Certified, Caring & Ready for Fun!

Hey there, fellow dog lover! I’m the person your pup’s been hoping you’d find. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Think muddy paws, endless fetch, and the occasional epic game of “who can out-stubborn who.” I’ve owned dogs of every size, shape, and quirky personality, and I wouldn’t trade a single slobbery kiss for the world. Here’s what sets me apart: I’m certified in Animal First Aid through the Canadian Red Cross (safety first—always!). I also have hands-on experience in dog rehabilitation and training, so I’m the go-to for pups who need a little extra TLC or a gentle nudge in the right direction. Whether your dog is a high-energy ball chaser, a senior looking for some sunshine and slow strolls, or a shy rescue who needs patience and understanding, I’m here to make their day brighter (and give you total peace of mind).Let’s be honest, your dog deserves someone who’ll treat them like family. That’s exactly what I do. So if you’re looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do—and maybe even sneak them an extra treat or two then let’s chat! Ready for your pup’s next favorite human? Book with me, and let’s make some tails wag!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets during drop-in visits or walks, safety and trust are always my top priorities. Before each visit, I make sure I understand your instructions, your dog’s unique needs, and any special routines or quirks. During drop-ins, I do a quick safety check of your home such as making sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, and removing anything that could be hazardous to curious noses. I let the dops out for a much needed potty break and top up water bowls. On walks, I use sturdy, well-fitted leashes and only go to places you’re comfortable with, whether that’s a quiet neighborhood street or a stroll through a trail. I’m always alert to my surroundings, keeping an eye out for potential hazards like traffic or other animals. If your dog is nervous or reactive, I’ll choose the calmest routes and give them space to feel safe. I clean up after your pet (of course!), refresh water bowls, and send you updates so you know exactly how things are going. Most importantly, I treat your home and your dog with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every visit stress-free for both you and your pup, so you feel confident and your dog feels happy and secure while you’re away.

We absolutely love Christina! She’s watched Willow and Joey several times now, and they truly adore her—they start celebrating the second they see her car arrive. Christina is patient, kind, and uses great positive reinforcement techniques. Joey can be a shy dog, but Christina has a way of making her feel at ease. She has been a lifesaver for our family, and we never have to worry because we know they’re being cared for as if they were her own."

I have left my 18 month beagle with christina 4 times now. All I can say is she is awesome. She is loving to your dog, she is knowledgeable about the breed specifically she is watching. The first time she watched my dog. She was still a young puppy. When I picked her up 7 days later, christina had taught her to walk on leash without pulling. To drop something when they put it in their mouths. And to sit before crossing the street and you saying it’s okay to. I trust her with my baby more than my own family to be honest. The time and love she gives them is incredible. I will never take my little beagle to anyone else. She also provided feedback to me on my dogs behavior. I really appreciate that because now I know what has to be worked on with my dog. And christina also has knowledge on how to correct many behaviors my stubborn beagle has. In short if you’re looking for someone to care, love, and ensure your pet is safe and healthy. I would not go to anyone else. Thank you for all your help, support, and stays. There will be more booked for the summer. I would book people now before she is completely booked up, for summer.I would even change my vacation week just to have her care for my beagle. Again thanks and we will see you this summer

Before I care for your pet, I love to know all the details that make them unique! Anything you can share about their likes, dislikes, routines, or quirks helps me give them the best possible care. It’s especially important for me to know about any medical needs, allergies, or medications, as well as how they feel about other animals and new people. If your dog has any special triggers, favorite toys, or specific walking routes, let me know! The more I learn about your pup, the more comfortable and happy I can make their time with me.
