With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, I’ve learned how to make them feel safe, loved, and understood. To me, dogs aren’t just pets — they’re people with their own unique personalities, and I take pride in giving them the care and attention they deserve. I run volunteer groups at Zumwalt park and take a lot of pride in our doggy community there.

About Christina M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are truly part of the family. I’m with them the entire time, so they’re never left feeling lonely. I have plenty of cozy dog beds throughout the house, and if your pup prefers, they’re always welcome to snuggle up in my bed at night. We enjoy two large walks a day (and often a third smaller evening stroll), along with snacks, games, and fun activities to keep them happy and engaged. When I provide care in a client’s home, I do my best to stick closely to the routine and schedule you’ve set. I know how important consistency is, so I keep things as normal and comfortable as possible while making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for every step of the way.

Information Christina M. would like to know about your pet
Ahead of time, I like to know if your pet has any specific triggers. Like people on bikes or skateboards, other dogs, people in uniform, anything like that. I need to know if an animal is taking any medication or has any special medical needs throughout their day. I also like to find out their affection levels. How many hugs and kisses they might need and if they have any issues around touch. I really want to hear any detail.You can remember to share with me about your dog.So that I can better their experience.
A typical day
I have a pretty busy dog walking schedule, so we do look large, off leash adventure walks. This is time in the forest and meadows and seasonally in the lake. We play ball and have social time. We also do some on leash walks in the neighborhood and toy time for the puppies that like to play with toys.

Pet care experience
Animals have been a part of my life for over 30 years, and caring for them has become my lifelong passion. For the past five years, I’ve run my own professional pet-care business, building long-term relationships with clients who value trust, reliability, and genuine love for their pets. At Gentle Paws Home Care, I provide a calm, nurturing environment where dogs can feel safe, relaxed, and at home. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, they’ll enjoy gentle routines, quiet walks, soft places to rest, and plenty of affection. For dogs who need a little more activity, I also offer my signature adventure walks—hour-and-a-half off-leash excursions that let your pup explore, play, and connect with nature in a balanced, mindful way. My references reflect the consistency, compassion, and professionalism I bring to every animal I care for. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.
Reviews
We felt comfortable with Christina from the get go! She welcomed us and our dog Arlo into her home during the meet and greet and quickly assured us that he would be in good hands. While we were away, Christina sent us photo updates, checked in periodically, and shared with us all of our dog’s adventures! Christina did a fabulous job of ensuring Arlo got plenty of exercise, spent time with other dogs, and received enough snuggles during the night! We can’t wait for Arlo to be able to enjoy his time with you again!!
Christina has been the best dogwalker I could ask for my puppy. She does regular daily off leash walks, the puppy always comes back happy and ready for a nap. He loves going out with the pack and has the time of his life. Things I've appreciated working with Christina: She's punctual and easy to communicate with. I've had schedule changes and different details about drop off/pick up that she's always been willing to accommodate. It's clear she loves dogs and it's easy to have peace of mind when she's taking him out for an adventure. She takes pictures of their outings and I get to see him having fun at the park while I'm busy with other things. I continue to use her services and have zero reservations about recommending her. Great service and a very personable.
We are SO happy we found Christina! Her service is amazing and meets my dog's physical, mental and social needs. We've been looking for someone who does off-leash adventures and are beyond excited about continuing to book with Christina. She is clearly knowledgable, responsable, and loves dogs. My dog comes home from her adventures happy, tired, and ready to relax for the rest of the day. Highly recommend you reach out to Christina!
Christina offers a very special dog walking service which I can highly recommend to dog owners who are interested in outdoor exercise for their dogs. She takes small groups of dogs on adventure walks through forested parks and to swimming holes. My dog Lily has been with her for some time now and simply has a blast being in the outdoors with Christina and the other dogs. Great exercise and a very happy and tired dog when she comes home. I cannot recommend Christina enough.
