Experienced, responsible dog lover!

Pet care experience

I come from a family of dog lovers and grew up around dogs, both large and small. I have trained, fostered and owned rescued dogs for most of my adult life. I recently retired from corporate America and am delighted to have the honor and opportunity to care for other dogs while their owners are in need of assistance. I am very fit and healthy and would love to help your dog get the attention, care and playful fun that they deserve.

Christine has now stayed in our home to watch our 12 year old Springer Spaniel multiple times. Christine sends us text updates and pictures daily which always brightens our day. Our dog takes multiple meds during AM and PM feedings and demands an afternoon walk, Christine has no problem administering the meds and meeting her special requests for walks. Christine is great with her and we know our dog loves her because she's even tried to jump in bed with her a few times to snuggle up at night.

I've had the privilege to call Christine my friend for over 20 years. She is one of the most responsible, loving, caring individuals I've ever known. However, dogs are her downfall, she can't walk down the street without stopping to say hello or give a pet to a furry stranger who will quickly become her friend. Her own dog, Lindsey, was greatly cherished and treated like royalty until she passed, a very painful time for Christine. Dog sitting would be the perfect fit for Christine, the only problem I can foresee is that the dogs will fall in love with her and not want to leave!
