Vet and boarding experience

Pet care experience

**READ ME** ** currently out of town from aug 12- aug 18! I will respond to any messages after then** I have been messing around with pricing etc, I have always preferred to list the higher price just in case as opposed to adding additional costs later. RETURNING CLIENTS- I am honoring any previous client prices, please send me a message, even if we didn’t fully book but you had sent me a message before. NEW CLIENTS - Please don’t be afraid to message me and include if: -If you are located less than 8 miles away -If you don’t need me to stay overnight -If you have mostly cats, or more than 2 pets and some are cats. Or -If you think your dog is pretty low maintenance overall. NOTE: My apologies but I cannot be responsible for caring for children nor house guests while visiting the house or doing overnights, I do not feel comfortable nor equipped with proper training. 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 also have trained with well known pet behavior consultant, Pat Miller. 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. I am currently also passionate about pet behavior, and can provide basic obedience as well as puppy training advice, just let me know. I am very strong believer in force-free methods because they foster the bond between pet and human much better than a forceful or dominance-based one. During my visit I'll make sure to keep you updated, and include pictures!

Cristina took great care of our pets during our trip. She provided pictures and updates every day and was communicative with us throughout.

So thankful for Cristina, I had some last minute changes to my trip and Cristina was more than accommodating. I rest easy knowing Cristina is watching my pets.

Cristina was great. She sent lots of pictures, took the dogs for walks, and left the house very clean. I would highly recommend her.

I cannot say enough good things about Cristina! Our cat has some medical issues and she went above and beyond to take care of him while we were gone. She gave him his medication with no issues, updated me on his health status, and offered to help us even more than what we asked of her. I feel so comfortable leaving our cat in her hands, definitely recommend Cristina!

Let me know how you treat your babies and I will do my best to keep them in their same routine and not spoil them *too* much.

Information Cristina A. would like to know about your pet

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?

A typical day

I am very big on enrichment for dogs. We'll go on walks, and if your pet is able to, I can also give some yummy treat-filled kongs as rewards :) Make sure to let me know if your pet is passionate about anything in particular. A well exercised dog is a happy dog!
