Pet care experience
Animals speak to those who listen..
Hello, my name is Christina. I am truly a lover of animals, and have been since I was a child. I have grown up with a range of different animal companions including: dogs, guinea pigs, birds and fish. You know that person you see on the bench surrounded by pigeons because they keep breaking off pieces of their lunch to give to them? That's me! Or, that person you always see feeding the same stray cats that live in your local area? Also, me! I also happen to be a very strong advocate for the rights and well being of ALL animals and it breaks my heart to see any treated unkindly or unfairly. Work Experience: I have extensive experience working with animals. I have been volunteering at animal shelters since I was a preteen, and later went on to becoming employed as an Animal Caretaker in my adult years at ASPCA. I have worked with a variety of animals from cats and dogs to guinea pigs, turtles, and even goats. It was a very demanding job, to put it lightly. Though, most people would assume otherwise when it comes to working with animals. But, due to my experience, I know exactly how much effort and work goes into actually properly caring for an animal and catering to its distinctive needs. I was also the owner of a small dog walking/pet sitting business outside of Rover, which I did for 3 years. Lastly, I would like to mention that I am a very detail oriented person, and a bit of a perfectionist. If I do a job, I make sure I do it well. I am also immensely compassionate and emphathic when it comes to all living creatures, so I think with these skills combined, I would be perfectly fit to look after your furry, feathery or scaly friend.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will take care of pets based off exact instructions provided by clients. Typically, I would take dogs out on long walks in the surrounding areas or backyards, play with and feed all animals, and ensure that their water bowls are changed and filled with clean water, and all litter boxes, cages or tanks are cleaned. I will make sure to be vigilant when it comes to clients' pets to make certain they are safe at all times. And, you can ensure that I will leave the clients' home clean and exactly how it was found, and once finished, all doors and windows will be locked and secured to prevent possible intrusions. I am someone who always double checks to make sure a door is locked.
Ratings and reviews
Christina is a meticulous professional and a reliable resource for taking care of my Dottie. She always communicates well around scheduling and the various tasks that she completes when she drops in and walks my Dottie Bear. She is highly recommended!
Christina is so caring and communicative! She certainly gave my Sully her full attention and wanted to make sure all of his needs were met and more! She goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her!
Christina was incredibly sweet, communicative, detail oriented, and super caring towards my Malio. She went above and beyond taking care of my cat and was so excited to do so. I would recommend her to anyone for their pet sitting needs and can’t wait to have her watch my boy again!
When I need someone to look after my Tabby Calico I know I can count on Christina. My cat has specific needs and it can be a challenge to find the right person to look after him but she has proven to be the best sitter I’ve come across. She always follows instructions and makes sure that Calico is well taken care of. He’s an important part of my family and I’m so happy to have found some one who also cares about him a lot. Christina is a great sitter and you won’t be disappointed.
Christina is an absolute treasure!! Our two beagles - Astra and Orion - love her! When ever she comes over to get them, they jump up and down in joy and run right to her. They love when she takes them on their walks and over to the doggie park. She cares deeply about animals as it really shows in how she treats them. Christina is amazing and I highly recommend her!
