Devoted & loving dog mom and sitter

Pet care experience

My two dogs are the happiest, most loved dogs you will ever meet. I am devoted to caring for your pets with the same love and joy that my babies receive. I have worked on a farm as a child and owned many pets, walked many dogs for family and friends, and volunteered time taking my dogs to nursing homes to bring joy to older adults. No one will love your dog the way you do, but I will hands-down be their number 2! My husband, Max (#1 Dog Dad) has fostered many dogs as they awaited their furrever homes and may be available to help sit or walk your dogs if I am unavailable at the time. *Ask me about my in-home dog bath!

Absolutely incredible experience. Would give 6 stars if I could. She took many pictures with the pups and sent them along and checked in intermittently. She took the dogs on walks despite intermittent rain throughout the day. I give my highest possible recommendation and will absolutely be a repeat customer. Greg Pereira

Christin is THE BEST! She’s watched my dog twice now, both in my home and hers, and she’s been amazing. She loves my dog like he is her own and her dogs are super sweet too. She’s super responsive and professional and sends lots of pictures! It made going away so much less stressful knowing he was in wonderful hands ❤️

We can’t express enough how perfect Christin was with our pups. She was so detailed, kind, and completely dedicated to them. She was the perfect sitter for our boys and we will continue to use her anytime we need a sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I am respectful of your home and love spending time playing with dogs inside, taking them for walks, and playing with them in the backyard based on your needs. I offer food based on the schedule you provide, always keep plenty of fresh water available for your pet and am open to sleeping with your pet (or in the same room) as my dogs sleep in bed with me at home. I am also willing to crate them for bed or breaks during the day, depending on your individual dog's needs.

Information Christin S. would like to know about your pet

I am familiar with all types of dog behavior and am experienced with providing affirmation for timid dogs, as well as setting boundaries for dogs who like to test their owner's patience. Understanding your dog's temperament and individual needs will allow me to have the most amazing day with your baby. I graduated summa cum laude with Master's degrees in Anthropology and Public Health in 2022 and use the experience gained to understand social, economic, and cultural influences of pet owners and how these systems interact with dog training behaviors.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs by offering different routes each day for walks, and letting them take time to explore the sights and smells they sense along the way. I throw on my hiking boots to hit the trails near my house or yours and make it my mission to enjoy exploring with your dog and reinforcing positive leash behaviors as you deem appropriate. I find that most dogs thrive on eye contact, ear scratching, tummy rubs, and reassurance that their needs will be met.
