Availability

I’m fortunate to work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to be fully present with your pets throughout the day. My two Golden Retrievers, Toby (born August 2020) and Penny Mae (born December 2021), are my daily "coworkers" and bring endless joy to our household. They adore meeting new dogs and can’t wait to welcome your pups into our family. In addition to Toby and Penny, I also have two rescue cats who primarily stay in my daughter’s room. Your pups likely won’t interact with the cats unless they become frequent guests in our Camelback East bungalow, as the cats tend to take some time to build trust. As for my “big girl job,” I’m a Program Manager in the insurance industry, working with a team based on the East Coast. This means I’m an early riser, and my schedule is flexible throughout the day. As an individual contributor, I have the freedom to step away from work as needed to give your pets the attention they deserve. This flexibility makes me the ideal remote pet sitter, ensuring your pets receive consistent care, companionship, and supervision while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

I am committed to providing a safe, secure, and enjoyable environment for your pets during their stay. My home is nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac, offering a peaceful and low-traffic location. I have a spacious, fully enclosed grassy yard where your pups will have plenty of room to run, play, and explore. For added flexibility, my backyard includes a smaller gated area, ideal for accommodating dogs of varying sizes. This ensures that smaller dogs can have their own secure space while still being part of the outdoor fun. My dogs spend most of the day inside with me, and they have established a natural routine for potty breaks, letting me know when it's time to head outside. I'm happy to adjust the indoor/outdoor schedule to meet the specific needs of your pups, whether they prefer more time inside or outside. Rest assured, I prioritize both comfort and safety to ensure your pets feel at home while they stay with me!

A typical day

As a remote worker with a flexible schedule, I have the perfect balance of time and energy to dedicate to your pet's needs and well-being. Being home all day means I have plenty of opportunities to get outside and keep your pup active and engaged. Whether it's a trip to the local dog park for some socialization and play, an exciting frisbee session in our spacious, lush backyard, or a leisurely stroll through my scenic neighborhood, your furry friend will have plenty of adventures. I’m committed to ensuring that your pet has a fun and fulfilling stay, with a mix of mental stimulation, physical activity, and plenty of love and attention. From interactive games to exploring new sights and smells, your pup will be in for a wonderful time, enjoying both structured and spontaneous outdoor activities tailored to their needs and energy level.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Christina – Your Pet’s New Best Friend! As a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for dogs, I understand how important it is to find a trusted, loving sitter for your pets. I’ve had the joy of owning and caring for dogs of all breeds and ages, from playful puppies to loving senior dogs. I’m also fortunate to work from home full-time, which allows me to offer your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while you’re away. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly cul-de-sac with a large, gated yard, perfect for dogs to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I also have a smaller fenced area for smaller dogs who might need their own space while still being part of the fun. Your pets will feel at home here, with plenty of room for activities, playtime, and relaxation. I’m the proud pet parent of two Golden Retrievers, Toby (4) and Penny Mae (3), who are always excited to meet new friends! They’re both friendly and well-socialized with other dogs, and they’ll happily welcome your pup(s) into our home. I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a daily walk, outdoor play, or snuggle time indoors, I offer personalized care to fit your pets’ needs. I can adapt to any special routines, dietary restrictions, or medical needs your pets may have, and I’m experienced with senior dogs and puppies alike. When you book with me, you’ll get regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in great hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing the care and attention they deserve! Let's Chat! If you're looking for a reliable, loving sitter who will treat your pets like family, feel free to reach out. I’d love to learn more about your pets and how I can help provide a stress-free experience while you’re away.

I’ve booked with Christina multiple times now, and she’s been consistently amazing with my dogs every time! They’re always well cared for and I feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands when I’m away. I really appreciate the reliability and care she provides. Highly recommend her and I’ll definitely continue booking with her!
