Availability
I am currently unemployed as I have just graduated after 5 years at university and have decided to take a year long break before I enter into full time work as a veterinarian, and so I am pretty available!

About Christina T.
Communication
Dog skills
Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
From anxious to over-excitable, I make an effort to understand each animal's temperament and interact with them accordingly which usually means we can get on well! I am more than happy to receive information about a pet's personality and likes / dislikes ahead of meeting them. When taking them out for walks, I am open to suggestions on locations, especially if they have favourite routes and will keep them on the lead unless given specific permission otherwise and in an area I deem safe. I understand it is a lot to let a new person care for your pets and enter your home so I am happy to meet (if local and schedules permit) or at very least call with you before starting and keep you updated via phone if you are away so that you have peace of mind. (Also as a proud plant owner myself, I can tend to these while you are away too!)
Information Christina T. would like to know about your pet
You know your pet best, so I trust that you know what I need to know! I'd love to hear a bit about their temperament so I can adjust how I greet them and make a good impression! Also any particular likes / dislikes eg if they are dog reactive, love swimming, prefer company or space and what their general routine is so we can keep disruption to a minimum.
A typical day
Whatever your pet enjoys! I will adjust our days to their needs :) When on walks, some love to run for hours, others prefer the mental stimulation of sniffing every 3 paces on a walk but both are important. Happy to enforce any training you have bene working on. At home, we can cuddle and play to their heart's content or just exist in each other's company if they prefer their space.

Pet care experience
I have grown up taking care of animals and have a wide variety of experience. Personally, I have always owned cats and have been taking care of my neighbour's dogs for the past 11 years. Professionally, I have just completed my veterinary training at the University of Liverpool and have spent the last 5 years learning to care for animals and putting this in practice on placements (both in and out of clinical settings). As a minimum, we complete 38 weeks of placement outside of our studies and the last year and a half of our degree is spent on rotations in veterinary hospitals. I have been trained in small animals (mainly cats, dogs and rabbits), equine and farm species (mostly cows and sheep) but I am mainly interested in working in a small animal veterinary setting when I enter practice. For now, I am taking a year-long break between my studies and entering full time work. Because of this training, I have a good understanding of animal care and behaviour, am capable of reading animals and their cues, can administer medications and notice if a pet is unwell and of course, have a great deal of love for animals! (Let me know if you would like more details of specific experience, I can happily provide this but is quite a long list)
Cat care experience
Christina also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Christina is a lovely, kind natured soul who when first meeting my Fern you could instantly see her love and care for animals. Christina stayed at mine overnight house sitting. I was sent lovely pictures of my Fern looking very happy and the house was just as I left it. Highly recommended!
Christie is brilliant with animals, both kind and caring. In the past year there have been numerous weekends where she has travelled across the country to look after pets (dogs and cats of all kinds) for the weekend. Christie is also a fully qualified vet which makes her a great choice for looking after your pet! Every time Christie visits I am convinced that she is coming just as much to see my dog as she is me. My dog in turn is always incredibly excited to see her, knowing great walks are in store!
