Pet care experience
Reliable, Personalized Pet Care
I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to senior dogs requiring extra care. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions when needed. I also have experience working with dogs that have behavioral challenges such as separation anxiety, resource guarding, and reactivity. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’m very familiar with canine body language and believe strongly in calm, consistent handling. I’ve helped puppies learn leash walking, basic obedience commands (sit, stay, down, etc.), and have supported owners during early potty-training stages. For boarding, I do require that dogs are already potty trained so they can comfortably integrate into the household routine. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis for an additional cost. My goal is always to create a calm, safe environment where each dog feels comfortable and well cared for.

Ratings and reviews
Christina did drop-in visits for my puppy who is too young for daycare. She did a great job and even walked him even though he is not great on a leash yet. I'd definitely book with her again!
Great last minute visit from Christina! She took time to come meet my dog prior to the visit for her comfort, got the lay of the land and my dog liked her immediately! I appreciate her returning to make sure my house was locked up appropriately too! We will be a return customer!
Christina is great! She sent daily updates and photos and clearly Annabelle was a happy girl! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Christina!
Christina is fantastic! Our dogs boarded with her and had such a good stay, and we got plenty of updates while we were away. She also walked them on very last minute notice due to our regular walkers falling through. We highly recommend Christina and are already booked for repeat service with her in the near future!
Rover did not put our dog back in her crate after walking her, as instructed. Left our puppy out with full access to the house. We came back to a disaster. She ingested human food and a cat toy, and damaged property. Incredibly concerned for our dog’s safety. Incredibly upset.
Christina is great! She is one of my go to dog walkers and dog watchers. She is very dependable.

Schedule
I care for pets full-time, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and boarding. Dogs staying in my home receive regular potty breaks, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. Because my schedule is flexible, I can accommodate morning, midday, and evening needs and will adapt to your dog’s routine so their schedule stays as consistent as possible.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize a calm, safe environment for every dog in my care. I intentionally board dogs from only one household so each dog receives individual attention and a lower-stress environment compared to high-volume boarding homes. I have my own friendly dog, and I always ensure dogs are a good temperament match before confirming a stay. Meet-and-greets are encouraged so both dogs can become comfortable before the booking. I carefully follow each dog’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special instructions provided by the owner. Safety and consistency are always my top priorities.

A typical day
A typical day includes plenty of outdoor time in my fenced-in backyard, walks, playtime, treats (if allowed), and relaxing inside my home. I adjust the day based on each dog’s energy level and preferences; some dogs enjoy longer walks and lots of play sessions, while others prefer a slower pace and lots of affection. Dogs staying with me are treated like family and are included in the daily routine. I also send regular updates and photos so you can see how your dog is doing while you’re away.

- Before booking, it’s helpful to know your dog’s: • energy level and exercise needs • comfort level with other dogs • feeding schedule • any medications or medical needs • any behavioral quirks or triggers The more information you can provide, the better I can make sure your dog has a safe and comfortable stay.
