Your fun/caring daytime dog walker!

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover/advocate all of my life. I grew up in a home where we took in every stray cat (most of them had kittens in my mother’s closet), and always adopted our family dogs. In high school, I worked for a gal that raised and bred Schnauzers, and had a thriving grooming business. In the summer I had my own dog grooming business at home and gave my clients their summer shave! All of my family pets have been rescued, and now I have 3 rescued dogs, and a cat. I love walking my dogs, sometime twice a day, for their and my exercise, but it just makes us all happy ( and tired). And yes, I walk all three together, as you can see in my pictures. My availability is flexible during mid morning to mid afternoons while you are at work, and can work with your dog sitters to schedule walks when you are out of town. I am constantly increasing my knowledge about dog behavior and training techniques, to make your dog’s experience fun, and maybe teaching them a thing or two. I am also a firm believer in sending pictures during my service, keeping you up to date on of how your dog is doing!! I require my dog sitters to do the same. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!! Christine

Christine was an absolute joy to work with. She was attentive to Finn’s needs, and very thorough in his care. I was really impressed with her training knowledge and how she handled Finn’s puppy energy. I’ll be sure to use her again in the future!

Chris is fantastic! She is so sweet with our growing and somewhat bitey puppy, Maple. Chris always shows up, spends the full amount of time with our pup, and gets her a good amount of exercise.

Information Christine F. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how your dog reacts to other dogs, especially on walks. Are they fearful, are they friendly, or aggressive. I would prefer not to schedule a walk with an overly aggressive dog.

A typical day

As a dog walker, I like to vary the route of the walks to provide different experiences and smells for your dog. I think it is important for your dog to stop, smell, and explore during a walk. Also I am starting to teach the “WATCH” command, with treats, during walks to get your dog’s attention if there are distractions during the walk. One of my dogs is slightly dog aggressive, so this has been great to distract her when another dog is coming our way.
