Dogs are the best!

I‘ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember. I was a dog mom to a nervous border collie lab rescue when I lived in Brooklyn and have been dog sitting as favors for friends and family for the last couple of years and loving it! It’s so fun getting to know so many different pups each with their own unique personality. I have experience and can handle small to medium dogs or large dogs who are good walkers. I love dogs and genuinely enjoy walking them and having fun with them in the outdoors! Can tailor walks to what each dog enjoys- we can walk along the river, or head to the nature preserve or do neighborhood walks of varying lengths depending on what’s needed.

Dog Walking • Mar 25, 2025

Christine really came through for me when my wife sprained her ankle. She wasn’t able to walk our new rescue dog, and he’s currently untrained and quite a handful. Thankfully Christine came through for us despite all of that and actually had no problems walking him during that time. She’s super friendly and very communicative. We look forward to having her walk our boy again soon.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 14, 2025

Christine has been our go-to dog sitter for Nimbus, and we couldn’t be happier. Nimbus absolutely adores her and runs up the stairs to her house, tail wagging, every time. Christine treats Nimbus like one of her own, and we always feel at ease knowing she’s in such caring hands. She keeps us updated throughout the day with photos of Nimbus on walks or playing with her adorable dog, Lexi. If you’re looking for a reliable and loving person to care for your pup, I highly recommend Christine!

Christine is one of the warmest people I know. She’s been out neighbor for about 5 years now and she and her family LOVE dogs! We have left our dog, Blue, with Christine and her family while on vacation, on a few occasions over the years with the utmost confidence that he was in the best possible hands. Christine is very trustworthy and reliable and any dog would be super lucky to hang with her. When I’m out walking Blue and we see Christine, Blue makes a made dash over to give Christine kisses. Christine and her family are like Blue’s second family and we feel so lucky t have Christine as a big part of our dog support system!

Christina has taken care of our sweet Spaniel mix Pipa on several occasions. Christine she has proven to be a loving and responsible caretaker for Pipa. It's always a great sign when your pup is happy to return to someone's home, and Pipa is beyond excited whenever we pull up to Christine's house. My husband and I can feel calm when we travel without Pipa because we know she is in excellent hands! Highly recommend.
