I’m currently a medical student with a very flexible schedule, and am home most of the day. When I do have class, it’s for no more than 3 hours at a time, maybe once or twice a week, and then I spend the rest of the day studying from home. So I have ample time to spend with your pet! I have had family pets all my life, so now that I’ve had to leave my cat and dog because I moved out of state for school, I am missing having a fuzzy best friend to hang out and be active with! Rest assured I will treat your pet with all the love I would treat my own!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pup just like they’re my own and love to lay around and snuggle but also enjoy going on nice long walks. There are a few parks within walking distance and lots of green tree-lined side streets we can stroll through. I want your pet to be as comfortable as possible in my home and will accommodate them any way I can!

Information Christina L. would like to know about your pet

I live in a small apartment building so I’d like to know if your dog will bark when I step out, what their triggers are, how to best calm them down, and if they are okay with other dogs/people

A typical day

I love going for long walks if your pup is up for it and finding new parks to explore. I prefer getting away from the concrete and finding green spaces where your dog can sniff, play, roll around, and just have a good time! I also love a good snuggle and nap (probably my favorite thing ever) so if your dog is up for it, I will wrap them up in a blanket and give them all the cuddles!!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a beagle and a dachshund, so small breed dogs, but have ample experience sitting and caring for big, medium, and small pups! I have some experience training from training my own puppies, but over the last few years have shifted into providing the extra love and care needed for my family’s senior dogs. I love taking them for long scenic walks, going on adventures, snuggling, and giving them all the love they deserve!

Christina was an amazing caretaker to Mochi! She was so kind and communicative, and I so appreciated the updates and photos she sent while we were away for the weekend. Would absolutely recommend Christina for your pet care needs! Thanks so much Christina!

2nd time having Christina watch my dog and the experience was just as great as the first! Very clean home, very friendly, and she seems to take a genuine interest in your pet that makes it a little easier to leave them behind for a few days. Will definitely be booking Christina again in the future!
