Dogs and I are a perfect fit!
Pet care experience
Services I offer: - Walking: I enjoy taking walks and being with dogs so we might as well go together! - Pet/Housesitting: What I do: I have been pet and house sitting for 6+ years. I follow owner instructions for care; I make sure they are well watered, fed, and attended to. I know pets like walks, belly rubs, and exercise so I give them lots of that too. I am careful to follow any instructions for medical care including medications. I keep the home neat and tidy. What sets me apart: I think about what an animal needs and taylor my day accordingly. I will never leave your pet at home for too long and they will always get the chance to go potty as often as they need. The pet comes first in my life when I am caring for them. I am also considerate of the home and treat the space of others with respect.
Reviews
Christine was wonderful with our cats. As an added bonus, she detected an electrical issue in our home while we were away, called the fire department, and likely saved our home from burning down! Thank you!!
Christine did a great job sitting our 3 fur babies (2 dogs and a cat) for 8 days. When she came over for a meet and greet prior to our trip, the dogs acted like she was part of the family and our cat did not run away – amazing. One of our dogs is a senior and gets medication twice a day and our other dog has anxiety. Communication while we were away was prompt and she sent pictures when we were missing them. Our flight arrived very late so it was especially nice to find the house tidy and our pets completely relaxed. We would definitely recommend her services and look forward to future sittings.

Safety, trust & environment
During a walk-only visit, I plan on following the owners instructions for care. I will always carry water with me! During house-sitting visits, I plan on following the owners instructions for care, as well as making sure they have plenty of food, water, exercise, potty breaks, and belly rubs!
Information Christine G. would like to know about your pet
Do they like other dogs and people? How are they with kids? Do they have any special needs? Do they have any personality traits I should know about? Do they have a tendency to nip or bite?
A typical day
It depends on the dog and their particular needs, as well as what the owner would prefer. If the dog likes to play ball and frisbee, then we'll do that! If they enjoy parks (and are good with other people & animals), that's what we'll do!

Availability
I have full availability. I currently do not work and can care for pets anytime. The pets would get to be with me for most of the day during house sits.
