Super Available Pet Lover

Pet care experience

I absolutely love animals and currently own 3 kitties - Pico & Chica (both 6 years old), and Lincoln (8 years old). I grew up with animals (dogs and cats), and have always felt a strong connection to them. My passion to care for animals really kicked in during my junior year of college when my roommate and I fostered a litter of 7 three-week old kittens. Two of them became foster failures (my roommate kept Stanley, and I kept Lincoln). I lost my job as a result of COVID 19, and am now committing to full time animal care. Because I understand the bond shared between a pet and their owner, I will strive to keep your pet happy while you're away - whether it be through drop in feedings, stop by play dates, trips to the park, or overnight company. I also understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry friend behind, so I always keep open communication and provide as many updates as you'd like! I'm also open to caring for all types of animals and have experience watching cats, dogs, and even hedgehogs! I look forward to spoiling your pet :)

Christine was very reliable and responsible. She was very patient with my unfriendly cat and did a great job in her daily visits. We got daily reports about our furry monster. I felt comfortable and at ease leaving her my keys and beloved cat from the moment we met. Will book again. Thanks!!

Christine was a reliable dog walker/caretaker during my absence. She came in twice a day to take Holly Berry for a walk and/or to play with her in the backyard. For each visit, I received notification of her arrival and departure times as well as an activity report. She also sent me photos of my pooch playing or walking. Both communication and reliability were first rate. I will definitely hire Christine again and would recommend her to others who need a reliable person to either visit or stay with their pet.

Christine and Happy got along really wonderfully. Christine took Happy out twice while we were at our son's wedding. We felt comfortable leaving our much cherished Yorkshire Terrier under Christine's capable hands. Would highly recommend her!

I am happy to stay at your home while you are away. This includes sleeping over, feeding, and walking your pet. I understand the anxiety of leaving your pet behind and am happy to provide pictures throughout my stay !

A typical day

Since dogs are so filled with energy, getting sufficient exercise is detrimental! Your pup and I will go on nice long walks, jogs, and adventures to the park where we can really let loose and play around! I will also try to follow your routine as closely as possible so as to keep your pup comfortable :)
