Pet care experience

Vet-tech who loves every animal

I'm former Vet tech who loves every animal regardless of size, breed, age, behavior, quantity or special needs. I also used to work at a doggy daycare watching packs of dogs outside as well as minor grooming. I am happy to have two pets of my own. If you have any concerns with your baby I guarantee I can handle it. I have experience with all kinds of dogs and cats and I am not afraid of messes. Large dogs: I absolutely adore! Baby puppies/kitties: A handful that I can handle. Rambunctious nut ball: Lets go! Senior Citizen: Well have a great calm time. Special Needs: No problem what so ever, and if they need extra help or specific medicines I have plenty of experience. Multiple pets: More fun! Scared or anxious: They'll be 100% okay and I'll do my best to become friends. Likes their own space: I fully understand, I do too. I do also have minor experience sitting for "exotic" animals. I have sat for donkeys, horses, lizards, snakes, and birds before. If you have any concerns or additional questions feel free to contact me.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

It all depends on each pets individual needs and the clients preferences. I love playing with their favorite toys: sticks, balls, Frisbee, tuggy ropes, laser pointers, feather toys. Whatever gets them going. And if they're more of a calm cuddle bug, we'll have plenty of snuggles, pets, and naps in the sun. And if they just like to do their own thing, we'll just hang out and enjoy each other's company.

Christina did a great job taking care of our kitties; she was even able to befriend the "scaredy" one. She was reliable and posted great photos and updates, making us feel very relieved about being apart from our pets. We definitely intend to hire her again if she's available!

Christina took great care of our two dogs while we were away. She kept us updated with photos and messages each day. Very respectful to us and our home. She made sure both dogs were comfortable and well cared for. She sat with them to keep them company and gave them plenty of attention. We are very grateful for her help and would gladly book with her again!

Had the opportunity to have Christina stay at my home taking care of my dog while I was out of town last week. She was PERFECT!!!!! My dog adores her… she took wonderful care of my home and fur baby!!! She comes with my personal highest recommendation and I will use her again when the need arises. You will NOT go wrong with her! Thank you again Christina!!!! You were amazing!

Currently I am in between jobs so my schedule is completely free. I am choosing to take a much needed break and focus on digital art and creation. That makes pet sitting perfect for a job for the time being.

I like to know temperament and other general things about your pet, as well as special needs, and if there is any specific training or ways of doing things that you as owners want me to do.
