Hi friends! I am a non-smoking/drinking PhD student who works in the medical field. I specialize in psychology and training of special needs/high energy breeds, large dogs, puppies, as well as cats. I have a lengthy history of beginning with childhood animal husbandry including show/farm animals and training medical service animals. I’ve worked for OHSU’s Primate Research Center as well as Wag! Walker and Dog Gone Walking as field trainer/supervisor. I’m a retired Flight Paramedic and former Vet Tech. Let my lengthy history and medical training show you the difference between someone with a side gig and an industry professional. A pet is as unique as their owner and each animal has distinct needs, and expected routines. My expansive history in medical and prior pet care services prepares me for those kinds of hurdles you may worry about. From one animal lover to another, allow me to entrust your family member as part of my pack. I plan on being 100% available to the animals I board or stay with aside from drop-ins to let my animals out. This allows me to still spend time with new animals and maintain my goal of daily exposure to animals besides my own. My home has cameras fully surrounding the property and a fully fenced large forest canopy back yard. I am now “Aunt Christine” to about 10 repeat clients. In your home I’d like to be a friendly ghost. You won’t know I’ve stayed, I do household chores for a fee and often you will come home to a pet who has been freshly brushed/bathed/nails trimmed!
