Highlights
Pet care experience
12 yrs of professional experience!
Professional pet care since 2014! I have a lot of experience with large breeds and bully breeds. Willing to work with any kind of animal, dogs, cats, reptiles, horses, rodents, chickens, goats, and fish. I offer drop ins and dog walks mostly on weekends as I work full time, but will consider midday visits near downtown South Bend. I have volunteered with animal rescues in the past. I always send a lot of updates with pictures while you’re away and will water plants, bring in mail, etc. Lots of cat experience as well!

Safety, trust & environment
Even if theres a fence, I will go outside with your pet to make sure there is no escape and that they actually potty. I have a lot of experience with crate training. If there is no fence, dog will be kept on leash outside at all times.
Ratings and reviews
This was our very first experience using Rover, and Christine exceeded every expectation! Right from the start, she made us feel completely confident that our precious fur babies, Bevo and BG, were in the absolute best hands while we were out of the country. Thank you so much, Christine, for all the wonderful updates, daily pictures, and total peace of mind while we were away. Knowing they were so well cared for made all the difference! We would book Christine again in a heartbeat—100% recommended!
Christine is always reliable and loves the animals.
Christine takes great care of our pup and always gives a great update of her visit!
Our kitties loved Christine! She was very responsive and offered to help out longer when we extended our vacation. She sent pictures and little recaps every visit. Our kitties can be shy but they warmed up to her quickly. Would love to have her watch them again!
Christine was an excellent sitter for our cat while we were away for a week! She was organized with her care schedule during the busy holidays. Thank you!
Absolutely perfect! Communication was amazing, she recognized health symptoms and brought them to my attention, it made our time away from home so much more relaxing knowing the cats were being taken care of so well. We will for sure be repeat clients, thank you thank you thank you!

Schedule
I work full time during the week but am off on weekends. I can offer morning and evening visits during the week, more availability on weekends. Midday visits only if they’re near my work in downtown South Bend.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsChristine can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I need to know if your dog has special needs, behavioral issues, special rules or medication. Dogs thrive on routine and I want to make sure I'm sticking to their established routine. I have a lot of experience with nervous dogs who have anxiety and can read animal body language pretty well. I go very slow with these nervous babies. It is PERFECTLY ok if you're dog is not my best friend. Not all of them will warm up to me and that's ok! All dogs and cats are different. My husband works most weekends so I will often have my daughters with me. They have been taught about proper pet interaction. Often times they’ll stay in the car with their tablets. Please do not book If this makes you uncomfortable.
