Dog lover for hire!

Pet care experience

I'm Christy! I'm a huge lover of dogs, all shapes, sizes, & colors. I've been dog sitting since I was around 10 years old, starting with my neighbor's three rescues. I've always loved animals, and dream of owning my own rescue one day. I've pet-sat both in the owner's home as well as my own and enjoy it no matter what! I have two labs, a rambunctious chocolate Seamus and a sweetpea named Missy. I also have three little boys ranging in age from infant to 8 years old, who love having guest dogs to hang out and play with. I am available to take dogs for walks, feed and clean up after them while you are away, or let them stay with me for added comfort. I work as a corrections officer and mostly have weekend shifts. If this is an issue, I ask that you contact me no later than the 10th of the month PRIOR to needing my services so I can schedule my hours differently. However, my husband is home with our boys during that time, so we are still available to take care of your furbaby on weekends if needed!

Christina took wonderful care of our elderly (but young at heart) beagle and sent reassuring photos of how well she was adapting:)

Christina was great! She sent me pics of my Lucy & was available whenever I sent her a text. We will definitely use her in the future!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Christina was very responsive and welcoming when taking our Border Collie mix, Maple, in for the weekend. Our puppy has a lot of energy and having a family with two very friendly dogs helped keep her busy and having fun while we were away. I am so grateful to find a reliable pet sitter like Christina and highly recommend her for anyone’s pet sitting needs.

Information Christina S. would like to know about your pet

I have to admit that I'm partial to labs and pitties, but I love all breeds nonetheless! All I need to know is if your baby is good with other dogs and children

A typical day

I'm available to take dogs for walks, but that's not all! I can give baths, do brushings, and incorporate games into our day as well. Playing fetch or tug of war is well within my abilities. As for walks, we can go around the block or we can go a mile up the road, it all depends on the dog and what they like/can handle.
