About: I am currently unable to sit due to car troubles! Hello, my name is Christina and I have lots of experience with pets from a personal standpoint. I am trying to get my foot in the door professionally! have cared for friends and families animals and I have been an animal lover since birth! I have 2 Auskys, so I know what it takes to keep a high energy dog happy! I also love puppies and seniors, each animal’s unique needs are so interesting to me. I hope you consider me to take care of your fur babies 💕🐾 I am pursuing this as a potential full time endeavor as a take a break from my career in the hospital. My further plan down the line is to potentially do this as part time and return to part time hospital work. I cannot sit in my home due to my lease not allowing visiting pets. However, I have some experience from Wag! When it comes to entering the home, ensuring the animal feels comfortable with my presence, and taking care of their needs from there. Whether it’s sitting, a drop in, or a much needed walk I strive to be your pet’s best friend!
About: I have always been a natural animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I have regularly helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, walking, and giving lots of attention and love while they’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone you trust. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves long walks or prefers a calm environment and extra snuggles, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am happy to provide updates, photos, and consistent communication so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your life easier and ensure your pet feels loved every step of the way. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate multiple check-ins per day if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know it takes trust to leave your pet in someone else’s care and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I take time to understand your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions before care begins. During visits, I ensure doors are secure, food and water are refreshed, and the environment is kept clean. I provide a calm, low-stress environment and treat your home and pet with respect and care.
“Timothy and his wife were really great and very professional. I went out of town for the weekend and one of my dogs has special needs and they were very sweet to her. I would definitely recommend and will be rebooking.”
“Sarah is an absolute godsend!! She was able to take care of Dean over the weekend on such short notice—literally night before. She was diligent in following all care instructions, sent pictures every day (so grateful), and was respectful of my home. Will definitely be rebooking if we need drop in visits in the future!”
