Tails and Trails

Pet care experience

Hey! My name is Christina and I have been an animal lover all my life so now I am looking for dogs who need walks or just some extra pets and cuddles. I currently have 2 rescues, a border collie mix named Charlie and a little basset hound named Abby. They live with my cat, cockatiel, and frogs. Charlie is agility trained and Abby is a therapy dog. I like helping dogs challenge themselves in a way that suits them. Mostly I just like exploring Knoxvilles greenways and parks with furry friends. I have experience with almost every type of animal and know sometimes its hard to find a sitter who will check the temperature for your chinchilla, handfeed your dragon crickets, or know that you never put an aquarium filter under tap water. I've got you covered!

I've only used Christina to walk my pups once but they seemed happy when i got home! She was very open to working with my random schedule and is quick to respond. I will definitely use her again!

Had Christina watch my 9 week old puppy and he's a handful! She took really good care of him while we were out of town for the weekend. She sent me pupdates everyday and also went to my house to check on my other little critters. I would definitely reccomemd her! ?

I love her. I love how much she loves my puppies. I am very sad she has moved because my doggies loved her. She goes out of her way to take care of my dogs. And she treated them as if they were her own. You will be very lucky having her take care of your furry friends.

Safety, trust & environment

I know how I feel when I leave my animals in the care of someone else and my goal is to ease all that worry. I pay special attention locks, gates, and doors.

Information Christina S. would like to know about your pet

I mainly just like to know the animal I'm hanging out with. Are they leash reactive? Do they need a special toy to take a nap? Are they allergic to anything?

A typical day

I love to get animals outside and into green spaces if they are into it. I think taking a dog for a good hike with lots of textures, smells, and sounds is the most stimulating thing you can do for them both physically and mentally.

I work full time so I am only avaliable after 4pm and on weekends. I would like to focus on evening walks for this reason.
