**Availability** I’m currently studying and writing short stories, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m pet-sitting because I love animals, but also to fund my pursuit of the creative life :)

Safety, trust & environment
My most popular service is house-sitting. I will feed your pets, play with them, take them on walks, brush them, bring in your mail, send you your preferred amount of photos/updates, and leave your home cleaner than when you left it.
Information Christine K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs especially around food/mobility, or any house rules to observe like areas that your pet is not allowed to prowl.
A typical day
I love taking dogs for walks in the neighborhood, at parks, or even to the dog beach for a real treat! I can play catch with playful pups, give lots of cuddle time / head scratches / belly rubs to lapdogs, and give respectful space to any dogs who just need a break from it all. With cats, I understand that it depends on their temperaments a lot. Some cats will approach me after I feed them a couple times, and I'll pet/brush/play with them. Other cats need to be melted slooowly & I am careful to respect their boundaries and create the safe environment they need to slowly warm up to a stranger.

Pet care experience
**Experience** I love small-to-medium-size dogs, and have also been known to charm cats of a wide range of temperaments. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs and cats, and pets with special needs. **Why Christine** My small roster of high-priority petsitting clients (frequent travelers, people who work very long shifts, etc.) choose me because: 1) FAST RESPONSES - I have that "couple minutes" response time on Rover for a reason! 2) THOROUGH UPDATES - I'm happy to send pictures, cute 'lil anecdotes from your pet's day while you're away, and I always raise any concerns or other observations to owners. 3) RELIABILITY - I am selective about clients so that I can deliver *really* top-notch pet care to a smaller number of pets and owners :) If you have multiple pets and/or have frequent needs for pet-sitting, please reach out and we can come up with a system that works for you. **Service Ethos** - I always do meet & greets to make sure you feel good about having me in your home and around your pets! - I will always be transparent about my schedule/responsibilities so that you can have clear expectations about my services. - If you’re looking for someone who is readily available & can deliver fuss-free pet care without any worries, I am the petsitter for you.
Reviews
Christina was great. Very attentive to my dog. He is a very anxious dog and it was comforting knowing she was taking care of him
Christine was absolutely amazing! We were hesitant in finding a house sitter for our dogs and cats as we’ve had a bad experience in the past, so I feel so lucky finding her! She cared about the wellbeing of our pets, sending photos throughout the day, giving us piece of mind. One of our dogs has major separation anxiety so she made sure to give him extra TLC. She took great care of our apartment too! I love that she was communicative and just had great energy. Christine will now be our go-to sitter for as long as she is available.
Christine is AMAZING sitter. She is responsible, caring and communicative. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing that our boys are in good hands. I so appreciate her updates/photos throughout. Thank you Christine for taking care ouf our boys!
Christine is AMAZING!!! I can comfortably travel knowing our dogs are in good hands. She is caring, responsible and communicative. So grateful to find you Christine. We appreciate you so much!
