Information Christine J. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know dietary and special needs, along with typical eating habits (regular food and treats). Is he/she used to going to the bathroom on a leash or yard? Does the sun/heat/cold/rain bother him/her? Where does your dog like to sleep? How is she/he with other dogs? Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should know about.

A typical day

I like to take dogs for walks around the neighborhood. My kids love playing with dogs and definitely help tire them out by throwing the ball in the yard. Dogs who love looking as birds, squirrels and deer will enjoying looking out the window into the backyard.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their dogs because I treat them like my own. I will take photos of your dog and send them to you while your dog is with me. You'll always know how your dog is doing.

Georgie always has the best time with Christine. He’s welcomed as part of their family and he never wants to leave! Thanks again for the great care.

Christine was great with my shyer pup. My dog gets a bit nervous the first day away but she seemed happy and cuddly and not wanting to leave her side by day 2. We will definitely rebook in the future!
