About: I have personal experience with small and big dogs. Puppies and elderly dogs. Indoor and outdoor cat. Cats that like to hide, cats that have disabilities. I have 2 dogs. Patty, a 17yo toy poodle shitshu mix. Nordic, 5yo husky german shepherd mix. I've raised Nordic since a puppy giving me lots of experience with high energy large dogs. I also have 2 outdoor cats. I helped my cat give birth to kittens, and took care of the kittens til they were old enough to go to thier forever homes. Ive house/pet sit for multiple family friends giving me experience with elderly/ end of life pet care. Have no problem cleaning up accidents. Aswell as experience with homes with large amounts of pets needing different dietary needs. Ive cared for homes with 6 cats, and homes with 5 dogs. I am detail oriented, and follow directions. I also have have worked as a bather at an award winning Carmichael Pet Salon. I can give pet bathes, cut and grind nails, do gland expression and give full brush outs. I have a very flexible schedule, I am a stay home mother. And dad works from home. So I'm almost always available to help, and happy to do so! My cats got used to being outdoor because that's how my father choose to raise them. They have a set up in our garage with heating pads and dinning area. And come inside during the day when they want. My elderly dog usually sleeps by my feet or with my dad. And we make sure she's indoors as much as possible. My husky loves to be near my babies he can usually be found outside their door or sunbathing in the backyard. He's off leash trained when appropriate for him to be off leash. He walks with me to get the mail, or hang out front with his family. I'm very big on treating animals how their owner does. Keeping routines. I have experience with crating from when my Husky was a puppy. I also have experience with blind and deaf dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of any kind of animal you can name. I’ve worked/volunteered at recuses, breeders, vet offices, and my family has raised and raced standardbred horses since I was born. I also pet/house sit often. I know cpr/first aid for both dogs, cats, and small animals. I have also been approved for my 501(c)3 non for profit animal rescue license and I’m working towards starting my own animal rescue center. I work part time and I’m going to school to become a phlebotomist. I currently care for my rabbit, cat, 20 chickens, three peacocks, great dane, and five horses. So hard work is not new to me! As someone who leaves things better than I find them, your house, pets, and privacy are are my number one priority. You won’t have to worry about the safety of your pets, state of your home, or any medication/special needs your pet(s) may have or need!

About: I am a Military retiree, I have nothing but time. Ready, willing and able to pet sit, walk, pet, bathe, brush and spoil. I’ve had both cats and dogs for over the last 20 years. I currently have a 6yr old Service animal (dog) for my child. I have also worked at a Dog boarding /shelter that was on a farm. There I cared for dogs of all ages, breeds and needs. I can be available anytime in a 24 hour window. My children drive themselves now and no longer need me to run them around like I am a personal taxi. In our home, we just love!!!! Everybody has a few boundaries here and there like the cats aren’t allowed on the countertops, or the table, but they have no problems sitting/lying on our laps and our necks on the back of the couch. Our dogs are allowed on my children’s beds. I personally prefer cuddles with them on the couch. BUT——YOUR home, YOUR rules. I will follow, conform and adhere to whatever you deem appropriate for your house and animal family member.

About: I’ve worked with pets at every stage of life. From puppies full of energy to gentle senior dogs who need extra care. I’m adaptable and patient, whether that means giving a shy cat some space, offering tender attention to an older dog, or playing actively with a high-energy pup. Every visit, I make sure to provide a calm, focused, and loving environment for your pet. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability to care for your pets. I have a good amount of free time throughout the week and love using it to give animals the attention, playtime, and care they need! Whether it’s daily visits, walks, or just some quality cuddle time, I’m happy to fit your pets needs into my routine and make your pet feel loved and well looked after. My main focus is keeping YOUR pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their environment. I always make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure before and after visits, and I’m careful to follow any household rules or routines the owner has in place. I take the time to learn each pet’s specific needs like feeding schedules, walk routines, and favorite toys so they feel comfortable . I also keep the home tidy, especially around food and litter areas, and I always double check that everything is clean and safe before leaving. My goal is to make things easy and stress-free for both the pet and their owner.

Christina was amazing! She was understanding and patient with my anxious pup, and capable of handling my dog-reactive one. I always worry that my roughhousing, loud dogs will be too intense for people, but Christina's experience proved to be a perfect fit! I would definitely recommend her as a sitter :)

About: I have experience with puppies, beginner obedience training and potty training. Senior dog care, special needs, surgery or vet procedure recovery and care. Active dogs that need lots of engagement and exercise or dogs that just want to hang out and cuddle. I work primarily from home, have a safe and fenced yard. Our home is open with lots to explore or we can provide a safe, quiet space if your pet needs that. I have a safe, fenced yard they can run around in or if they would rather hang out with me, sit in my lap, lay in my bed. I walk multiple times a day and have nature and walking trails around my home. I have a quiet room if your pet needs quiet space or they can run around the house and explore and play with my kids (10 and 12) and hang out with my family.
