The love of a pet is like no other
Pet care experience
For as long as I can remember I have had pets! I love all animals and currently have a large mutt, Havanese and Persian cat. I am a full time teacher but love watching animals all year. My pet sitting business fulfills me and brings me such joy. I have several repeat customers and love getting to know families and their pets. I was a volunteer with the SOS cat rescue until they closed. While there I helped maintain care for the cats that were waiting for their forever families. Although I don't mind cleaning litter and cages my favorite part is playing with the kitties. I have experience administering medicine including pills, drops and insulin injections. I am responsible, loving and honest. I will treat your pet like he/she is my own during the time you are away. I love taking photos of my clients and trying to capture their personalities and sending updates to help pet parents feel more at ease while away. I will also bring in mail, garbage cans and water plants if needed. I follow exactly what pet parents want me to do. It is important to me that I keep the pet's routine as much as possible.
Reviews
Christina is amazing? She stopped by to meet the cats and you could tell she had genuine interest in taking great care of them. And she did. Each visit had details of their time and full of pictures. She made sure to split enough time between 2 time a day visits without it being too long…perfect! Our furry friends were in great hands.
Fantastic! Sent lots of pictures, and my cats were well taken care of. Would definitely recommend!!
10 Stars for Christina! Good communication, great pictures and my boys love her! No worries all weekend because my boys were in good hands with Christina! Will definitely use her again :)
Christina is incredible! Responsive right from the start! Was always on time and attentive with our little guy. You just know when a person is an animal lover and that is Christina! Gave us the feeling of comfort while we were away that our small members of our family were in great hands. Could not have been more satisfied!

I do not care for pets in my home due to having two dogs and a cat of my own. I am happy to help out in your home.
Information Christina L. would like to know about your pet
I would want to know if the pet has any health issues that I should be aware of so I can provide appropriate care but also keep my eye out for any alarming behaviors or changes. I would also like to know (for dogs) how they are with other people and other animals.
A typical day
I will play whatever games pets prefer. I usually take out toys from a pet's bin and play fetch or tug-o-war. I've had cat clients that like being brushed and most love their wand toys. Some clients like to have the tv on for a bit or the radio. Playing fetch outside in a fenced in area is also a dog favorite. I don't mind doing a complimentary walk near the pet's home during drop in visits.

Availability
From March until the beginning of July I am accepting CAT jobs only, up to twice a day. With my current teaching schedule I cannot accept jobs that require three visits in a day. Thank you for understanding. Cat visits: M-F-6:30-7:00 am or usually from 4:00 pm-9:00 pm. Saturday and Sunday thirty minutes slots between 9:00 am -9:00 pm The sooner you book for summer the better! On most days in the summer I can do up to three visits a day. Please message me if you don't see availability. I will try to work around my schedule if possible. *I will occasionally travel outside my distance limits for cat jobs that are near my teaching job
