Back Yard Oasis

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.

Christine was wonderful! We did a meet and greet ahead of time and I felt sure that my dog would be in good hands. She sent pictures regularly and was very flexible on timing. Her backyard was great for my dog to run around in and even had a double fence to make sure she’s kept secure. Would highly recommend.

Christine has a great home and backyard for dogs. My pup seemed to have a great time and is also tired from all the playing he did. I appreciated that she sent pictures and updates. She was also very flexible and truly went above and beyond to help me out when my flight was more than 4 hours delayed. Will absolutely be booking again if I have another trip come up!

Christine was wonderful! She made sure Louie got time outside and sent us lots of photos! I will definitely be asking her to Louie sit again!

Christine did a wonderful job with our pups, who were very well taken care of while we were out of town. Highly recommend!

I have a fenced in yard, which is great for playing fetch. It is actually double fenced for escape artists (like my parent’s dog)! My backyard provides a lot of stimulation because of the birds, squirrels and deer. Dogs love sitting on the couch next to the window or chasing animals in the yard.

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.
