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 a wonderful choice for Bernie Mac’s boarding stay for one week. We did a meet and greet before the booking. She communicated well throughout the entire time. Sent us photos and reassured us that he was okay. I am so glad I chose her to watch him and would definitely rebook again in the future! I know he was in good hands and that made going away so much more of a relief, knowing that our baby is being cared for. Thank you so much Christine! She is truly the best!

I can’t say enough amazing things about our experience with Christine! From the initial reach out throughout our dog Zoë’s stay she was extremely responsive and communicative which helped put me at ease from the start. Zoë can be a bit selective and from the moment she met Christine I knew she was not only in great hands, but was going to have an amazing time and she did! My biggest concern was getting Zoë to leave with me when it came time to pick her up—she had so much fun! We would 100% recommend Christine as a sitter and can’t wait for Zoë’s next “vacation”.

Christine was great with Louie. She gave us daily updates with pictures. She treated him very well and he came home happy. Will definitely use Christine again in the future.

Christine is fantastic! We boarded our 9 month old Bernese Mountain Dog with her for the weekend. From the moment we stepped into her backyard Mr. Winston wanted to play and hang out. Would highly recommend!

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.
