Dog Mom and Cat Mom

I have had many wonderful cats and dogs throughout my life. I am an avid dog walker and cat lover. I have had large and small dogs over the years and 4 indoor cats. All of them have had different and distinct personalities, all have been greatly loved. My current dog is a larger dog. All of my pets have been resuces. I bathe my large dog regularly, love giving her "cookies", and even brush her teeth. My cat, Zip, is awesome and doesn't need much care outside of regular feedings and litter box duties. She prefers to come to me when she wants attention and I respect that. Over the years I have taken care of many sick pets. One of our cats was diabetic and required insulin shots twice/day, which I administered. Another of our cats needed an IV intermittently, which I did when necessary. Another needed anxiety meds. Overall, their comfort , health and safety is a priority to me.

Christine is wonderful to work with! Very friendly, calm, and caring with pets. She communicates regularly and sends photos to us while we’re away! We know our four-legged family members are in good hands!

My previous Pit Mix was dog aggressive so I had to be careful walking her in neighborhoods and learned a lot from walking her. My current dog is overly excitable when she sees other dogs and I have also learned from her. I have never had a situation I wasn't able to handle while dog walking.
