Professional dog cuddler/pamperer!

Pet care experience

I recently graduated from UCSD and am now currently in a gap year as a young working professional trying to gain experience before applying to PA school. In my free time, dogs are my passion. I've walked dogs through Wag, dogsat through Rover, and fostered dogs through Labs & More Rescue until I foster-failed my 3rd foster, Hazel. Hazel and I normally frequent hiking spots, dog parks, and dog beaches. I recently moved back home, so Hazel and I live with my parents who have their own dog who can be territorial around the house so unfortunately I cannot offer dog boarding services. I would love to housesit, walk, or drop in to visit your pup in my free time though! I am very responsible and will make your dog my top priority. I also have some of my own clients that I walk and dogsit for as well.

Christine was absolutely fantastic with our nervous senior dog! She was patient and gentle and we're so happy to have found her. Her communication was top notch and we look forward to using her again.

Christine was amazing Especially with my anxious timid rescue pup. She was able to get her to warm up to her quickly and even take her on walks. She was super communicative and my house was left exactly how I left it. I would highly recommend Christine. I have used a lot of sitters in the past and fully trusted her and did not worry. She is super caring too.

Where do I Start? This was the very 1st time I had to leave our pup with a sitter and I was beyond anxious because well I have never done it before and he has separation anxiety! I couldn’t have asked for a better, sweeter, kinder person than Christine. Her kindness and patience with charlie amazed me. I felt so comfortable by the time I left the house. She kept us posted with updates and pics through the night and kept our boy company ❤️ She is an amazing human and so kind to pets. I saw her interaction and was so relieved when charlie started warming up to her. Can’t recommend her enough . We will be rebooking on a monthly basis with her for sure. I can’t appreciate you enough Christine 🙏🏻♥️

I have a lot of experience taking care of other people’s pets and I have a huge heart specifically for rescue dogs. I have experience with and lots of patience for dogs who may have trust issues or have separation anxiety. I continue to volunteer for the rescue I adopted Hazel from and I have a lot of experience walking big often untrained dogs.

Information Christine F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has specific needs that I should account for so I can make sure they are their most comfortable when you are away! Again, I love and understand rescue dogs may have their quirks and I am more than willing to work with you and your pup however you may need.

A typical day

I live within walking distance to a dog park and canyon trails. I will take your pup for long walks, playtime, and/or cuddle time depending on their wants/needs.
