Avid dog lover for life

I have owned dogs for 30 years. All have been loved and spoiled while maintaining healthy fit lifestyles. Let me do the same for yours. I have been a hospital pharmacist for over 25 years. I currently work from home on the overnight shift covering hospitals remotely with every other week off! I can even work from your home with an internet connection allowing me to do overnight stays at any time. This allows me great flexibility to help out with your dogs, especially for dog sitting at your home. I do have 2 of my own fur babies so there may be occasions where I need to drop in on them. I will keep the time away to a minimum so I can dedicate my attention to your pets needs. I am a active person who can take long walks or throw that frisbee multiple times for those energetic dogs. But I can also tone it down and give relaxing massages and slower adventures based on your dogs individual needs.

Just picked up our dogs from another “Camp Christine” doggie vacation where they enjoy long walks, deer watching and overall were spoiled and loved for the duration of their stay!

Christine was amazing. Sent pictures daily with an update. I was so thankful my babies were taken care of by her for she treated them like her own. When I came home it was just as I left it. I will definitely use her again and I highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I will always keep an close eye on your pets to make sure they are safe. When with me, they will be leashed when taking outside unless it is an enclosed spaced. I am insured with Petcare Insurance to provide financial protection in case of an accident.

Pets

A typical day

I will provide the safest environment I can for your dogs while you are away. I believe dogs are most comfortable in their own neighborhoods/back yards so I will let them be my tour guide and show me their favorite places. I will keep your dogs away from other people and animals to prevent any bad encounters. As much as your dog may enjoy a trip to the beach or the dog park, this introduces too many variables I cannot control. So, my policy will be to spend time close to your home. Except in cases of emergency or with your prior written agreement your pet will not be transported in my vehicle. When doing daytime care, I would like to be able to take short breaks for errands, if necessary. These will be kept to a minimun with no more than 3 hours per day away from your pets. This will give me time to check in on my own dogs or grab something to eat. Please let me know if this would be a problem so I can make arrangements for my pups.
