Safety, trust & environment

My number one priority is keeping your pet safe. I love to care for your pets in your own home, providing them with the utmost comfort and keeping them in an anxiety-free environment. If there is anything that I can do to make your pet more comfortable, let me know, and I will try my absolute best to do right by them. It is my utmost priority to keep your pet safe, happy and healthy.

Information Christina O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has special needs, needs medications during my visit, and if there are certain areas of their body that they don’t tolerate people touching/handling. I want your pet to experience the least amount of anxiety possible, and want to keep myself and your pet safe at all times.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your pets physically and mentally. I love to play tug-of-war, fetch, and use puzzle games to stimulate not only their body, but their mind as well. When going on walks I like the dog to lead me around, sniffing as they please. So not only is the walk physically stimulating, it’s also mentally stimulating.

Born and Raised Animal Lover!

Pet care experience

Growing up with dogs in my house, I’ve gained years of experience with animal care-taking. I’ve learned that all dogs have a determination to love and to be loved, and that if you take time to get to know them, you’ll become a part of the pack. In terms of my experience, I’ve pet-sat for countless friends and family members, even administering their medication. Additionally I’ve worked at a doggie daycare center for around 6 months. I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter and worked with both dogs and cats. As well as volunteering at a farm animal sanctuary. I’d love to be a part of your pet’s pack!
