Availability

I recently started a full-time position and work four days per week from approximately 7:45 AM to 6:00 PM. Pet care fits into my schedule through early morning visits before work, midday drop-ins during my lunch break (typically between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM, depending on location), and evening visits after work. My weekends are also available for pet care services. I maintain a consistent schedule and make sure I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so pets receive reliable, attentive care and plenty of attention while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, I care for my cat by maintaining a consistent daily routine. I feed her twice a day, in the morning and evening, and make sure she always has fresh water. I clean her litter box daily and brush her regularly since she has longer fur. I also pay close attention to her behavior and overall well-being, making sure she stays comfortable, healthy, and stress-free. I enjoy spending time playing with her and keeping her environment clean and calm, which helps support her routine and happiness. These same habits carry over into the care I provide for other pets— prioritize consistency, cleanliness, and attentiveness, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for while following their normal routines as closely as possible.

Information Christine F. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate knowing about any special needs, medical conditions, medications, behavioral quirks, or specific care instructions ahead of time. It's also helpful to know how your pet interacts with other animals and people, whether they're shy, anxious, reactive, or have any triggers I should be aware of. I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable, so the more I know about their personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and favorite activities, the better I can tailor my care to their individual needs.

A typical day

The activities I do with pets depend on their age, personality, energy level, and individual needs. For dogs, I'm happy to go on walks, play fetch, play tug-of-war, or engage in other activities they enjoy. For more active dogs, I can help them burn off energy through play and exercise, while senior dogs or those with lower energy levels can enjoy a slower pace, extra attention, and plenty of companionship. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with their favorite toys, as well as providing affection and enrichment based on their comfort level. Some cats love to play, while others prefer a calm companion nearby. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable, happy, and cared for by tailoring activities to what they enjoy most.

Pet Lover & Vet Experience

Pet care experience

I've been caring for and pet sitting animals since was around 13 years old and have experience with pets of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I've cared for large and small dog breeds, cats, rabbits, and fish, including both young and senior pets with different care needs. In addition to years of personal pet sitting experience, I also have a background working in a veterinary clinic, where I supported pet owners and helped care for animals in a fast-paced environment. This experience strengthened my ability to stay attentive, patient, and calm while ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable. I currently have a cat and a dog of my own, and I've even taught my dog a few tricks, so I understand the importance of consistency, positive interaction, and building trust with animals. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to treating every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.

We had a wonderful experience! They took great care of our cat, kept us updated with photos and messages, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them!

Christine was wonderful! So reliable and kind. I felt at ease knowing my kitties were in safe hands. She even took the time to stop by for a meet and greet before I left town. So grateful I found her!
