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!

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat all dogs in my home as if they were my own. I WFH for 5 days a week and my husband WFH for 2 days a week, so there is almost always an adult human in the home. 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!

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. 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.

A cuddle-filled staycation for 🐕 ❤

Pet care experience

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. As a fully remote worker, my flexible schedule allows me to be present for the dogs in my home. 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 and is kind to other dogs! Over the years, he’s helped me rehabilitate many of our shy and injured foster dogs.

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.

Christine is amazing. She gave frequent updates, and treated our dogs like her own. We have found our new go-to Rover! Highly recommend. Thanks Christine! ❤️

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
