RELIABLE & EXPERIENCED
Pet care experience
I have always loved animals as early as I can remember and I never been without a pet in my entire life. I started pet sitting when I was about eight years old. My first "job". I knew I wanted to be in the animal field as a child and so I became a veterinary technician and spent over a decade working in vet clinics (with dogs, cats, birds, and exotics). I've worked in grooming and boarding facilities and of course with pet sitting for decades now. I am skilled with scared pets, senior, and special-needs pets. Having been an animal nurse, I have a total soft spot for these special loves. I am comfortable administering medication - via SC or IM injections, SC fluids, oral, etc. I can do emergency care such as administering enemas for seizures or any needed first aid. If there is an emergency situation, there is an animal hospital in Newfane just a couple miles away. I understand the scariness of a "stranger's" care, but I will respect your relationship and follow your directions to a tee. I know that routine is a huge part of our pets' lives, and obviously you know your pet the best. I insist we do a free "meet and greet" to make sure we are both a fit with each other.
Reviews
Christine C. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.

We always know Seggie is in good hands with Christine! Always communicative with the cutest photos. Handled an unexpected wound extremely well and we are so thankful.

Christine is awesome with Bear! He loves making himself right at home and comes home happy and tired. We get pictures and updates throughout his stay and know that he is having a wonderful time!

Christine has been great with our puppy. She is patient and Kind!!

Safety, trust & environment
I have availability every day. I currently work part-time in a local library a couple days a week, but I work only four-hour shifts, so I am still available every day. I am flexible and easy-going. I am also available all holidays.

Information Christine C. would like to know about your pet
Obviously let me know if your dog doesn't like other dogs. Leash aggression and separation anxiety are important factors to know, and I always appreciate knowing the truth about any quirks that may lead to injury, whether to human or other animals. I am very comfortable with all levels of energy and anxiety, and I can cater a plan specific to any issues if I know about it ahead of time.
A typical day
I love to work on tricks, even with cats! I think it helps a lot with boredom when the pet parents are out of town. I am an avid hiker. There is literally a mountain (Putney) across the street from my front yard with State trails that I can access with a two-minute walk. It's a beautiful spot. I love taking the active dogs along with me, or we can just chill on the couch, with a rawhide perhaps, if that's your dog's preference.

Availability
I am also very comfortable with any pets, not just dogs and cats. In my vet tech career, I especially enjoyed working with snakes, iguanas, ferrets, and large birds. I would love to learn more about exotic animal husbandry and am not afraid to try. I would also enjoy taking care of farm animals. Some of my best childhood memories were taking care of the cows at my great uncle's dairy farm in Maine.
