Love for Your Pup Around the Clock!

My love for animals started early; I’ve been pet sitting since my first job at age 12. With over 20 years of experience (including 4 years on Rover), I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds and temperaments—from energetic puppies to gentle seniors and pups with special needs. I work from home, meaning your pet will receive undivided attention and be treated like a member of the family. My 5-year-old daughter is a fellow animal lover, and together with our docile Mini-Goldendoodle, "Pup Cake," we dedicate ourselves to making our houseguests feel at home. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful for both of you. My goal is to eliminate that anxiety by providing frequent updates (videos, pictures, FaceTime- if preferred) for your peace of mind and abundant affection for your companion. Why choose us? Constant Supervision: I work remotely, ensuring your pet is never alone or unattended. Peace of Mind: I provide frequent photo/video updates (and even video chats!) so you can relax knowing your companion is safe and doted on. Additional skills: I have experience with oral medication administration. Training with puppies

Christine and her family were incredible! She was very kind, professional, responsive and FUN! My dogs had an absolute blast playing with her daughter and their puppy! They went to the dog park, played dress up, took naps - couldn’t be happier and will be a repeat customer 100%

Christine is awesome!!! She sent me updates on and picture of my pooch. My girl seemed to be enjoying herself so much that I wasn't sure she would want to come home. It really gave me peace of mind to know that she was being well cared for. Thank you, Christine.

Christine was great! This was our first time using Rover, and our first time taking a trip without our dog since COVID. She was very welcoming, and our pup felt right at home from day one. Christine also gave us regular updates and pictures, and was super responsive throughout when we had any questions. I will absolutely have her watch our dog in the future and would recommend her!

I was very happy to have Christine watch my dog, Millie, again. Christine and her family are so sweet and I can tell Millie had a blast and was well taken care of. I also appreciate the updates she sends throughout the stay. Would highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

My daily activities have always revolved around the dog's/ cat’s schedule. I allow our guests to roam around freely, and they can relax on our furniture (if that’s something you allow). My 5-year-old will love playing with your companion, too; she’s been around animals since she was a baby, is respectful of any animal's needs. I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood. It's important to us that we follow your special instructions and will feed and walk when you specify. We offer love and diligent care!

A typical day

Every dog has different wants and needs. We are here to accommodate your pups needs... from long walks to roaming and running around in the park, cuddling on the couch, playing games and lots of love.
