Safety, trust & environment

I would follow your care instructions as provided, I do live in an apartment with 2 cats but when other animals stay they will be completely separated and to ensure no potential issues with animals not getting along. I have nice trails and a dog park and pool in my community. Dogs that's stay with me must be no more 35 lbs and be crate trained. Your pet would only be in a crate if I have to work, but my typical shift is 5-6 hours never more then 7.

Information Christina V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know in any care plans about feeding times, and usual bathroom times. Any medication or grooming needs that need to met. If you need and are comfortable I can also run errands with your pet ie. groom, going to the vet, just taking a drive. Any allergies your pet may have including food and outside allergens and the overall temperament of your pet. You know them best and the more information I have the better service I can give to your furry friend.

A typical day

I live a very active life stye, going to the gym taking walks spending time in my garden. Im also totally fine to stay in and relax and work on the computer so really flexible with whatever the pets needs may be we can meet them.

Your Pets New Best Friend!

Pet care experience

I'm a calm and patient pet caregiver who enjoys working with pets of all temperaments. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, or older and needs extra care, I take the time to understand their needs and make them feel safe. I know how important its is to know your pet is doing well while your away. I always follow care instructions carefully and send update photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I have had several years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats including feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, and giving basic medication. I understand how important it is to keep a pet in its routine and want you to feel confident that your pets are healthy and safe.

Christina was awesome with Barkley and at our place. She sent several updates, was extremely communicative, and most importantly took great care of our pup! She also left our apartment in perfect condition and went above and beyond to clean up. We very much appreciate her and will make her our go-to stay in sitter for trips going forward!

We couldn’t be happier with the care our 3 month old puppy received 🐶💛 From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. She was incredibly caring, patient, and attentive, and kept us updated with photos and messages the entire time. You can truly tell how much she loves and cares for animals. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter! ✨
