Pet care experience

Responsible, Reliable, & Relateable

I've had pets my entire life since I was a child: dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, & even snakes and lizards. I love all animals and enjoy connecting & taking care of them. I am usually very good at being tuned in with animals and feel very comfortable with them, and them with me. I've raised and trained several pets in my lifetime, so I'm familiar with what that takes. I'm also a relatively strong and physically active person, so I'm comfortable with larger dogs, and can handle taking them on walks, even if they tend to be high energy. I'm also comfortable with being assertive when needed. The combination of my love for animals and my good communication and people skills, along with being responsible, respectful, reliable, and trust worthy is what make me great for this type of work. Since I also love to travel, I understand the stress of leaving your home and your pets behind when you need to leave. My goal is to help make you feel as easeful as possible, and give you confidence knowing that you've left things in good hands and in safe care. I tend to be a very clean and organized person, and most clients find that they return to a cleaner home than when they left!

Safety, trust & environment

I like to make a personal connection with the pet and pet owner, and want both you & your companion to feel as comfortable and safe as possible while you're separated from each other. I appreciate specific instructions and understanding your pet's routine and needs, and will do everything in my power to make the experience for both of you as seamless and as easeful as possible.

Christina is simply wonderful in every way. Beyond having an obvious heart for animals, she is honest, trustworthy and kind. She cared for my kitties on short notice while I was out of town and I had complete peace of mind, never thought once about their care, and I am always a little nervous about leaving my 21 year-old cutie (and my shy guy really warmed up to her immediately). If you’re looking for excellent pet care, you don’t need to look any further. I promise you will have peace of mind entrusting your babies with Christina!

This is my third time booking Christina for a week-long sitting service. I can relax and enjoy a vacation knowing my furry family members are being well loved and cared for while I'm away. Thank you, Christina!

Christina took fantastic care of our fur baby AND our house - as it was our first time leaving our dog with someone unfamiliar, we were super nervous, but she sent lots of pictures and was a frequent communicator on what he was up to and any concerns she had. Ramsay doesn't warm up to strangers quickly but she met him where he was at and was so loving to our grumpy old man. We would definitely book again :)

Christina was wonderful! She took great care of our dog and home. She was very clear and communicative and followed our care instructions perfectly. Also, our dog loved her! She was so bummed when it was time for Christina to leave. We would hire Christina again to dog/house sit in a heart beat!

I have nothing but incredible things to say about Christina. You never know what to expect when you have someone you don’t know very well stay at your house, but from the moment my wife and I met her, we could tell that Christina would take care of our dogs and our home as if they were her own. Christina is a great communicator and sent plenty of pictures and updates to ensure we were in the loop while we were out of the country for Thanksgiving. Our two Frenchies loved her and our home was left in great shape. We’d absolutely book Christina again.

Christina is wonderful! She did overnight pet sitting for 5 nights. I have not left my pets before so I was a little nervous, but her updates and communication helped me feel at ease. I came home to a tidy apartment and happy pets! I will definitely hire her again in the future.

I work online for myself & I do a lot of traveling myself for part of the year. I love new experiences and am very adaptable, so this is a great way to supplement my income, live a more travel oriented lifestyle, and let's me help pet owners in need and spend more time with animals.

Whether a dog has any special needs, health or behavioral issues, or has any aggressive behaviors. Also, it would be good know their age, breed, and the basics of their lifestyle and routine, and any personality characteristics that would be good to know.
