Pet care experience
Hello! Hello! I grew up in lafayette and just moved back from Boston where i managed a doggie daycare for 10 years and had an in-home petsitting business for 8 years! I am well trained in dog nutrition and dog behavior. I absolutely love spending time with my four legged friends and i have my own 10 year old italian greyhound at home named Mario. I am not employed at the moment so I am very available for any hours you may need. I am used to taking care of dogs on a daily basis and following instructions/routines as well as giving medications. I walked an average of 40-50 dogs a day in Boston. Contact me and your dog will be well taken care of!
Reviews
Christina looked after my dog Duncan (17 pounds, mixed breed) both at doggie daycare and during the times I was traveling (ranging from 3 days - 1.5 weeks) over the course of 5 years while she lived in Boston. Duncan absolutely adored Christina and was always excited to see spend time with her. I never had to worry about Duncan when Christina was around - I trusted and knew that he was in the best care possible and would have a great time. I highly recommend Christina as a dog caregiver to any dog parent out there!
My dog Brutus absolutely fell in love with Christina! When I'd drop him off for an overnight sitting, he would cry in delight. Christina is equally responsible and reliable, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Kaya (my 3yo pitbull mix), my boyfriend and I were lucky enough to meet Christina while she was working at our neighborhood doggy daycare in Boston. In 2 years, Christina quickly became my dog and many other dogs' absolute favorite staff member. Christina always went above and beyond to give us a thorough report of our dog's day, would always let us know if anything was "off" with Kaya and would fill us in if she gave our dog any complimentary nail trims, which was always appreciated! She spoiled Kaya with treats, gifts and would send funny pics that would brighten up our day. I always went to Christina with any concerns I had with my dog and would trust in Christina's triage skills due to her lengthy experience working with so many different breeds of dogs with various personalities. Christina's suggestions on food, diet and really anything else, were always so appreciated by everyone at the daycare. Anyone who hires Christina for their dog sitting, should consider themselves very lucky to have a very experienced, kind, dog loving, person taking great care of their dog!

Information Christina P. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences but i would love to know about behaviors on walks beforehand. Does your dog like other dogs on leash? Does your dog enjoy meeting other people? Do they get scared of loud noises or cars?
A typical day
