to feeling safe, as well as seniors and those with special needs. I am available to come sit in your home and find that most animals are most comfortable at home. I have had several rescue dogs and am familiar with some of the challenges that come with separation anxiety, triggers and general fearfulness of others. I am very open to working with you and your dog and helping them adjust and adapt to a happy life if they need extra support.

Christina was a fabulous dog sitter. She is incredibly responsive and easy to work with and very clearly knows how to read and navigate dogs with some quirks and somewhat tough behavioural challenges. When we came home our pup was well exercised, and seemed to be really chilled out and happy. We would 100% suggest Christina to others. Thanks for everything Christina!

I have used Christina to watch my dog for about a year on several occasions in my home. She is the most loving, responsible, dependable care for my dog I could hope for. The dogs get lots of exercise and attention. Further my home is always kept in good care and is as I left it when I come home. I know how loved she is by the way the dog greets her when she sees Christina again. I highly recommend her! Amy West Vancouver, BC

I am a warm, loving, open and positive person! I believe in positive reinforcement and always acknowledging the pups for jobs well done :) I am always happy to send photo updates and messages so you always know your loved one is safe and happy. I love to go on walks and can take them as often as they need when staying with them. Alternatively, if your pet is a senior, or has special needs, I can provide a calm and loving healing space for them. Just let me know what your needs are and we can make it work!

Information Christina l. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what your special pup loves to do! Do they have a favourite ball or stuffed animal? Do they enjoy meeting other dogs on their walks or would they rather stay focused on a scent? I understand that not all dogs like to visit with other dogs and am comfortable keeping them to the side and away from others if necessary. *Please let me know if there are any special dietary needs or medicines your pup needs. I am happy to ensure they are well taken of. It is also important for me to know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs physically, emotionally or behaviourally. I am highly intuitive and can pick up on most of their cues, but contextual information helps me know that I am interpreting them correctly. I have had several rescue dogs and am familiar with some of the challenges that come with separation anxiety and general fearfulness of others. I am very open to working with you and your dog and helping them adjust and adapt to a happy life if they need extra support. I have also nurtured and taken care of senior dogs and have lived with multiple animals in the same home very peacefully at different times.

A typical day

I typically take the pups on 2 walks per day / as needed and as many pee breaks as necessary. In the home your loved one will always have someone to be close to. I love to spend quality time with them, scratches, pets and giving gentle pet massages - especially for senior dogs with stiff joints or injured dogs who need extra support.

I am a writer and work from home so I am always around and able to be present and available for walks throughout the day! I am able to take my work with me for stays in your home and will spend a lot of time with your pets during my stay. I am very tidy and will always respectfully leave your home the way I found it. I love to be in nature and can take your pups on trail adventures, the dog park and beaches if you wish. All adventures are followed by snuggles! You can rest assured that your animals won't be left alone for long periods and that I will take very good care of your loved one(s).
