Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, insured, and devoted
I've had pets my whole life; dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and more! I had to say goodbye to both my senior dogs last year and am ready to share my love and care with other pets. I'm fully insured through Pet Care Insurance and have extensive experience caring for puppies, seniors, and dogs with special quirks and needs. I'm comfortable administering oral medications and highly experienced with senior dogs who require extra patience and understanding. What sets me apart is my commitment to providing thoughtful, individual care for every dog. I believe each pet is unique and deserves personalized attention - whether that means a three-mile adventure walk for an energetic pup or a two-hour cuddle session on the couch for a senior who just wants companionship. I take the time to understand each dog's personality, preferences, and specific needs to ensure they feel loved and comfortable while their parents are away. I also believe in keeping pet parents connected and worry-free during their time away. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see exactly what we're up to. This helps facilitate a more relaxing trip for you, knowing your furry family member is not just being cared for, but truly enjoyed and celebrated while you're gone.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is the only thing that comes above your pet’s happiness. I keep dogs on lead when walking and in fenced areas when off lead. I am fully insured through Pet Care Insurance to give you additional peace of mind. I will always treat your home and pets as if they are my own.
Ratings and reviews
We are so thankful for how communicative, quick, and incredibly thorough Christine is with our pup Karl!! Her genuine, day-to-day care for him is truly above and beyond. With that said our flight was rerouted while in the air due to weather and Christine was watching the flights and as soon as she saw that she texted me that she was already in route back to our home! I could not have been more panicked due to how late it was and had zero ways to get ahold of anyone to help. When we landed my 1st text was from her saying she was on her back to take care of our Karl and that could not have been more of blessing. The peace of mind she gave us in such a stressful moment, well we are forever grateful! 🙏 we were stuck, exhausted, and she was on it! We cannot recommend Christine enough!!! What she did was so far above and beyond, we will always appreciate her for it! Thank you Christine!!! 🙏❤️🙏
Christine was terrific with my boi Archie! She was willing to come meet him in advance of our trip and took the time to ask great questions and get a thorough understanding of his personality/needs. She sent thorough updates with tons of great photos every day and I never had to worry whether he was in good hands. I highly recommend Christine and would not hesitate to book her again!
Christine was fabulous! The dogs LOVED her and she was great about keeping us updated. We know our babies are a challenge and had a lot of medical issues. Christine handled everything perfectly. We would definitely use her services again.
Christine was great! She sent updates with pictures and videos of Peanut and Jerry daily! She took great care of my house and my pets which allowed me to really enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend Christine and will definitely use her again and again!
Wow! Christine is an amazing sitter! My pups were so well taken care of. She let them have their own vacation while mommy was on hers. The pictures she sent me are so beautiful I am literally going to frame some. My house was clean, and she even introduced me to an amazing tool for pet hair (which she used, and I had the equivalent of a small Pomeranian worth of hair thanks to my lil Nick)! Overall, best experience. Mommy and pups are so happy! They can’t wait to see her again! :) Highly, highly recommend!
Christine did an excellent job taking care of our home and caring for our animals. We would definitely ask her to stay again!
