Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. As a mom, I’m already used to keeping a structured schedule, and I enjoy starting and ending my days with walks, feedings, and plenty of playtime. My kids and I love spending time outdoors, so including dogs in our activities—like walks around the neighborhood or playtime in the yard—comes naturally. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give pets consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and lots of love. Caring for animals is something I look forward to, not something I squeeze in—it’s a natural part of how I spend my days.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I follow their regular routines as closely as possible—feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddle time—so they feel at ease. My home is pet-friendly with plenty of space for play and relaxation, and I give each pet lots of love and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure their pet feels cared for and secure. I stick to the owner’s instructions, keep everything clean, and send regular updates with photos so you have peace of mind. Whether it’s daily walks, fresh food and water, administering medications, or just giving extra snuggles, I make sure every pet feels happy and loved while you’re away.

Information Christina M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know as much as possible about your pet ahead of time so I can give them the best care. Some of the things I like to ask about include: • Daily routine (feeding times, walks, play, bedtime) • Health needs (allergies, medications, or any medical conditions) • Behavior (how they do with kids, other pets, strangers, or new environments) • Comforts & preferences (favorite toys, activities, or special routines that help them feel at home) • House rules (couch/bed boundaries, treats, or training you’re working on) Knowing these details helps me make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, happy, and entertained! Depending on each dog’s energy level and personality, I enjoy going for walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch in the yard, or having fun with their favorite toys. For pups who love to socialize, I can take them on safe adventures to the park, and for more relaxed pets, I’m just as happy to spend time snuggling and giving belly rubs. I also make sure to mix in a little mental stimulation—like puzzle toys or simple training games—to keep their minds busy. Most importantly, I pay attention to what each pet enjoys most and tailor activities to make them feel comfortable, loved, and cared for.

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Christina! I’m 33 years old and a proud single mom of two wonderful kids. We’re a loving, active household that adores animals, and caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. That’s why I treat every dog like they’re my own—with patience, love, and plenty of playtime. Whether it’s long walks, cuddles on the couch, or keeping up with their routines, I make sure each pup feels safe, happy, and right at home. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive, I’d love to help care for your dog while you’re away!

Christina is so good with animals, and this would be such a good job for her to do. She enjoys playing with animals, and giving them the love they need.
