Chris is great with all animals. She has helped me with my cat. My cat has a thyroid condition and requires trans-dermal ear medication rubbed on the inside of her ear every 12 hours. My cat loves her and Chris has no problem giving my cat her medication.

Christina is a very warm and caring person who will treat others' pets as if they were her own. She was raised with pets in the home and loves all animals passionately. She is honest, compassionate and conscientious. She has cared for my pets many times. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

My Fur-Baby, Ladi, is a 13 year-old mix breed pupper with many special needs. Chris is one of the few people I trust to care for her in my absence. This involves giving ladi her medications and vitamins as well as the preparation of her breakfast and dinner. When its time to mix up her special meal of fresh spinach with a hefty scoop of pumpkin puree, one half cup of kibble and 2 over easy eggs, Ladi almost can't contain her excitement and Chris knows just they way she likes her eggs. Aside from all this, Ladi is also extremely needy in the love and affection department. She needs all of it and I have found that Chris is perfect for the job.

Schedule

My work schedule allows me to go to homes in local areas of Kenner, Metairie, some of New Orleans, the West Bank and Avondale, Louisiana. I work full time as a sales associate handling high-end, luxury goods with professional and personal references. I have open availability to visit before and after work daily in the morning (depending on where the pet is located) and evening every day. My work schedule rotates every week so the exact times of my availability will vary. I am guaranteed off work three (3) days a week. On my off days I can sleep at your pet's home, with the understanding that I do not have work the next day.

Safety, trust & environment

I have an animal friendly home. Your cat or cats would have its own room. Cat tree, tunnel and toys. Treats if allowed!! I have 5 cats and 1 dog of my own. They are all friendly however, I would not introduce your babies to them. We want a low stress and safe feeling environment. I understand cats behavior and would not want any unnecessary stress to come to them or my babies.

Pets

A typical day

Each day of boarding, we would start with brushes and scratches, play with some toys and have some lovely naps! Together time as well, just hanging out. For doggies, I love to stimulate them mentally and physically. Playing games and long walks to check out all the smells.

Cats

Give me a heads up about your babies special needs or attention. Toys, blankets, treats are all good. Brushings, scratches and nap time. They need it all.
