Highlights
Pet care experience
A cuddle-filled staycation for 🐕 ❤
I am a compassion-driven dog-lover who strives to provide a peaceful and relaxing stay for your pup. As an animal shelter volunteer at OAS and rescue dog owner, I have experience working with dogs from all walks of life! I’m particularly experienced with helping shy dogs and senior dogs relax in new environments. I am a fully remote worker, which allows me to be present your dog during their stay. Your furbaby will also have my dog Shrimp as a companion! Shrimp is a calm little dog that loves lounging in the sun and napping on the couch! He’s a very sweet pup that adores getting attention from people and loafing around with other dogs in the sun! He’s not particularly playful, he just wants to chill. Over the years, he’s helped me rehabilitate many of our shy and injured foster dogs.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Christine went above and beyond starting with a meet n greet in the neighborhood, to ensure Zassha felt at ease with her and her adorable dog Shrimp. Nearing and during sitting time, Christine was incredibly communicative the entire time, with updates/pictures to let my wife and I feel reassured our dog Zassha was in good care given it was her first time at their place. We wouldn't hesitate to have Christine sit our dog in the future if they would have her back!!
My pup loved her time with Christine and Shrimp! Christine kept me updated and sent great pics. Would definitely recommend!
Christine was amazing!! I had a last minute trip and was still unsure of the exact boarding dates I needed when I booked, but she was very understanding and accommodating. She was so kind and did a great job taking care of my dog - she kept me updated with lots of pics and even gave me a cute card and polaroid pic :) I highly recommend booking with Christine
Christine was great, very kind, communicative and caring. She took great care of our puppy! 😊
Christine was so wonderful with Manchi, as always, and also helped me with a last minute daycare booking!
Christine was an amazing dog host! Great communication, caring for my senior dog, and we did an intro with her dog Shrimp ahead of time to make sure they would hit it off together. She sent pictures and updates, and was very accommodating for our crazy schedule. 10/10, would absolutely hire again.

Schedule
I WFH full-time from Monday to Friday, so I provide breakfast and a AM walk just before I start my work day. During the work day, your dog will have access to my private fenced yard for potty breaks and sunbathing. After work, I provide a PM walk, dinner, and evening cuddles! For weekend stays, we are flexible based on your dogs preferences! We love going on outdoor adventures if that is something your dog is into. For dogs that prefer a lazier weekend vibe, they can sunbathe with Shrimp in my backyard while I do gardening!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will treat all dogs in my home as if they were my own. There is almost always at least one adult in the home, as I WFH for 5 days a week and my husband WFH for 2 days a week. For longer stays, your pup may need to be alone for 1-2 hours here and there so we can run regular household errands. Our yard is fully private, fenced and secured to ensure a safe environment. Because this will be a new environment, some dogs may start off shy or unsure of themselves. I always take special care to provide a calm/safe space for your dog to ease into their surroundings and warm up!
Pets
A typical day
I provide mental and physical stimulation for your pup to keep them happy and engaged. During the weekday, we will go on AM and PM neighborhood walks (around my WFH schedule). On weekends we go on hikes! In the evening, we cuddle on the couch and watch movies together.
