WFH dog lover
Pet care experience
I have had dogs of all sizes in my home for 35+years of my life and greatly miss the joy they bring after our two dogs passed from old age. Now petfree and working a flexible, full-time remote job, with family and a small child, I’m missing the presence of dog to play with and coddle. I’d love to spend some QT with your loved pups to help you out with daycare, walks, drop-in visits or boarding in our home. Because we have no pets of our own, and we only take on one client at a time (exception for two pups from the same home), your pup/s will be the guest of honor and will receive concierge-type care. This helps to transition your pet better to a stress-free environment so that you can rest easy when you are away, knowing they are getting the focused care and attention they deserve. I love to provide great communication throughout the day in the form of many great photos and videos from your pet’s day - photography is a hobby of mine! So my guests typically get an average total of 10-20 fun daily photos/videos of your pet’s day 💗 I can provide as little or as many updates to your preference so you’ll have key updates on your pet’s day but while allowing you to enjoy your time away (emergencies are always notified immediately/ASAP).
Reviews
We loved the frequent updates and amazing pictures! Thank you Christine!
Leaving my pup Clay with Christine was an absolute delight. She sent frequent updates and nice photos, allowing me to see whether Clay was settled in and how much fun he was having. The thoughtful note she left added a personal touch that truly warmed my heart. It’s evident that Clay had an amazing day under her care, and I couldn’t be happier with the exceptional service provided by her.
Thank you Christine for caring so much about making Bindi comfortable and secure. This was our first Rover experience and a terrific one. Thank you!
This was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and I was pretty nervous. However, Christine did an excellent job of easing my worries before and during my dog’s stay with her. She provided regular updates and adorable photos and videos. Would highly recommend Christine!

Safety, trust & environment
We currently have no pets of our own and generally only book one pup at a time (with exceptions for two pups who are from the same household) which allows us to focus on taking care of your loved pups without the distraction of multiple other pets (we only take one boarding client at a time). We have a fully fenced yard and live in a quiet cul-de-sac of single-family homes near a senior community, away from traffic or loud noises. When your pup stays with us, we will treat them like part of our family - they will get love, attention, play, cuddles, quiet sleep and rest when needed. We will balance their time between indoors play and outdoor play (weather permitting) and if your pup enjoys long walks or light jogs we can also take them for a nice walk or jog in our neighborhood. We will always leash up before opening any doors and generally live in a quiet/safe neighborhood with low traffic/noise.

Information Christine C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is up to date on flea medications (required) and if they have any special needs: sensitivities to people, things, foods, other dogs/animals, sounds, actions or words and what types of commands or training they already know (sit, stay, no, etc.). This is an important part of getting to know what your dogs like and do not like and makes for a better experience for everyone. ****Also we require that your pups have a history of being safe around children as the pup will be around my well behaved toddler. Also please note if your pup is comfortable with car rides, ok to attend outdoor dining areas, or is reactive to other dogs, children, people or other things. My policy is not to accept dogs who are: aggressive (bites, nips aggressively or has a history of engaging in fights with people or animals), not-house trained (urinates or defecates in the home, requires potty/puppy pads or is known to chew on household items not designated as play or chew toys), animals that are not up to date on flea medication. If any of these apply, please refrain from submitting a booking. Failure to knowingly disclose this information prior to booking or providing misleading information is grounds for cancellation and forfeiture of the entire booking reservation fees***
A typical day
I will treat your dogs like I would treat my own - loved, cared for, and attentive. We had may senior dogs in our lifetime so I am experienced with special diets (including raw or home cooked balanced meals for my pups), administering basic medications (ear ointments, pills, skin medication), caring for elderly dogs who are immobile or need additional cleaning/care and also with really active dogs, my pets in my lifetime have included two 85lb boxers, a springer spaniel, a shiba inu, two German short haired pointers. We often took our dogs on vacations and road trips as they were more than pets, they were our first kids. As they grew older we adapted to their more sedentary lifestyles and helped them to be comfortable and loved even if it was snuggling on a sofa or playing indoor tug of war.

Availability
I currently work full time, remotely from home so my schedule is flexible and I am able to be attentive and provide full time care for your pups. I have a small child that attends school part of the day so we typically will bring the pup with us for school drop offs or pickups - it’s at a local park so the bonus is your pup will also get to have a walk or two at the park each day.
