I'll love your pet just like mine!

Pet care experience

Experienced pet owner and teacher with open availability during summer. Offering house-sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins Monday to Friday from 4:30 PM onwards, and weekends as well. Located in Belmont Shore with 24-hour security in my building, next to the beach trail and a park for walks. I can also bring your loved pet to my house for care. Detail-oriented, attentive to pet needs, and open to clear communication for a tailored experience.

Chrissy watches my cat while on vacation and put me at ease. She followed all instructions and my cat responded well to her. I definitely recommend her and I will be using her in the future.

Christine has watched over our home and dog Gus several times. She’s very reliable and responsible. She’s been a long time animal owner and lover. Our dog really enjoys when she comes. She’s a very active dog watcher. Gus gets plenty of exercise and love. Our home is always left very clean and we never worry trusting Christine when we head out of town. I would highly recommend using her for pet sitting or house sitting!

Christine is amazing working with animals. Taking care of my furry friends is one of her specialties! I trust her so much. She is responsible, kind, considerate, and truly one-of-a-kind! I am more than happy to work with Christine in the future and am always glad to recommend her!

Christine took care of my dog Snickers for two weeks. She walked her, fed her, gave her a lot of love and attention. She also gave her a bath before I picked her up. Christine did an excellent job of caring for Snickers. My dog loves her, and if I have to travel again I would not hesitate to take Snickers back to her home for care.

I have a secure luxury living building that has 24 hour security and is pet friendly. I can have pets stay here with me for as long as their owner needs them too. The following list is a detailed outline of how I would care for a pet in my own home or someone else's. Caring for Pets in Your Own Home: Provide a Safe Environment: Ensure that your home is pet-proofed, removing any hazards such as toxic plants, small objects that could be swallowed, or accessible electrical cords. Regular Feeding and Watering: Maintain a consistent feeding schedule appropriate for your pet's species, age, and size. Always provide fresh water. Exercise and Play: Engage your pet in regular physical and mental activities to keep them stimulated and healthy. This may include walks, playtime, or training sessions. Grooming: Regular grooming, such as brushing, bathing, nail trimming, and dental care, is essential for your pet's well-being and hygiene. Healthcare: Schedule regular veterinary check-ups and vaccinations. Administer any necessary medications as prescribed by your vet. Socialization: Provide opportunities for your pet to interact with other animals and people in a safe and controlled manner to prevent behavioral issues. Love and Attention: Spend quality time with your pet, offering affection, cuddles, and positive reinforcement to strengthen your bond. Caring for Pets in a Client's Home (Pet Sitting or Pet Care Services): Meet and Discuss: Prior to the service, meet with the client to discuss their pet's needs, routines, medical history, and any specific instructions. Follow Instructions: Adhere closely to the instructions provided by the client regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and any other special requirements. Maintain Routine: Keep to the pet's regular schedule as much as possible to minimize stress and disruption. Communication: Keep the client informed about their pet's well-being through updates, photos, or messages, especially if there are any concerns or changes in behavior. Emergency Preparedness: Be prepared for emergencies by having access to contact information for the client, their veterinarian, and knowing basic pet first aid. Respect the Home: Treat the client's home with respect, keeping it clean and tidy, and following any specific house rules provided. Professionalism: Conduct yourself professionally at all times, respecting client confidentiality and providing excellent customer service.

A typical day

I love being outdoors and am sure your dogs do too! I would love to go to the park and play fetch, take a hike, beach walk, dog park (if permitted) with lots of love, attention and scratches! If your pet is a cat I love playing with toys, string, and plenty of love and attention so they are purring by the time you get home!
