About Christina

About me: Compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and experienced pet care provider.

I specialize in senior pet care. I have substantial experience caring for pets with kidney or heart disease as well as dogs with canine cognitive disfunction. Please contact me for more information.

Experience:

My recent experience includes, but is not limited to:

volunteer foster and event coordinator for freedom dog rescue;

volunteer animal care assistant at rideau valley wildlife centre;

over seven years experience providing professional pet care services for dogs, cats and small pets (rabbits, fish, guinea pigs);

providing insulin injections, IV fluids and oral medication to cats and dogs with special needs.

Through my volunteer activities I have completed dog training courses and animal behaviour courses, which I apply when taking care of dogs entrusted into my care.

This was my first time hiring a cat sitter and I could not be more thrilled with Christina! She is so kind and caring and she communicated with me daily (including photos) to assure me that my cats were well taken care of and happy.

I would highly recommend hiring Christina to take care of your pets. She is wonderful!

Christina is absolutely the best! Very caring, on time, daily communication with pics and we never worry about our cats when Christina is caring for them.
