Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
First time clients, please provide your pet’s vaccination records. I must receive vaccine confirmation prior to any physical contact with your pet. Additionally, all introductions to dogs must take place outside of the home to allow for decompression/emotional regulation time and to gauge comfort/trust levels before entering their home. If you employ aversive methods and/or equipment against your pet I cannot accept your request for pet care services. I kindly ask that you seek services from an alternate care provider, thank you. For the time being I only offer services based in clients’ homes as I have two large dogs in my home. In the future for long term dog care clients, we can explore day care or play dates once trust is established for everyone involved. Until then, I am happy to provide one on one time and undivided attention for your cats and dogs while you are away.
Ratings and reviews
Christina saved the day with a last-minute change in request for dog sitting - she went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day before and to ensure that she had all the information needed to give Odelia the best care. So grateful!
Cristina was great! My dog can be a bit much on walks, since she is a high energy dog and can be reactive at times, but she seemed to manage her just fine! It was so convenient that she lived in my area. I would definitely recommend anyone, Loba took to her very quickly!
There’s no one that I trust more with my dogs! And my dogs looove Christina and get really excited every time they see them. Christina is thoughtful, proactive, and patient with any challenging behaviors or reactivity. They are also a great communicator.
Christina would make an absolutely wonderful petsitter. They are responsible, deeply caring, and have such a deep connection with animals. They have experience with pets who have high support needs and are very attuned to pets' emotions and energy. They are one of the few people I would trust with my high support needs dog and I highly recommend their services!
Christina has an ease with dogs that you can only get growing up surrounded by dogs. They are great at identifying a pet’s needs and letting skittish animals set the pace in order to build trust.
Christina house/cat sat for me every winter break for many years. Your pet is in good hands with Christina. I never had to worry about my cat missing me too much while out of the country because I knew they were happy spending time together back home.
