About Christina
Hi there, pet parent! I'm Christina, a US-expat living in the Lombok area. As a fellow pet parent for as long as I can remember (30+ years now as I won't count being a young child!), I understand the stress about finding support when you need someone to help with watching your furry friend. Currently the pet-mom to cat, Loki, and dog, Wilson. I also have experience with elderly pets that need extra special care (medication, vet visits, puppy pads, diapers, etc.).
Back in the US, I would help watch the pets of my friends both at their home and mine when they would go on holiday. Moving abroad, I desperately felt the stress about finding my own help when needed and thought I could help others. I started pet-sitting here in Utrecht in 2023.
I was made redundant in 2024 and pet sitting helped me heal from burnout and all the strange feelings that come up with redundancy. I have my own small (and new) business as a grant writer for US nonprofits, yet still maintain pet sitting appointments as it brings me so much joy.
Services I offer:
- Dog walking - able to do multiple walks a day (20 -30 minutes each). Please note that for walks 1 hour+, there will be an additional fee.
- Drop Ins - typically between 20 - 30 minutes, depending on the needs of your pet(s). Should you require more time or more of a babysitter (1 hour+), additional fees for my time will be required.
- Home sitting - including feeding, administration of meds, brushing, baths, with cats - litter box cleaning, including overnight stays, and of course, lots and lots of love.
Should the distance to your home require me to take public transport, I kindly ask for this amount to be reimbursed.
Please do not hesitate to reach out, and we can discuss your needs. I understand wanting the best for your pet and am happy to work with you to ensure you feel stress-free.
Fun fact - I make it a habit to become friends with all the street animals on any of my travels. My husband finds it equally annoying and hilarious.
Please note that I will not be available from August 27 to September 23. December holiday time is still TBD.
Should I not be available, please know I have others I can recommend for both drop in's (cats, specifically) and house sitting or boarding (both dogs and cats). Please don't hesitate to ask! I'm always happy to share good services!
