Personalized care for your dog or cat - Washburn

“Not great at reviews, but this was our first experience leaving our babies. They came back happy and healthy. Nikki kept us updated with pictures, which helped ease our minds. They were walked and fed and given attention.”

“My dogs love going to Christina’s to play on the farm and hang with her animal family. I struggled through a few sitters before I found Christina and we haven’t looked back since. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had cats since I was old enough to pay my own bills. I’ve watched neighbor’s cats and volunteered at cat rescues. I understand that they can get overstimulated and need time to approach you. I try to make sure they get that time and the attention they need.

“Our Grace love’s Christina, her family and her fur babies! I love the pics and updates. Grace and I have some separation anxiety and Christina knows how to handle it so well. We’ve had Christina for short and long visits; both at her home and ours. I can’t say enough great things about her!”

“Christina is kind, responsive and caring. She was flexible with our changing plans (we took a last minute trip and the details weren’t all ironed out when I requested the booking). She is one of those special people who can easily read animals and care for them accordingly.”

“Niki and Zach were great to work with to have our Ebby over to their house! I made an original reservation then realized I had overbooked our itinerary-Niki and Zach were wonderful about being able to change the date! They sent a text with pictures during the day showing Ebby was having a great time on a walk. We will definitely use them again if we are in their area!”

“My dog loves his walks with Christina! She’s very professional and easy to communicate with about schedule changes and updates. So grateful to have this option and support with a high energy puppy.”

About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and raised two wonderful lab puppies. I’ve cared for friend’s and family’s animals and have a calm patient approach to animal care. I’ve even had hamsters and chickens. I’m currently establishing a homestead with my two cats and ten chickens and working part time. I’m looking forward to growing my animal flock further in the next few years. Safety is my first priority so I make sure that I understand your animal’s needs and tendencies before coming in or out. Once I’m sure we are safe then it’s time to have fun in whatever way your pet likes. Some want a comfy snuggle and some need to work off some energy. I’m there for them.

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life- grew up on a dairy farm in Northern VT. My family consists of three rescued dogs and a rescued 18 yr old cat- Betelgeuse. I have experience with many different breeds of dogs, am comfortable with medication management and am very reliable. I work Monday-Thursday from 730-5pm. I am available all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday for pet care and can be available in the early morning and evenings during the week. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. If caring for a pet outside my home, I am fastidious with details, safety oriented, and believe that exercise and attention is necessary to help reduce anxiety when a pet’s main caregiver is absent. If you are looking to board your pet in my home, I have a fenced in yard and three fur babies to keep your baby company (my cat does not go outside or really interact with dogs) Can crate upon request. I prefer to care for fur babies in their own homes initially- I have a small baby at home so I am selective as to who comes to my home.

About: I'm very passionate about caring for pets. The nature of animals is very therapeutic and I strongly believe they should be well-cared for. Pets are so vulnerable and it's up to us to be there for them. I worked as a kennel assistant at a great dane rescue where all the dogs had past bite history. Dogs can sense danger, and working to help those dogs feel safe, was such an incredible experience. I've always had pets since a young age. During my free time I love to walk dogs and give pets alot of attention that's desired while their parents are away. I pet-sit for friends and family often. I work fulltime but can play with your pets in the morning M-F 7:00a - 8:30a or evening M-F 5:15p-9:30p. I'm available most weekends Sat/Sun 7:00a - 10:00p. As of now, I will need to care for your pet in your home. We can play in the yard and/or go for walks in the community. I work from home and my schedule is pretty flexible. I can care for your pets throughout the week Monday - Sunday 8:00a - 10:00p. I would love to give your pet all the attention it desires. I will let your dog outside to go potty, play fetch, feed them, brush their fur, go for a walk, clean cats litter box, etc. Whatever their needs are, I'm happy to help! :)
