Let’s get the professional info out of the way first! Scroll for personal!
My name is Christina or Tina - whatever your prefer! I have 5+ years veterinary experience. I am currently working part time at a vet clinic in Oregon to expand my knowledge and continue providing the best possible care to your babies! With that being said I am well prepared for the event of an emergency and am comfortable administering injections and most medications. I have also worked on many farms, including the Rutgers University farm! I was lucky enough to not only train cows for class, but had a job working as a farm hand with the other animals as well. I have a great amount of experience working at doggy daycares and animal shelters too! I am a, you guessed it, Rutgers University graduate! I majored in Psychology with a minor in Horticultural Therapy and took many animal courses during my time there! These jobs have given me confidence to work with all species and behaviors! Tina’s Animal Care LLC was created as a side hustle in college during 2021 and it became my full time job a year later. I still have my employees keeping my Jersey clients happy, but I am starting fresh again out here on the West Coast!
Get to know me personally!
I just did a big cross country move to Oregon from NJ! It has always been my dream to live out here and I have been loving every west coast minute! I will never forget my Jersey roots but I definitely resonate more with life out here. As mentioned I minored in Horticultural therapy so yes, I am definitely a plant freak. I have plants all over my apartment and love spending my money at the nurseries. I am a huge outdoor gal and am usually hiking in my free time—so let me know if you have any favorite trails! I also love going to wineries and I am working part time at one in Parkdale- come say hi! I am super into holistic living and would love to live on my own farm one day. I even love holistic approaches for our pets too! I make homemade bone broth for me AND my cats Swiss Cheese, Toast, and Pesto! I have a perfect dog Dasher, and finally I have my sweet Doja Cat and Delilah who have passed. In the summer time you will see my tattoos of all of them LOL! I believe that animals teach us unconditional love. I am so grateful for my business and genuinely love my job. Thank you all for making it possible from coast to coast!
