Tail-Wagging Fun with My Family

Pet care experience

In the world of pet care, there's a distinctive touch that sets me apart from the rest - a blend of passion, experience, and a genuine love for dogs and cats. With a decade of cat-sitting expertise and a lifetime of canine companionship, my journey as a pet caregiver is a testament to the unique qualities that make me your ideal choice for four-legged friend care. Unparalleled Experience: My pet care journey began as a child, walking dogs for neighbors, and nurturing my family's beloved senior dog. This early exposure to canine companionship instilled a deep understanding of the diverse needs of dogs, from energetic pups to wise seniors. Puppy Training Specialist: Having raised two vibrant puppies of my own, aged 10 months and 3 years, I understand the exhilaration and challenges that come with young dogs. My experience includes puppy training, helping them develop essential obedience skills, socialization, and even housebreaking. Your pup's development and well-being are my top priorities. Senior Dog Whisperer: Growing up with a senior dog under my care honed my ability to provide tender, specialized attention to our older furry friends. I'm attuned to the unique care requirements of senior dogs, including administering medication and ensuring their comfort and mobility. Cat Whisperer Extraordinaire: Over the past decade, I've had the privilege of being a trusted cat sitter for numerous families. Cats hold a special place in my heart, and I'm well-versed in catering to their independent nature while ensuring they feel safe, secure, and loved in your absence. Individualized Care: I believe in tailoring my care to each pet's unique personality and needs. Whether it's a rambunctious play session, a leisurely stroll, or simply providing companionship, I adapt to what your furry family members require. Safety First: Your pets' well-being is my top priority. I take every precaution to ensure their safety during walks and playtime, with a keen eye on any potential hazards. Reliability and Trustworthiness: You can count on me to be punctual, responsible, and committed to your pets. I understand the trust you place in a pet sitter, and I take that responsibility seriously. When you choose me as your pet caregiver, you're not just hiring a sitter – you're welcoming a devoted companion for your beloved animals. From puppy training to senior dog serenity and the finicky whims of feline friends, I'm here to provide the highest level of care and attention, giving you peace of mind knowing your pets are in loving, capable hands. Your pets aren't just animals; they're cherished members of your family, and they deserve nothing less than the best.

Christina was a great sitter for this helicopter cat mom. She was detailed and sent photos, reached out with a question and gave them lots of play time. Thank you for taking care of my friendly and sensitive cats!

Christina is very professional, has a great space for the dogs and kept us updated on Gingers eating & sleeping habits. We are very happy and by looking at all the pictures that were taken I think k Ginger had a great time too. Thanks for a great experience.

Christina went above and beyond for us! She was able to help us out last minute, and then while we were gone we had an unexpected humongous package delivered, and she brought it inside for us! She took great care of our cat! Thank you Christina!

Information Christina N. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know if your pets have any quirks or anything that triggers them, especially when they are outdoors. Do they pull on the leash? Do they like to chase birds, squirrels, rabbits, etc.? Are they friendly towards strangers and other dogs we pass by? These are important for me to know ahead of time to keep your pups and others safe. I also like to know if they tend to resource guard. That way, I can keep your dog separate during meal time so they can enjoy their meal peacefully. Lastly, how do they do at night? Is there anything I can do to ensure they get restful sleep?

A typical day

We'll usually get in at least two walks per day -- one before breakfast and one before dinner. Throughout the day, my high-energy pups will wrestling, tug, and chase with yours all day long. I have plenty of enrichment puzzles, toys, and chews to share. We have a fenced yard so I let the dogs out 30 min to 1 hour per day to stretch, smell, and play.

I currently work full-time but have the flexibility of working from home. I will have plenty of time to walk your pet, play with them, give them potty breaks, feed them, and snuggle with them. I also have three housemates so someone is always home.
