Pet care experience

Pampered Pups Doggie Retreat!

I created this account while looking for a drop in caretaker for my own pup. Since, I have started working from home and changed my account to become a sitter. I have loved being able to help someone else in need of the same services I was seeking and provide a trustworthy caretaker for their pup. It has been such a pleasure meeting & spending time with all the pups who have since stayed at my house. I know how important it is to make sure your dog is well taken care of during the times you're not able to be there for them. Being I work from home, my availability is super flexible. I would love to offer services to anyone who needs daytime/evening care or even an overnight stay for their dogs. I hope I am able to offer peace of mind to anyone else who was just like me and wondering how they would provide care for their dog when not home.

Christine was wonderful and great to communicate with! Took amazing care of our pup and sent an update each day on how he was doing. He’s an energetic dog and she took him for walks and played with him outside throughout the day, I felt he was in great hands!

Christine, I am truly grateful for her kindness and professionalism, which made both Piglet and me feel completely at ease. Christine expertly addressed all my questions, demonstrating her thorough knowledge. She maintains a wonderful, clean, and neatly kept backyard equipped with a secure fence and a convenient dog ramp. It was evident that she genuinely cares for her visitors, ensuring a high-quality and considerate experience. I sincerely appreciate all the effort she put into caring for Piglet. Thank you, Christine, for your exceptional hospitality.👏🏼🐾💯👏🏼🐾💯👏🏼🐾💯

Christine looked after our dog, Charlie, for one week. Overall great experience. Good communication throughout and kept us updated frequently. Charlie seemed comfortable from drop off to pick up. Would definitely recommend

Christine was a dream to work with! You couldn’t ask for a lovelier person to entrust with your dog. She is quick to respond, very communicative and Pickle did not want to leave her side when we came to pick him up! He was doted on the entire time and it showed :) I’m so grateful for how he felt like he was at home with her. Looking forward to working with Christine again in the future!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in, locked at every access point, camered yard - you could say I'm a little obsessed with making sure my pup is always safe. I also live in a quiet neighborhood away from Main St. on a private road with lots of little beaches & bridges nearby for the perfect walk. I have a dog friendly pup to keep your dog company. However, if your dog is not dog friendly, I am also experienced in as I call it "musical dog shuffle" to ensure proper safety for both pups.

Pets

A typical day

I am a huge fan of interactive games! I have just about every snuffle mat / hidden treat game you can imagine. I set these up daily for my pup for mental stimulation. I am also a fan of the Interactive dog channel on Youtube which I leave on all day long, especially if we have a pup staying with us. We have a fully fenced in yard that is perfect for playing ball! I also have a great neighborhood for walking with a cute little bridge overlooking the bay. And if your pup loves walks a nice 2 mile route mapped out. I love walking but in true bulldog fashion my pup only makes it about 2 blocks. So it's always great having a pup stay over who loves to go for a nice walk.
