Calm, Loving & Fun Pup Partner❣️

Pet care experience

I take this job very seriously, even though I’m overflowing with fun and love for your treasure. I’m professional, responsible, accountable and trustworthy. When you trust me with your pet, you trust me with your life. I’m a top-shelf dog companion, a certified dog therapy team member/volunteer & foster abandoned dogs & puppies. My professional expertise spans over 15 years. I’ve had dogs all my life, COULD NEVER live without them. My clients rely on me to house sit, walk, play, exercise, practice training, provide affection, massage, feed, administer meds & nurture EVERY POSSIBLE NEED/DESIRE they have. << I also want you to know that I dedicate my time with your pet(s) to the Memory of Einstein Rouk, the greatest love of my life.>> PLEASE NOTE: My professional service rates can be flexible, depending on individual circumstances. I’m solution-oriented, so I always discuss the specifics of your needs. We’ll figure it out!

This is the person you want watching your precious fur kids. Kind, caring and compassionate. She sent photos and updates while watching after our two pups.

Christine did a great job walking my two Goldens…an excellent communicator, always on time and I enjoyed all the photos she sent. I plan to use Christine again in the future for walks and house sitting! Thanks Christine!

Information Christine G. would like to know about your pet

I ask lots of questions when we first meet. I want a crash course on your little one(s). This helps me quickly adapt to their character, needs and care. I will also ask about your pup’s home environment. And, I’ll meet with you as many times as you’d like before our scheduled appointment.

A typical day

I have care taker instincts and love personal interaction. It’s important that together, we reciprocate Trust, Respect and Love as soon as possible. Every pet is different, so adaptability is key. Our interaction could be affection, cuddles, games, toys, exercise, grooming, naps, learning, love and any combination above; most especially honoring who they are. I enjoy being outside when possible, going on walks/hikes, swimming, relaxing and finding other playful adventures. I supervise all socialization with other dogs/pets/new people too. If we’re out, leashes are ALWAYS on, unless otherwise instructed.

I am home full-time, with some remote projects. I have all day and night to pour TLC over your loved ones. When I’m hired to care for pets, that’s priority, it’s exactly what I do. I’m well-educated in canine behavioral training and certified by Alliance of Therapy Dogs (ATD) as a dog therapy team member/volunteer. I have a beautiful, sweet pup of my own (see description). I leave it up to you, as my client, to determine if her company would be beneficial for your treasure(s). I have pre-arranged care for her, when needed.
