Lover of all animals big and small!
Pet care experience
I love animals and treat them all as kin. I don't just provide a pet sitting service, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy throughout my stay with them. There's never been a time in my life that I haven't had a animals. As a result, I've grown to love them. I've had experience taking care of an elderly blind and deaf animals, underweight baby furries who require oral insulin shots, diabetic animals who need twice-daily, on-time medical shots, animals that need secured overnights and timely potty hours/eating hours, animals that need to be separated from one another, and rambunctious animals who need to find a way to get out some energy. (And, if your animal requires a sweater or scarf, admittedly, I've made those, too.) I care about your fur-baby’s well-being, and I will do whatever I can to make sure they're comfortable.
Reviews
She’s the absolute best!
Christine was great: She was punctual. Friendly. She understood my instructions first time around. Sent me update texts that Bella and her were doing great and not to worry! She was really communicative with Bella You can instantly feel that she loves dogs. Bella got attached to her and has been looking out the window for her . You will be very happy if you use Christine’s services.
Christine was great! She was flexible with our schedule and she took great care of our dog Lucky! I will be using her again:)!
Christine was so kind when she came to meet our Bob! You could tell right away that she was an animal lover who made our pup feel safe! Very grateful for Christine, and would absolutely recommend her to any pet parent!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for them based on their needs. Every animal is different and requires a different routine, which I adjust to and continue to adjust as needed. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space, taking care of it in the same manner I’d expect someone to take care of mine. Everything is put away and cleaned as used, and I try to best leave the space in a way that you’d never notice someone was there at all.
Information Christine C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if they have any medical needs, proper and clear directions on how I should administer these needs, and if there's something I can do that will relax them while carrying out these needs. If your dog is more on the aggressive side, then this is something I would like to be addressed prior to us scheduling a sitting/walking. If your dog doesn't get along well with other dogs or enjoys aggressively chasing squirrels or other animals, then this is also something I would like to brace myself for prior to taking them for a walk or outside of the home. If there's anything I can do to calm your dog while you're away, please let me know. Do they have a favorite toy? And, finally, where do you keep the treats (this includes cupcakes for me)?
A typical day
The time I spend with your dog will be based entirely on your dog's personality. If your dog enjoys going for a hike then I'm happy to take them; however, if they require a more lax street-route, then I'm happy doing that as well. I gear the activities your dog(s) and I will partake in towards whatever it is that they need. No dog is the same, and they all require something different. I enjoy taking the time to figure out what that something is.

Availability
Pet care is my number one. Because they can’t communicate their needs with us, I have an in depth conversation with owners before they leave. I curate my week around the animal’s needs and anything that pops up that seems out of sync with what I know of the pet, I communicate it immediately to the owner.
