As a healthcare worker, I usually work three days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule the rest of the week to focus on pet care. On my days off, I love spending time with animals—it’s honestly one of the best ways to unwind and bring joy into my routine. Whether it’s daily drop-ins or walks, I have the time, energy, and passion to give your pet the attention they deserve. My healthcare background also makes me dependable, calm under pressure, and very attentive to detail—especially when it comes to routines, medications, or special care needs.

6 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine—and I make it my priority to provide care that’s tailored to them. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies who need consistency and structure to sweet senior dogs who need patience, gentleness, and extra love. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always keep pet parents in the loop with updates and photos. Whether your pup needs a walking buddy, cuddle partner, or someone to reinforce training, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.

Information Christine J. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know anything that will help me give your pet the best care possible. Please share their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any medical needs or medications. I’d also like to know about their energy level, temperament, and how they do around other animals and people. If they have any quirks, fears, or special comforts that help them feel safe and happy, I want to hear about those too—every detail helps me make their time with me stress-free and fun

A typical day

When I’m with your pets, I love making sure they’re happy, active, and loved. We’ll go on fun walks to explore new sights and smells, play fetch or tug-of-war, and enjoy cuddle time for those who love it. If your pup enjoys training games, I’ll incorporate stimulating activities to keep their minds sharp. For more relaxed pets, we can lounge together while I give them belly rubs or brush their coat. My goal is to make every moment with me feel like their own little adventure.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each animal as if they were my own—whether that means being extra gentle with senior dogs, helping reinforce training with energetic puppies, or making sure your shy or anxious pet feels safe and loved. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, ages, and temperaments, and I pay close attention to your pet’s unique needs and routine. Communication is key, so I always keep owners updated with photos and notes to give you peace of mind while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be in a caring, responsible, and attentive environment.
