Fun dog walker and companion

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Christina and here’s a little summary about myself. My parents have always had dogs in the family for the majority of my life. I grew up with dogs and learned how to care for small and big dogs from a very young age. I have a passion for spending time with your fur babies large and small, old and young, and getting to know them personally. I have open availability Monday through Wednesday anytime after 11am and my end time is no later than 9pm. I am also available on weekends for dog walking and boarding services but I would like a week's notice so I can make sure to book a spot for you and your canine. I'll take your furry friend out on walks, give them play time, and provide them with anything that you as the owner may want your pet to have. I can provide dog sitting in your own home, dog boarding, and dog walking services which would include: walking your dog around the neighborhood or to nearby parks, playing, and providing your furbaby with water and food if needed. I grew up on a ranch with a large variety of different animals that I helped care for. I have experience with all the basic dog care needs as I have owned many dogs in the past and currently own a 2-year-old Golden Retriever. When I lived on a ranch I cared for wild horses and regular horses, chickens and roosters, pigs, cows, goats, sheep, turkeys, a camel, cats, and dogs. I also had a lovebird (miniature parrot) and a tank full of fish that I took care of back when I was younger. I have three years of volunteer work and paid experience work and since I grew up with dogs I have many years of experience in that field of expertise. I love dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I can also perform mild grooming like brushing, trimming fur, and nail filing. I know the basics on how to take care of dogs such as daily exercise, play, grooming, feeding them, cleaning up after them and giving your pet the one on one time they deserve. I am a huge animal and dog lover, I've loved dogs my entire life and I truly enjoy spending quality time with dogs. Being able to walk, run and play with your dog and to take them to the dog park or around familiar neighborhoods that they may feel more comfortable with is something that I will truly enjoy doing for your pet. I have a high extensive knowledge of caring for my own dogs throughout the years in my childhood and have trained, cared for, and raised my own puppy since she came home to my fiancé and I at 8 weeks old! I have all the necessary skills needed and a huge amount of love for dogs that I'll be able to provide for you and your pet. I guarantee excellent service and I will fulfill any of your needs/requirements upon request. I hope to be that person that you and your dog look forward to seeing each time we meet up! Thank you for the opportunity and looking forward to getting to know you and your dog!

Super patient and caring of my pups. She was thorough in her before booking process to ensure we were both a good fit. She kept me very updated and provided plenty of pictures of their stay. If she had any questions she wasn’t hesitant to ask and was eager to answer any I had.

Christina is has always been, literally, surrounded by dogs. A collie and two German shepherds to be exact. Canine companions have always filled a prominent position in her life and currently the position is filled by a beautiful golden girl. Christina is very responsible and would be a good choice for anyone seeking a sitter or a walker for their own furry friend!

She will love and care for your babies like her own ! She has been an animal lover her entire life and has pets her entire life. You will easily tell when you meet her and Emi! She told me about Pepper, her bird Mango and her current one Emi! Emi is such a lovely Golden whom my husband met since he grew up with Golden. He trust Rin with her! I am a very picky on my pet sitter because Rin has separate anxiety issue but I trust Christina ! I think you guys won't regret your decision if you choose her❤️! She is a diamond to us!

Christina, for as long as I can remember has always loved taking care of our dogs. She used to take our dog for long walks several times a week. We recommend Christina for any of your dog sitting or walking needs.

I have a large fenced-in yard and a friendly Golden Retriever to keep your pup company throughout the day for boarding services. I can also keep your dog separate from my dog if you would prefer that as well. I have a 1-year-old baby at home so just a heads up on that. For dog sitting services, just let me know your preferences and I'll be happy to follow a schedule and routine of what your dog will need.

Information Christina S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has any issues with other dogs while out walking so I know how to better control your dog just in case of an emergency. Are they territorial, aggressive, or timid around other dogs or humans? Also if your dog has a favorite destination that they like to go to when going on walking routes. Medium to small dogs preferably. I would also like to know in advance if your dog has been spayed or neutered and if your furry friend is caught up on all vaccines / shots.

A typical day

I will take your dog around nearby neighborhoods or familiar walking routes that your dog may feel more comfortable with. If there is a dog park nearby I will take your dog there for some exercise and run around with them.
