About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs since I was little. I’ve cared for family, neighbors and friends dogs from house sitting to basic walks. I’m a college student with free time during the day and weekends with plenty of time to give a dog a long and proper walk. I can easily follow given instructions and adapt to make the routine feel normal for your dog. I give them all of the attention and care they need.

About: Until college, I had never lived in a home without a dog. And from a young age, I was taught everything I need to know about caring for them. Between my parents, we currently have five dogs, a cat, and four guinea pigs. My siblings and I have been working hard for years to care for our fur-babies, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I have work every weekday from 8am to 5pm, so I can’t work on weekdays, but I am completely free on weekends to care for your pup! During weekdays, my schedule limits my communication, which is why I offer same day booking and cancellation for the weekends! I can’t imagine a better way to spend my Saturday and Sunday! Back home, I care for all five dogs differently, based on their breed and personality. Our oldest mutt needs constant brushing, our golden retriever needs weekly shaving, our terrier needs to be leashed when outside, our labrador needs her thunder shirt for storms, and our chihuahua needs training to be friendlier to guests. I am prepared for all kinds of pups!

About: I have loved animals of all kinds and caring for them my whole life! Ranging from dogs of all breeds, cats, and even chickens! As a dog walker and pet sitter I will care for your pet like they are my own. I have 3 pups and 1 cat of my own. I have even had chickens for years! There isn’t a pet I wouldn’t feel comfortable watching. As a stay at home mom I have a completely open schedule and would love to help you whether that be daily walks with your furry friends, drops in for play time and snuggles, or even watching them at our home if you need some time away! I am comfortable administering medications and working on any commands you prefer while walking and dropping in. I like to schedule a meet and greet before any pet sitting or walking to go over any safety concerns, meet your pet and build trust. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! Send me a booking request and we can get some dates in the books whenever you need! I am a stay at home mom with unlimited availability! I am free for walks and drop in’s daily. As well as overnights on request (both cats and dogs) after a meet and greet with my animals as well! I have a half acre fenced in yard for your pups to play in! I have 3 pups of my own that LOVE to play and fetch and will get lots of energy out of your dog if they stay the night. I have crate space as well if your pup is crate trained!

“Great with my dog. Would definitely recommend”

“I just love this human for my pup!!!!! My pup LuCee is a very picky girl. On the meet and greet LuCee fell in love with Christine!! I could tell immediately it was a great fit. I was given details of Christine's visit and can rest assured LuCee is good to go till I get home. Having such an amazing person take care of my fur kiddo is priceless and gives me the peace of mind I need so I can finish my day!!! I appreciate Christine's phenomenal service!!!”

About: I have always grown up with a dog and find them to be a lot of fun! I would love to bring a dog along for evening walks or stop in to check on them. I have experience caring for dogs to make sure they are taken care of for the weekend. I am a college student and my schedule this summer will be fairly flexible. I am free most evenings and normally throughout the day as well. I have a lot of experience in others peoples homes, as I babysit and have dog sat for numerous families in my community. I will be respectful and responsible if entering your home and when taking care of your furry family member.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have cared for all kinds, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. My family has always been full of pet lovers and our home has always welcomed animals of all shapes and sizes. Growing up,I learned how to care for pets kindly, patiently, and responsibly. I currently have a cat of my own, and she truly is my pride and joy. I also regularly care for the pets of friends, coworkers, and family members when they’re out of town or need extra help. I’m a huge animal lover and have a very soft spot for pets. I truly care deeply about their well-being. I’m especially attentive to making sure animals feel safe, comfortable and loved. I would love to provide that same level of care and peace of mind for you and your pets! I work full-time, but have the option to work from home whenever needed, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m especially available after 4 PM, but I’m happy to make other times work as well. I can bring my work computer with me if needed and take breaks as I please, so I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Your pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow care instructions closely and make sure pets are supervised, secure, and stress-free. I pay close attention to their behavior, routines, and any special needs they may have. My home is calm, clean, and pet friendly. I make sure doors and windows are secured, remove any potential hazards, and provide plenty of space for pets to relax and feel at home. I’m very attentive during walks and outings and always use leashes, unless otherwise instructed. I treat every pet as if they were my own and worked hard to build trust so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

About: I have fostered close to 50 cats ranging from 3 days old to 19 years old. I have two cats of my own and had a dog for 13 years. I have done many overnight dog sitting stays as well as a few cat sitting stays. I love the outdoors as well and going for walks with dogs is one of my favorite outdoor hobbies! I am a full time college student during the school year, but my summers are spent doing part time jobs so I have extra free time to spend time and care for lots of animals! I have experience with big dogs, little dogs, and cats of all ages and personality types. I love socializing with them and getting some energy out by going for walks, playing fetch, or even just some extra snuggles!

About: I’ve cared for pets for years and love working with animals of all personalities. I’m reliable with routines, walks, feeding, and giving pets the right mix of play and comfort. I always treat every animal like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently in high school and work part-time, but I still have plenty of availability for pet care. I’m free most evenings and weekends, and I’m good at planning ahead to make sure your pet gets consistent attention and care. I always make sure my schedule is reliable, so you can count on me to show up and take great care of your pet. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I follow all instructions carefully, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure pets are never put in unsafe situations. I give updates so you always know how your pet is doing, and I treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: I have 7 years of experience volunteering at a cat shelter, caring for kittens, senior cats, and cats of all ages and personalities. At home, I care for 6 cats and 1 dog, giving me hands on experience with everything from playful energy to senior care and multi-pet households. I am currently home for the summer, so I have plenty of time to care for your precious pets! I have flexible hours and am able to work around your schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. In clients’ homes, I respect both the pet’s routine and the home itself by following all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level, making sure they feel secure while their owners are away.

About: I’ve gotten a lot of practice in dog sitting with 2 different roommates I lived with who had dogs, whether it only be an overnight of caring for them or an entire trip’s worth time. And I really bonded with both dogs! I just love animals in general too and am looking forward to caring for more furry friends now that I don’t live with one anymore! Over the summer I work one part time job so I should have availability for visiting them either morning or evening or both. Sometimes I will have daytime availability as well. I enjoy a semi active lifestyle, so I would be very open to getting outdoors with your pet too! During the school year I work 2 jobs, so my flexibility may be a little more limited come fall, but I should still have some availability. Happy to try to work things out with scheduling! When I have lived with pets, I do like to provide them with lots of love and make sure I can balance my schedule to at least spend a little time with them each day. I make sure they are able to get outside and exercise if they and their owners wish.
