Professional Care & Personal Love

Pet care experience

*Fully Vaccinated* I have been very fortunate to grow up with animals my whole life - even several at once! I am great with animals of all personalities, but I have my own specialties to be the perfect person to watch over any kind of pet! I am very gentle, fun-loving, and have great experience administering medication. I specialize in cats and pets who may be more shy, apprehensive, elderly, or just need a little extra TLC and patience. I currently have my own fur-baby: a large Russian blue cat named Fred. I have taught him one trick - he can even fist bump! I can't promise that your pet will be giving you high-fives when you come home, but I can ensure that they will be loved on and cared for.

I currently live on the South side of Des Moines near Gray's Lake in a large smoke-free apartment building. I have a one-bedroom apartment with my cat Fred who is very friendly and active. He's almost like a dog!

Information Christina P. would like to know about your pet

I love to know as much information as I can about your pet - any schedules they are used to, habits, favorite things, least favorite things - anything and everything I can know to ensure that your pet is as comfortable as if you were there!

A typical day

I am very open to a dog's favorite activities - each visit is catered to what the dog enjoys the most and what is best for them! Whether a pet needs some extra stimulation with a puzzle toy, or only needs to stretch their legs on occasion, each visit is entirely personalized.

My schedule tends to be consistent with weekday work hours from 8am-5pm. I work downtown in a great central option for pets in the area and evening or weekend visits. My work schedule is my own, so if needed I am able to visit in the afternoon or over lunch.
