Pet care experience

Vet and boarding experience

My most recent experience was working as a Veterinary Assistant and Front Desk service at a Vet facility in Manassas VA. Before then, I worked at several daycare and boarding facilities, and have had experience in rescue at NYC ASPCA. I am not your average Joe or Jane looking for a summer job, I know about pet care! I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with a lot of love while you are away. I'll make sure to keep them comfortable, spoiled and well exercised. During my visit I'll make sure to keep you updated, and include pictures! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me about dog behavior questions and training advice! I am trying to get more experience so i would love to chat more about it. I do have a lot of behavioral training and trained under Pat Miller’s behavior academy. I would love to work while petsitting as a sort of “board and train”. I strongly encourage force-free methods in order to foster the bond between owner and pet! NOTE: My apologies but I cannot be responsible for caring for children, elderly, nor house guests while visiting the house or doing overnights, I do not feel comfortable, I am also not very good at small talk in general so I’d be pretty boring for them :) Overnight prices are also no longer negotiable.

Cristina always does a great job taking care of my cats, one of whom needs medicine daily. Really helps put my mind at ease when I have to travel that they are being taken care of.

Christina was great! She followed our instructions and was super responsive. We appreciate her willingness to help our dogs feel more comfortable eating while we were away. Thank you Christina!

She's a gem. I've depended on her many times to take care of my pets, even one with special needs.

Please let me know the following: Is your pet allergic to anything? How long can your pet stay alone at home? (I try not to leave them for more than 5 hours but I may have to drive across town to check on say, another cat or dog) Anything weird they may do when you are gone or I should look out for? How do they normally behave on leash walks?
