Avid animal lover since ‘97

Pet care experience

Ever since I was a small child, my parents have had up to three dogs at any given time. Most of my aunts and uncles have a good mix of either cats or dogs. Growing up I volunteer at Animal Friends (rabbits, cats, and dogs) This fueled my love for animals even more. I can give all medications, accommodate almost anything you need for your dog to be safe in my home and specialize in puppy care! (They will probably come home with a new trick!) A little bit about me and my home : I have a cat named Stan Lee who is in home, but we have a dog gate up for him to have a safe place to resort to when we have dogs over. Recently he’s been better with exploring and even playing with some of the pets I have in home! He’s not aggressive with them just very unsure but he keeps to himself. (I know it shows I have a dog, she is my parents' dog and they use my profile to book for her when I can’t watch her!) Your dog(s) will be able to go out every 2-4 hours with either my self or my partner (who you will get to meet so you can feel safe leaving your pups here) so your pup(s) will get the best care and walks possible! We live in Mount Washington, our apartment is in the heart of this little area. The apartment itself is a converted home, we live in the back. We don’t have a fenced yard, but we do have access to a dog park close by and plenty of alleys and grass areas to take your pets to. I recently bought several outside leads so your pup is able to have as much outside time as possible as I work from home/do school from home! (I have a security camera I can use to check on them while they are out there) We have two crates at home (I don’t ever plan to have your pet alone for more than an hour) but I also have extra rooms for the ones who can’t be crated. I also own plenty of toys. But you’re welcome to bring whatever your pup needs to be comfy. I ask you to bring: food, treats, a crate (mainly is you have an extra large dog or if they/you prefer they use their own) medications (if that applies to your animal), and a bed/blanket (or something that smells like you). Aside from those things I have your pup safe and close to me at all times so you know your pet will be happy and cared for :) Fun fact: the way I message my clients is like we are long-term best friends, I can guarantee I will tell you every little cute thing they do when in my home/care 💜

Christine seemed to be very attentive to our dog. She sent lots of pictures and even taught him some new tricks. She sent pictures of him on walks and in the home. She communicated times when she was going to be leaving him at home and verified if that was okay.

I got a 9 week old puppy and needed someone to watch her while I worked nigh shift. Christine takes great care of her and my puppy is so excited to go to her house. It makes going to work so much easier knowing my puppy is happy.
