About Christina

Hi there, I’m Christina! Let me tell you about myself…I’ve been a part of various pet sitting services for about 3 years on a part time/as needed basis with 5 star reviews across the board, and I’ve loved it!

My love for animals can not be expressed so easily, but I am truly passionate about their welfare, and them living their best life possible!

My background started with volunteering at opening gaits, a therapeutic riding centre for children with challenges, then moving on to the zoo, MEOW foundation, and various veterinary clinics where I assisted with IV restraints, pre care with operations, and post care op. My experience led me to work in a 24 hour emergency hospital as a receptionist where various tasks including animal care were performed.

Fast forward to today where I provide services on various platforms for pet services, with boarding, walks and check ins included in my resume.

On a personal level, I’ve had my own fur babies that have all passed now, but I’m well versed in IV fluids, medication administration and diabetic insulin injections if the need arises for your pets. Hospice care has unfortunately been a specialty of mine with my own pets, but I believe it kept them stronger for more years because of my dedication.

In regards to boarding: pets must be vaccinated, free of fleas/ticks or any creepy crawlers! :) Owners must assume responsibility for cost to sitter if any issues arise with damage or infestation to property. Must be amazing with kids over 10, able to be alone without causing damage to property, and no history of biting to people or other animals. Preferably 3 pets maximum, from the same family. I’ll ensure your pet is safe while staying here, with walks in our nearby walking path/park, and lots of home like attention. We truly love your pets like they are our own while here.

Thank you for the chance to care for your loved family member:)

Message me for any other questions you may have!
