I adore all animals!

Pet care experience

i have extensive experience caring for animals. I spent 3 years as a dog trainer and 2 years as a dog walker/pet sitter. I am comfortable administering all kinds of medications, orally and subcutaneously. I have all kinds of free time, so my schedule is flexible. I believe animals need to feel safe and comfortable, especially when their parents are away, so I treat them as if they were my own. I have quite a bit of experience working with special needs dogs (high anxiety dogs, diabetic dogs, etc.). In the past two years I have worked on and mastered walking dogs through any situation (loud noises, other dogs, crowds of people, rain, etc.). I like to bring treats with to help the dog get through those situations.

Information Christina M. would like to know about your pet

I think it’s important to know how the dog will react to other dogs/people/squirrels,etc. not all dogs react the same way, and I like to be prepared. I’m comfortable with all breeds/sizes and with any temperament. I have worked with anxious dogs, so I’m comfortable working through those anxieties with the dogs as well.

A typical day

It all depends on the dog. For puppies and more rambunctious dogs I like to bring toys with on walks so that they get a little more exercise. For older dogs I enjoy walking them to parks for fields so they can laze around in the sun. I love playing learning games with dogs because I think it’s important for them to work their mind as well while they’re out and about.
