Information Christine C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about any special needs or quirks or animal(s) may have. I am willing to give dogs a bath and I offer a spa night to each animal at the end of each overnight session so you come home to a freshened up and relaxed animal. I am willing and happy to deal with a variety of needs.
A typical day
I love cuddles, fetch, wand play, homemade treats, balanced meal prep, relaxing grooming sessions, pet portraits, enrichment activities such as stretching and massage, and bird-watching videos for cats!

Lawyer by Day, Pet Lover Always
Pet care experience
I am a licensed attorney by day and lifelong animal lover at heart. I currently work remotely with a flexible schedule while spending time in Virginia helping and supporting my mother as she approaches retirement. My flexibility allows me to provide attentive, reliable care for pets throughout the day, evenings, and overnight stays. I began my own small dog-walking business in San Francisco while I was in college and later worked through Rover walking large-breed dogs and cat-sitting while studying for the California Bar Exam and working as a paralegal. I am comfortable with both small and large dogs, but I especially love giant breeds like Great Danes. I also adore cats and currently have my own beloved cat, DJ Mustard, who has made me even more attentive to feline personalities, routines, and comfort. Animals have always brought joy and grounding to my life. I believe pets deserve patient, loving, observant care and that owners should feel completely comfortable while away from home. I am calm, responsible, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and routines. For overnight stays, I also offer optional extras at a bargain cost including homemade pet treats from recipes I have developed myself as well as seasonal or holiday-themed pet portraits and photos. I offer discounts for teachers and service members in honor of my mother, who is a teacher, and my grandfather, who served in the United States Navy. Whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, medication, overnight comfort, or simply someone dependable and kind, I would love the opportunity to care for them.

Reviews
I would HIGHLY recommend Christine Chigbu and her pet sitting services to ALL those who need a dog sitter. I never worried a minute while I was out of town because she had everything under control. She gave me Very detailed reports while caring for my pets. Christine is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. You will not be disappointed! Definitely a five star service.
Davie had a great time with Christine. He was all tuckered out from a long walk and curled up in her lap when I got back - that's a good sign! I love the picture updates she sent throughout the day so I felt like I was right there with them!
