Active Care for Happy&Healthy Pets!

Hi! I’m Christina, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I’ve had experience caring for pets of all different personalities, sizes, and needs. From my own pets to caring for family, friends’, and other people’s animals, I genuinely love getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care! I’m also very active and have a genuine love for exercise and the outdoors, which makes spending time with energetic pets especially enjoyable for me! Whether it’s going for a long walk, exploring a new trail, playing outside, or simply getting some fresh air together, I’m always excited to make exercise and adventure part of your pet’s day. I’m happy to match the activity level to each pet’s individual needs and personality. My goal is to give every pet plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your furry family member and make their time with me fun, active, and comfortable!

Christina has cared for our energetic boxer multiple times. She is trustworthy, caring, and always shows up on time and as scheduled. She’s happy to follow specialized instructions and sends photos and updates during her visits. I highly recommend Christina and look forward to the next time she dog sits for us!

Christina has been a trusted part of our family for years. She helped care for our older dog, Baxter, and now our puppy, Bocce, in addition to helping us with our two girls. She is incredibly kind, patient, dependable, and genuinely loves the animals she cares for. Our dogs have always adored her, and we have complete confidence leaving them in her care. Christina is one of those rare people we trust with the most important members of our family, both two-legged and four-legged. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Christina is awesome with my pets. I have a very needy 1 year old lab and a very skittish cat. Christina has taken care of them many times and they both get excited when she comes over. The dog loves the long walks and attention to his every need. The cat loves the gentle pets and playtime he gets whenever she visits. Her commitment to my pets is why she is always my first choice when it comes to a pet sitter.

Christina is fantastic! She has pet / house sat for us multiple times and provides tremendous peace of mind that our home and animals are in excellent hands. We love that she sends updates and pictures without us having to ask. Christina took care of our home and pets for us when we were on a cruise and without communication - we were so grateful to have someone responsible and kind taking care of everything, we never worried about what was going on at home and were able to truly unplug! Cannot recommend Christina enough.
