Pet care experience
Hello there! My Name is Christina. I’m a loving, energetic pet sitter with over ten years of experience in pet training and pet sitting. Animals are a big part of my life — I have worked with almost every type of animal, from dogs and cats to lions and tigers. My day to day job is that of a zookeeper and dog trainer. I started working with animals at a young age and was able to build it into a career. In 2010 I started working at the Aquarium of The Pacific with their animals. I went on to work for a pet sitting company in Long Beach, CA. After that I traveled for work, working with all kinds of exotic animals including walruses, giraffes, lions and tigers. I recently moved back to San Ramon working as a dog trainer. I can handle anything you throw at me whether it is a dog, cat, bird or reptile. Whether they have pills or injections, need lots of exercise or cant do more than a 10 minute walk. I'm your girl. The thing I love about dogs is that they are so compassionate. They never stop loving you. They are so smart and so eager to please that they will do anything to please their human. All they want is food, shelter, and love! In my free time I love to go to the beach, camping and hiking. I also love to sit home and relax on the couch and cuddle with my new furry friend!
Reviews
We were extremely pleased with Christina. She was wonderful with our very shy husky. They made friends very shortly after we left for our vacation. She sent updates and pictures periodically through the day. She gave us piece of mind seeing that this was our first vacation since we got our dog.Things went very smoothly, and She left our home very clean. We would recommend her to everyone, and will definately call her again for the next time we need a sitter. You will not be disappointed.
Christina took great care of our pups and our home. We will definitely give her a call the next time we are out of town!
Our pets loved Christina! She was very good at keeping us updated and we felt at ease with her at our home with our fur babies!
Christina trained my dog, Lil Dom. She is amazing. He went from barking at every dog he met, pulling on walks and running out the door whenever it opened to heeling, coming when called and being polite to other dogs. Christina taught things I could practice on my on own. He even passed the canine good citizen test thanks to her.

Communication
Skills
Information Christina W. would like to know about your pet
When I come to the first meet and greet the first thing I do is say hello to your pup. He is the priority. It’s important that he feels comfortable with me from the beginning. Then I will greet the human. We will sit down and talk about your pup’s daily routine, so I can stick to the usual activities as closely as possible. We will talk about any aggression issues, favorite toys, any triggers, house rules, and vet information. I will also ask about medications or any medical issues.
A typical day
In the morning we’ll get up, eat some breakfast, go out for a nice 30-minute walk. Then we’ll spend the day snuggling on the couch, have another walk, and then dinnertime. .Finally, we’ll have a late night walk before we cuddle up in bed together for the night! Depending on your pup’s energy level, we may go just around the block or we may go for a longer hike. If mom and dad are okay with it, we may go out to a local hiking area and enjoy the beautiful weather. I will send text updates and pictures of your fur babies. Keeping an open line of communication is important — as well as ton of play time with the puppies!
