About Christina

I have three cats of my own and they are my life. I get very anxious about them when I leave home, so I would love to be able to provide that peace of mind for others when they have to leave their furry friends behind.

I am able to do home visits in the Auckland North Shore area, once or twice a day. I can give your cats fresh food and clean water, administer any medication and am happy to clean up litter boxes. I'll send you pictures and/or videos of them and would be happy to water a few plants while I'm there. I can spend some time playing with them and giving them love and attention.

I have extensive experience with cats and kittens and have been involved with cat rescue work since I was a child. We have had hundreds of cats rehomed through our household, including quite a few stray litters.

My eldest cat (16) has been receiving IV fluids for some time now, so I am comfortable with providing similar services for elderly cats. I specialise in kitty cats that have anxiety, stranger danger and/or aggression problems. With enough patience and kindness I believe any cat can be won over. I also work very well with humans that have anxiety, having suffered with it most of my life.

I am in my late twenties and work full time in the insurance industry. I moved to New Zealand from South Africa in 2017 and brought my three lovely cats with me. I consider myself to be responsible and patient, and would take very good care of your precious fur children.

When our flights were delayed by five days, on a very short notice, Christina was there to save us and our cats!

She truly cares about animals.

I can't recommend her enough!

We're using Pawshake for quite a long time, and Christina was one of the best sitters we hired!

We left our cats and the house to Christina for 6 weeks while traveling overseas. She spent time to befriend our shy cat, sending us photos everyday, even watering our plants!

She went out of her way to resolve the issue with our WiFi (we were using it to connect to our cat cameras).

I highly recommend her!

I have significant experience with feral cats and have been involved with rehoming rescue cats since I can remember. I have been treating my senior cat with IV fluids for a while now, and have administered IV fluids to multiple foster cats in the past. I also have extensive experience with bottle feeding young kittens. I am able to confidently provide oral and other medications. I don’t believe I’ve ever lived somewhere without a cat, I’ve had my current eldest cat since 2007. I love spending my time with animals and am able to cater towards all kinds of kitties. I have successfully tamed many feral cats, and am happy to cat sit for cats with behavioural problems. Over the years I have gathered a lot of knowledge about how to deal with behavioural problems so could pass on a helpful tip or two (especially for those who’s kitties have started urinating in unwanted areas).
