Information Christine L. would like to know about your pet

Please share if your pet has any special care needs or prefer a specific routine. I’m happy to accommodate. I have experience with taking care of senior dogs, dogs that require oral medication, and very shy dogs!

A typical day

I provide mental and physical stimulation for your pup to keep them happy and engaged. We go on walks around the neighborhood, and on weekends we go on hikes! In the evening, we cuddle on the couch and watch movies together.

A cuddle-filled staycation for 🐕 ❤

Pet care experience

I am compassionate about dogs and truly want them to enjoy themselves in my home. As an animal shelter volunteer at OAS, I am particularly experienced in helping shy dogs relax!

Christine was incredibly easy to communicate with, professional, and showed wonderful care for my dog Manchi! She navigated her anxiety and quirks so well, took her on a bunch of walks, and even gave me a polaroid of her holding a show, her favorite thing to do 😊

Christine was absolutely wonderful and accommodating my last minute boarding request! She was super attentive and made sure to communicate with me throughout Zosie’s entire stay. My pup had the best time and I can tell she was very well loved and taken care of while I was away. I will definitely reach out to Christine again for any future stays ❤️

Christine has taken care of my dog twice now, and she's been wonderful both times. She's incredibly supportive and stays in constant communication, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was clearly happy in her care. In fact, the second time around, she was visibly excited to see Christine again! That says it all. I have zero complaints. She is great, and I'd recommend her without hesitation.

Christine is such a caring and thoughtful person! She watched our mini dachshund as her own and accommodated her sensitive back needs. Every time our dog sees Christine, it’s a cause of celebration! I trust Christine blindly
