Pet care experience

Loving, flexible, patient, clean

FULL TIME AT HOME, FLEXIBLE, OPEN TO LONGER BOARDING STAYS! In the past 4 years, I have raised 2 beautiful puppies. They are very loving. I live in an area that is very close to many dog friendly parks. I’m about 4 blocks from the beach and 4 blocks from a dog park. I am very open to taking care of dogs that require a little bit more TLC (Time, Love, And Care) than the average pup. So whether you have a little puppy or an elderly dog, I love putting in the effort to make sure they feel loved and taken care of. Elevator access available: perfect for senior dogs or pups who can’t use stairs. There is also a convenient grass patch right outside the balcony for quick potty breaks.

We had an excellent experience using Christelle as a Dogsitter for our beloved Goldendoodle. She was responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates. Our dog immediately connected with her when we dropped her off. We will definitely use her again!

Christelle is absolutely AMAZING!!! She is everything you would want and more in a dog sitter. Our pup has been experiencing some separation anxiety after a move, and she was so patient and calm with her adjustment into her environment, even updating us on her interactions. Christelle was kindly accepting of our request within minutes of dropping Olive off, and her responses and updates again were very professional and out of the way to make sure we were informed. We had some harder news reach us in our personal lives this night, and showing up to a kind soul with our pup very happy was a really beautiful relief in the night. Thank you Christelle! You did more than just pup sit! If you’re wondering about booking her, rest assured your pup is in the right spot.

Christelle was so great with my puppy! He had a blast with her dogs, too. She was easy to communicate with and very flexible and understanding with some last minute changes. Would definitely recommend!

Schedule

I’m currently taking online college classes which allows me to be home most of the day and provide frequent supervision, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention for your pet throughout their stay. Currently I’m best suited for calm/low to moderate energy dogs, seniors, and pups who are comfortable with a more relaxed environment.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every dog in my care like one of my own. I maintain a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where dogs are always supervised and made to feel comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions provided by their owner. My goal is to make every pet feel secure, loved, and at home while they’re with me. Water is always available and bowls are cleaned every night.

Pets

A typical day

Since I’m home most of the day, your dog will rarely be left alone. We spend our days going on walks, playing, relaxing indoors, getting treats (if approved), and enjoying plenty of attention. I treat every dog like part of the family while they’re in my care. 🐾

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medications, allergies, or behaviors I should be aware of. It’s also helpful to know how they do around other dogs, people, food, and toys so I can make sure they’re comfortable and safe during their stay.
