Dog Mom of 2

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about 15 years. I absolutely love playing with them and giving them all of the love and attention I can! I currently have 2 dogs in my own home who are rescues and they have completed my heart. Your pets will be in the best hands with me! I usually do a face to face meet & greet before the initial visit, but due to the increasing gas prices, it’s making it more difficult to do that. However, I can definitely Video call (Google Duo or FaceTime) so we can “meet.” If you aren’t comfortable with that and prefer a face to face meeting, please let me know! In my home, I have 2 loving and playful fur babies, a 2 year old and 18 month old. My fur babies are able to be crated if necessary. My children are very gentle with animals. Our fur babies will play together, go for walks, and we have a dog park right down the street!

Run for the hills! Unless you want to be lied to and have your pet neglected, that is. Booked Christina to drop in and check on our cat while we were out of town. On the second day, I messaged her at the time of check-in to ask how our cat was doing. Since she wasn’t responding, I looked at our home camera. She wasn’t there. I kept it on for the entire 30 mins the visit was supposed to last, but she never showed up. Then, she texted me that the cat was doing great and eating. She even texted a picture! Which I assume she took the night before. In reality, the food bowl was empty and my poor guy was just curled up on the couch and hadn’t moved an inch. Our housekeeper came per my request and they confirmed he had no food left. Christina arrived that evening for the second drop off. She fed him and spent the rest of the time on her phone. Didn’t play with him or brush him as I had asked. Then she left the house 10 mins early, yet cleverly clocked out on the app at the right time. At this point, I’m feeling completely cheated. Next day, she’s a no show. Cat is again out of food. I text her. I call her. No reply. I’ve finally had enough and cancel. She messages shortly after saying her daughter had been in the ER since that morning and was just discharged. I understand emergencies happen, but the previous lies and behavior make me doubt this was true. And even if it was, the inability to communicate is a big red flag, as is the lack of integrity, the lying about being there, and the cutting visits short just because they think you’re an idiot who won’t ever know. This is an animal that’s relying on the sitter for food and water, not a rock. Thank goodness my cat has no medication that needs to be administered or other special needs! I would never ever trust her with our pet again, and neither should anyone else.

Great treatment for our fur baby. Will definitely utilize her service again. Our Brucey loved her visits to play and cuddle.

Very happy with the services provided by Christina. It makes it so much easier leaving on trips knowing that our cat will be receiving professional care.

Christina was awesome! Very sweet and responsive to messages. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our kitty was in good hands. Will definitely book her again!

Our family is a lover of all animals. When they are with me, I will treat them like my own family. They are in wonderful hands and you can expect frequent communication & updates on your fur babies. Please see my reviews from prior clients! :)

Information Christina M. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, but I cannot board dogs with aggressive behavior towards other dogs and/or children. Please tell me about a typical day with your fur baby. What time are they usually fed? Walked? Any medication? Any special needs? House trained? Crated? Please bring anything that will make your pet feel more at home and the most comfortable such as toys, bed, blanket, etc.

A typical day

While your fur baby stays with me, they will be treated like family & like one of our own. We will play fetch, go on walks, and I will give all the cuddles and love in the world! We can go to the dog park to get out some of that energy, or we can just relax if your dog is more laid back and doesn’t need to get their energy out.
