Pet care experience

Retired RN

As a retired RN and I put safety first. I’ve had pets my whole life and have experience helping others with their pets. I’ve also experienced care of sick animals. My goal is to take care of every breed! I’m taking care of dogs rescued from a kill shelter to highly expensive well bred dogs. I love cats as well and own a ragdoll boy and a shelter girl. I find myself feeding fish a pinch or two! If your dog loves to walk I do walk approximately 10 miles daily so they will be well exercised! I’m half Native American with the blessing of great instincts and intuition. I’ve developed a subspecialty as I have several clients whose fur babies suffer from anxiety. I bring my yoga mat and meditation music and allow them to approach me as they get comfortable. After 25 years of oncology and hospice Nursing it’s my pleasure to care for your pets.

Christine was punctual, efficient, and spent extra quality time with Weechee. Weechee tragically lost his Kahu without warning in April. He usually will barely eat the first time someone cares for him. Christine not only played with Weechee, but had him join in on a daily yoga session which helped keep him calm and form a special bond with her. I highly recommend her as your pets temporary Kahu!

This was my first time booking with Christine and she did such an amazing job with my two cats! I'm particular about their food setup and care and she was just as meticulous as I am following instructions I left, including a unique situation requiring keeping my cats fully separated. She understands cat behavior well and went out of her way to make sure both cats were comfortable with her - even my shy skittish boy warmed up to her by day 2. My cats actually looked a bit disappointed that it was me when I came home! I wouldn't hesitate to book with Christine again. Thank you!!

Christine was a great pet sitter . She took excellent care of our 2 cats and handled giving daily medication to one . She was very caring and spent extra time brushing them. She is good at keeping in touch and sharing photos. I would definitely recommend using her .

Gonzo just loves Christine! I was never concerned because Christine checked in regularly and everything went great! She even gave me some tips about his Medina routine! Chefs kiss!

House Sitting • Sep 14, 2026

We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, we knew our dogs were in the best hands. Christine was incredibly caring, attentive, and reliable, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were being so well taken care of. Christine kept us updated, sent pictures and videos, and went above and beyond to make sure all dogs were happy and comfortable. It was clear how much she genuinely cared, and that meant so very much to us. We came home to 3 very happy dogs, and we will absolutely ask Christine to sit for us again in the future. Highly, highly recommend! 🌟 Thank you Christine for taking such great care of Sperry, Bear and Buc! They miss you already! 💙

Let me know everything I will need to know to provide exceptional care for your pet. I’m very intuitive and animals know that so we quickly develop a strong bond. For example the last dog I stayed with wanted to eat meals together. So we did!
