Safety, trust & environment

I will always keep them on leash unless you specify otherwise/ have a safe space for them to roam freely in your yard! I never leave them unattended outside, even if they are bigger and could handle anything. I always make sure if they go in crates to never leave them long and make sure it’s shut right so they aren’t able to get out. If they are not crated, I make sure there is nothing to hurt them before I leave!

Information Christine F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any specifics! Animals all have their own little quirks (they’ll only eat if their food bowl is half full, they only go to the bathroom after dinner, etc) or any medical conditions they may have. I also like to know how they react to the other dogs / humans / kids incase we encounter any on our walks !

A typical day

I really like to go with the flow the dog. If they want to be outside playing, then I’ll do that. I love going for walks myself, and it’s even more fun with a dog, so they get lots of walks. If they’re on the older side and they’d rather sleep or just hang around, I’ll lay next to them and give them all the belly rubs of their hearts desire. Same with cats, some cats want to be up playing and some want to be left alone, I use my best judgement based off social cues I’m getting!

I love every animal I meet !

Pet care experience

Whether your pet is furry, scaled, lives in water, has 4 legs, 8 or 0, I love them all the same ! I’ve had years of experience feeding, walking and playing with all sorts of different types of pets. From playing outside, going on walks or snuggling on the couch, I’m game for anything and let them set the tone. I’ve always had different types of pets throughout my life from dogs, cats, fish, turtles, reptiles and more ! I can’t wait to meet your pets !

Christine was a wonderful sitter for our cat Ellie! Ellie always takes a little to warm up to new people, but Christine won her over! I knew Ellie was in good hands while we were away.

Hi. I'm Cora, and I'm a silly, pretty girl almost 2 years old. My parents asked Christine to stay with me at my house while they went away. It was really fun and I wasn't scared at all without Mom & Dad because Christine was so nice to me. She played with me a lot, served my meals on time, always left me fresh water, and gave me a whole bunch of treats (don't tell). She even took me to daycare so I could stay in my regular routine. And before my parents got home Christine gave me a lovely brushing (who knew I could be even more beautiful?) and I enjoyed it so much that I went right outside to roll in the grass to celebrate! When my parents returned home they were very happy to see how happy I was and because our house was nice and tidy, and even Mom's baby plants had been watered. I was sad that Christine had to leave but she said she would come back anytime Mom & Dad have to leave, so I am hoping they go away soon and often. I'm super excited to have Christine be my new friend.

1st time booking Christine to sit for my pup. Everything went along great. My lab seemed happy and content when I arrived home.

Christine pet sit for our dog Daisy and took very good care of her while we were on vacation. We could tell right away that she is good with pets when we met her. She dropped and picked her up from daycare ( I wanted Daisy to continue her daycare since she is a social dog) and also spent full days with her on the weekend. She took her for walks, played with her, and made sure she was fed. She kept us updated with pictures.. She also took the initiative to take care of some house chores which we greatly appreciated. We will definitely call her again!
