Pet care experience

Keeping pets happy and healthy!

I have had pets of all kinds my entire life; both large and small dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, lizards and a snake at one point. I am excited to meet you and your pet or pets. In 2020 and 2021, I fostered dogs with Arizona Small Dog Rescue. I started professionally pet sitting in the North Phoenix, Anthem, Glendale, and Scottsdale areas a few years ago before moving to the Prescott area. I prefer to have a Meet & Greet with you and your pet prior to all of my services. Scheduling a Meet & Greet gives me the opportunity to meet you and your pets, go over their routine, and address any additional concerns or questions you may have.

Walking: Walks can include a timed walk around your neighborhood with your dog, responsible disposal of pet waste during the walk, food/water refill on returning home, & photos if requested. I am happy to walk your dog in your neighborhood or local park. I have experience with street safety training and have taught my own dog to wait before leaving a curb or crossing the street. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or if your pet has specific needs you would like to discuss. Daytime Drop-in Visits: Day Drop-in Visits can include refilling food & water, playtime, medication administration, & photo or video updates. Feel free to message me to discuss any individual needs your pet or pets have, I am happy to accommodate. House Sitting: I will stay with your pets overnight (8PM to 8AM) in the comfort of your pets’ own home while you are out of town. This service can include feeding, playing, walking, medication administration, photo & video updates of your pets, as well as general house sitting services, such as checking the mail, taking the trash bins out, & watering plants.

Dog Walking • Oct 08, 2021

Christine was phenomenal! During a family emergency that required us to leave town, Christine took wonderful care of our dog and even warmed the heart of our older cat. She went above and beyond in every way including sending us multiple pictures every morning and night, giving both of them love and treats during each drop in, and taking our dog on various adventures through the neighborhood. She treated our fur-babies as if they were her own and we knew they were in great hands while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Christine and would use her again in a heartbeat.

Christine has been house sitting and dog sitting for us for the past 7 years. She is responsible, conscientious, reliable, and smart. Christine has been great about walking our dog, feeding her, and giving her medicines. Our dog treats her like part of the family. I highly recommend her for a job at Rober. I would be happy to answer any additional questions you might have.

Christine is a fantastic dog sitter - she has cared for my family's dog, Rachel numerous times over the years, and I cannot recommend her enough! Our dog is getting older, and Christine is very understanding and attentive to our dog's needs. She has cared for Rachel while the dog was on medication, and has not only administered the medication to our elderly pup, but has been an excellent communicator about Rachel's wellbeing while we are out of town! Christine has been great with every dog she has pet sit for, and was even fostering dogs during the lockdown!

If your pet or pets require special care, such as daily medications, places or things to avoid, or any fears/anxieties, please let me know ahead of time. I prefer to have a Meet & Greet with you and your pet prior to all of my services. Scheduling a Meet & Greet gives me the opportunity to meet you and your pets, go over their routine, and address any additional concerns or questions you may have.
