Trustworthy + Flexible Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Christine, and I’ve always loved animals. I grew up with dogs, hamsters, and turtles as parts of the family, and began dog-sitting/walking for friends and neighbors about 20 years ago! I have experience with young puppies, senior dogs, and all the ages in between. As far as daily exercise and activities, I can happily tend to your dogs individual needs based on their energy level and age. In addition to my experience with dogs, I also have a lot of experience caring for cats. I’ve been cat-sitting for about ten years. My cat, Kiwi, adds so much love to my home, and keeps me on my toes, too! I also have experience caring for farm animals, including goats, horses, cows, and chickens! I truly believe that pets are an incredible and irreplaceable part of the family, and I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust to care for your precious pets. I've been babysitting for over fourteen years, and I taught preschool for eight years; people trust me with their human children as well as their fur babies! I’m dedicated to earning your trust while providing unlimited love and safety for your pets! Thank you for considering me!

Christine was wonderful with our aging spaniel. She was very accommodating to his schedule and aware of his needs as an elderly dog. We got plenty of photos and updates during the four days she stayed with him at our house. She also watered plants and brought in the mail. We hope she's available next time we leave town. Five stars for sure!

Christine was wonderful with not only our dogs but our goats and chickens as well! She sent me lots of updates which I needed as it was my first time away from the farm! Thank you Christine for caring so much for our animals!

Christine has been a great dog walker for my golden, Hank. She is clearly a thoughtful animal lover and has been a huge help to us during the busy workweek!

I will always recommend Christine to anyone looking for quality pet care. She's helped take care of Laverne when I needed help most. Thanks a lot!
