17. Christine G.
“When it comes to pets, Christine (Christy) is as responsible, thoughtful, loving, and selfless as they come! She gave her late dog, Teddy, a safe, healthy, and love-filled life for over a decade. She goes out of her way to show kindness to others' pets and is intuitive about what pets (and their owners) may need. With her balance of energetic activity (read: loves dog walks!) and appreciation for down time (read: snuggling on the couch with a furry friend), Christy's versatility makes her a great caretaker and companion for pets with all personalities and needs. Christy is also one of the most responsible people I know; with exceptional time management skills, she follows through on every obligation and makes others (and their pets) a priority. I would trust Christy with my own dog any day!”
