I have an 8 month old Cavapoo baby boy and I was nervous about finding him the proper care so that can get away for the weekend. When I found Christpina, I was instantly put at ease and all my doubts went away. She answered all my questions and assured me my baby boy would be well taken care of AND HE WAS! Christpina is very organized, experienced and provided my baby boy with the comfort of her own home for the weekend. She would update me with pictures daily. She’s also very knowledgeable which saved me the time and hassle of explaining my dogs care to her. My dog instantly got a liking for her. I will definitely be using VueforPets again! Thank you Christpina!

I decided to enroll my puppy in the Board and Train program and was very satisfied with the results! I wanted to be proactive in helping my puppy establish a foundation for good manners and behavior as this period is the most optimal time for him to learn. Christpina did a really great job of training him and providing updates and pics/videos of his progress. By the end of the program, the training came out pretty well. Christpina also does a fantastic job of teaching you, answering any additional questions and providing resources to continue the training at home. I would definitely recommend this program for anyone interested!

Christpina is an amazing dog trainer and lover of pets and animals. When my family and I were looking to bring a new addition to our family, she was there walking us through the puppy training process. She had so much paitence with our new puppy corgi whether it was potty training or tricks. She also was very knowledgable in dogs, we were confused to why our Corgi kept nibbing at our ankles - so she gave us a backstory to the Corgi breed and their quirky traits.

My Lily - chihuahua mix, was giving me such a hard time with potty training. She would be good one day and then have an accident the next. This went on for 2 weeks. I felt like giving up, but then I stumbled on VueForPet's puppy training and decided to give it try. Christpina was very friendly, honest, and detailed with her work. She even created a scehdule that I had to follow along with for 2 and a half weeks to establish a routine for Lily and it worked so well with her. Tough at first becuase I needed to ground myself, but it worked amazingly!

When I considered adding a sibling for my son, I thought of a puppy.
I had no clue of the type of breed I would seek out that isn’t too big when at adult phase, doesn’t shed, good with kids, not too small, & is easy to train. That is when I reached out to Christpina for her help & she suggested the Schnauzer breed. I immediately fell in love when I found my baby boy #2, Bun, who is a miniature Schnauzer.
When I brought home my son’s first dog (my emotional support friend), Christpina was the one I turned to for all the questions and worries I had. She guided me through the puppy phase because I never really had a dog for my own, especially it being my son’s first too, so it was good to have Christpina along the journey (practically). Before I officially brought my friend home, Christpina went as far as meeting with me to go shopping for all the items I would need: dog bed, water/food bowls, shampoo, brush, etc. Then at a later time, she virtually (via video call) helped me pick out the food, toys, & other specific needs for my puppy. With her guidance and help, it was a breeze of welcoming my son’s little brother & my baby boy #2.
I highly recommend VueForPets for any help if you’re new to owning pets. Christpina definitely has a lot of passion and love for animals, mostly particularly dogs (in my opinion). Nonetheless, she is very knowledgeable in the pets world.

I can't recommend VueForPets enough! We brought our chihuaha papillon mix to her when he was just a puppy and struggling with several behavioral issues. He was extremely needy, barked at the doorbell and visitors, and had a tough time with potty training--he even bit a young family member when she tried to pet him! We were overwhelmed and didn't know where to start.
Christpina immediately put us at ease with her patience and understanding. She assured us that we weren't alone in our struggles, and her guidance was a game-changer. She helped our little guy calm down, listen to commands, and stop barking at every sound or visitor. Thanks to her techniques, he also stopped peeing on our carpet (though he still marks his territory occasionally during walks, but that's manageable).
What truly sets Christpina apart is her genuine care. She not only worked tirelessly to improve our dog's behavior, but she also checked in with us even after the training sessions ended to see how he was doing. She went above and beyond, ensuring we felt supported throughout the process.
If you're looking for a trainer who is skilled, compassionate, and truly invested in your pet's well-being (and yours), I highly recommend VueForPets! You won't regret it!

Christina was fantastic in helping with my German Shepherd, Mila. I wanted to see if she could become more social with other dogs, and Christina provided expert guidance throughout the process. Thanks to her patience and knowledge, Mila made great progress, and I feel much more confident with her around other dogs. Highly recommend!
