Your dog’s new bestie 💛

Hey guys! Thanks for checking out my page. My name is Christine. Born and raised in South Portland, I absolutely love the greater Portland area. I left the corporate word in 2018 and never looked back. I’m an entrepreneur at heart and love being in control of my own schedule. I currently own multiple businesses and have the luxury of working from home. When I’m not traveling I enjoy checking out new trails/ hikes, coffee shops and of course local restaurants. I hopped on Rover a little over three years ago looking for puppy friends to join me on my hikes and it quickly turned into a full schedule of repeat clients. I’ve had the best time getting to know my clients and their pets. Our home is a loving family unit - my sister lives with me along with her two children (3yr and 5yr) and our 8 chickens. We love welcoming new pets in our home and treat each and every one as our own. My sister has extensive experience with dog grooming and dog care - so between the both of us we can handle anything. I offer lots of different services so even if you don’t see what you need listed please reach out! Another benefit of booking with me is I am part of a large community and have multiple friends who take on my clients when I’m booked or traveling. It works out great when my friends and I can share clients because we can always make it work and everyone has a backup for emergencies!

Christine took such wonderful care of my dog Gracie! She sent regular updates and photos, and I could tell Gracie was happy and herself while with Christine and her family. Thank you, Christine!

Caesar had an absolutely wonderful time with Christine! Great communication, keeping us updated, but most of all lots of love and caring for him while we were away. We knew he’d be in good hands and he was!

Christine is a wonderful sitter! She helped us last minute taking care of our fur kids. She’s excellent with caring for elderly dogs. This was our second time using her and the pups remembered her. Thanks Christine for your help.

Our dog , Penny, felt very comfortable with Christine and she had a great time! She was easy to communicate with, and sent lots of pictures. We will book with her again!

Christine did a wonderful job with our elderly fur kids. They have several dietary and medical needs given their ages and Christine was able to take care of them with no issues. She also took care of our house and left it in pristine condition for us. Prior to our trip, Christine met with us and our dogs for a meet and greet prior to our trip. We immediately observed she is highly professional, attentive, and cares about what she is doing. We greatly appreciate her timely communication, photo / video updates, and help with our pups. She was able to make our time away less stressful for us and the pups over a several day period. We highly recommend Christine. Thank you Christine for taking care of Maya and Butters!!

Schedule

I currently own my own business and travel frequently for pleasure. When I’m home I love being active. My schedule doesn’t allow for me to have my own dog so I love helping friends and family out with their pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a very clean and organized person so my home reflects that. I am respectful of house rules and typically leave a space better than I found it. I like to keep my clients in the loop throughout our bookings so pictures and text messages are something I send throughout the visit.

A typical day

My neighborhood in South Portland is a great location for dog walking. The green belt is my go to for dogs who require a leash. Depending on the time I also love to bring the dogs to Willard beach especially if you allow them off leash.
