Christine and Charles were such a blessing. They are welcoming, kind, and caring. I immediacy felt so comfortable having them watch Ziggy. Ziggy seemed right at home and loved having a new doggy friend to play with. He came back home so happy! We really appreciated all the pictures and feedback. It was so helpful. All positive!!

Christine is one of the most attentive, patient, thoughtful, and intuitive dog caregivers I have ever met! She naturally brings a positive, exuberant energy and a genuine passion for working with dogs. While training Riker (an extremely high-energy and task-motivated golden doodle puppy), I have seen her balance consistently giving praise and positive rewards with setting necessary boundaries. Christine makes sure Riker and his dog friends get plenty of exercise, playtime, and socialization at doggie daycare or the dog parks (sometimes multiple times a day). Christine also carries a depth of understanding and a lens of dog psychology. She is very attuned to dogs' internal states and needs – she always seems to know when dogs are thirsty, hungry, need exercise, or assurance. I have seen her be extremely patient and compassionate to affirm a dog's wellbeing, especially when they may be needy or stressed. She is responsible and very mindful about potential safety hazards and proactively creates a safe and supportive environment for dogs to learn and play in. She is also very affectionate, and seems to enjoy treating dogs with snacks, belly rubs, and affirmations to let them know they are appreciated and valued, beyond their performance in training. Christine also has a great fashion sense when it comes to accessorizing Riker with leash/harness and charming bandanas, and is an amazing doggie stylist for photoshoots. I would absolutely recommend Christine as a dog sitter or caregiver!
