Keeping Your Critters Comfy!

Pet care experience

I'm a hard worker, reliable & loyal. I worked at an animal hospital for 9 years in the kennel area, helping out as a technician/vet assistant & even the receptionist area. I've had dogs, cats & ferrets practically since the day I was born. I've had experience dog sitting for a handful of clients at the place I worked. I take care of a special needs dog downtown every Saturday & also take care of a special needs cat from time to time. I know how to medicate & bathe animals. I just love all kinds of animals! 9 years experience working at an animal hospital. Walking, feeding, bathing & medicating animals. I've done pet sitting for many clients & still do. I walk, medicate & bathe a special needs dog on Saturdays downtown. I know how to give oral medications & injections. Why I love dog sitting I guess you can say since the day I was born. Growing up I had 4 West Highland White Terriers. After I was born my parent's got our 1st puppy Toby. Best dog I've ever had! We did everything together & he slept with me always. When I was 14 he passed away. I've always had dogs all my life. Not 1 day has gone by that I haven't had an animal in my life. My experience administering medication Absolutely! Been doing it for the past 9 years. Not only with animals at my work but my own animals as well.

Christina is wonderful with my finicky cat! She filled in at the last minute because Kobe wouldn’t come out for my regular cat sitter to get his insulin. He came out willingly for Christina. She is the greatest!!

Christina did an excellent job caring for my elderly, diabetic cat. He is generally reluctant to come out for strangers, but was right by the door whenever Christina came by. She was always on time, which is important for a diabetic cat, and communicated well with me. I highly recommend her.

Christina was awesome with our cat Chance! He has quite an attitude, and she handled it so well. It was so comforting knowing our guy was in good hands.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog As much time as you like. I spend a couple hours downtown with a special needs dog while her owner's at work. Extra house-sitting services Of course. That's not a problem at all. In fact I would think that'd be a given but that's just my opinion.
