Christine is the single greatest asset in anyone's toolkit--I truly would not be able to successfully balance my work life, my personal life, and the well-being of my dog without her hard work, flexibility, and excellence as a pet caregiver. I adopted my dog during the pandemic (much like many of us) and when it was time to return to work in-person 2 years later, I was frantic over how I was going to thoroughly exercise and entertain my Australian Cattle Dog. Christine appeared in my life at the exact moment I needed her (thanks, Nextdoor!) and has been a constant ever since. She is reliable, kind, and consistent, and my dog has grown to love her and her husband and their dog so much that I know feel guilty if I DON'T let him see her a few days/week. Her training style is empathetic but firm and the exact kind of authority my sweet and well-mannered but very energetic dog needs. I cannot recommend Christine highly enough for watching your dog(s), cat(s), or even your children. She is absolutely someone you need in you and your pet's life!
