Nurturing Pet Care

I've been a small animal veterinary technician for more than 10 years. My specialty is senior care, including managing cats or dogs with diabetes or kidney disease. I previously had a cat-sitting business when I worked at The Cat Practice in New York City in the mid 1990s. Here in Maine, I have had occasional pet sitting jobs. I am also an experienced horse owner.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For home visits, I will spend at least 30 minutes with your pet at each visit, if not longer. During that time I will play with them, take them for walks (if canine), or sit quietly if a kitty or older canine prefers. I will feed, ensure they have fresh, clean water, and maintain litter boxes if feline.

I'm very attached to my chickens and I was nervous about finding good care for them while I went away for nine days. Someone suggested I check out Rover and I'm glad that I did! Christine was communicative and asked to visit once ahead of time to acclimate herself to my routine with my flock. She took notes and I appreciated her taking the time to know where everything was and her willingness to try to stick to the routine that my birds know and expect. I have a camera that overlooks my backyard. It's there to watch for raccoons or coyotes, etc. I pointed it out to Christine when she came that first day and then she likely forgot about it. I'd get alerts on my phone on the other side of the country, telling me someone was in the yard and that's how I know Christine was always there every morning and evening. I could hear her greeting my girls and chatting with my chicks. She would text here & there as I asked her to, giving me updates and sharing any concerns. When I got home, I could see that my flock had been well cared for and my chicks and pullets had grown! Christine did a wonderful job taking care of my animals while I was away and I'm hoping she'll be available to care for them in the future. I couldn't have asked for more. : )

Christine was great, she tried very hard at making my pets comfortable while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for over night care for your pets.

Chris was our fabulous neighbor who just happened to be a vet tech! We have a bunch of cats, three right now but Chris was lucky enough to live next door to us when we had 5! What a gift to be able to leave town and know that someone like Chris is looking in on our pets. Right now we have a cat who needs an inhaler twice a day. What a relief for us to have someone like Chris to provide the level of care he needs daily, allowing us to leave home if we’d like. Chris IS the person you want to check in on your pets. She’s amazing.

I am very happy to share my experience with Christine and my pet. Christine was my neighbor and was the go-to person to help any of her neighbors with cats, dogs, and even a parrot. She is great with animals, and I personally appreciated all the assistance she gave me with my cat who needed some special attention later in his life. I wholeheartedly recommend Christine to work for Rover. Com.
