Pet care experience

Small, medium and large animals!

All types of animals (cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, horses, llamas, goats, sheep) have been part of my life forever. I love all animals, most of them more than humans! Currently 2 large dogs, 3 cats, 4 chickens and 1 human are my "family". Previously I lived on 36 acres and took care of my horse, 2 donkeys, a herd of goats and chickens. I recently retired and am looking to fill some of my time taking care of your animals and home. I am happy to take care of any types of animal and will provide love and care for your pets while your away.

Fantastic service, just as last time! She really spoils the boys. My pets were happy and pretty sure my house was cleaner than I left it after her visit! Thanks again!

Christine was amazing! She took on our last minute request and still managed to come and meet our pup beforehand. She took such great care of her and sent us regular updates. She even went out of her way to do some cleaning of our house before we got home. Would definitely hire her again!

This was our first time using Christine, and we feel we hit the jackpot. She took care of our complicated cat family, administering medications to our older cat. Christine also took care of our two-250lb horned pack goats. She was attentive to all of them, sending us pictures and updates. And the best surprise was that we came home to a house cleaner than when we left it.

Christine is great! She was very communicative before the trip and during (as we requested) - we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pets were well cared for. We came home to a house that may have been cleaner than when we left and very happy kitties.

We are very impressed with the care Christine gave the boys. She is very knowledgeable and patient which helped with my senior dog l who is a picky eater and the young pup who is not immediately everyone's best friend. Also, I appreciate how available she was on short notice because life for us is often hard to plan so far in advance. Absolutely planning to use Christine again soon.

I’ve known Christine Dambach for nearly 20 years and can say without hesitation that she is a person of great character and integrity. When it comes to caring for animals, Christine is the first person I call. She has watched over our dogs, cats, chickens, rooster, and horses on several occasions, and each time I’ve been able to rest easy knowing they’re in excellent hands. Christine is not only dependable, she truly knows animals. Her calm presence, deep understanding, and genuine love for animals make her an exceptional pet sitter. I completely trust her and highly recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind while they're away.

A typical day

Depending on the dogs environment and temperament I would take it on a walk 1-2 per day, and if it likes to fetch, throwing the chucker ball makes a great exercise. Playing tug, or just cuddle on the sofa, trying to make the dog loved while it's family is away.
