About Christine L.
Communication

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With my background in training and years of hands-on experience, I understand how important it is to build trust and create a secure environment. I take the time to connect with each pet so they feel safe, seen, and understood. I’m extremely mindful of safety protocols – doors and gates are always securely closed, even if I’m just stepping out for a moment. On walks, I use an extra leash for added security. I also never give treats unless they’re approved by you to avoid any upset tummies or allergic reactions.
Information Christine L. would like to know about your pet
To make sure your pet has the best visit possible, I like to know about any allergies or sensitivities, any medications or medical needs. I'd also love to know what toys or activities they love most! That way I can make their time with me fun and full of the things that make them happiest.
A typical day
When I come over, I start by saying hi to your pet(s) and letting dogs out for a potty break. I'll fill bowls with fresh food and water, do a quick walk-through to make sure there are no messes or anything that needs attention, and scoop the litter boxes if you have cats. After that, it's hangout time! We play your pet's favorite game, or just chill and give them some extra love and attention, their choice!

Pet care experience
Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up, my mom worked as a dog sitter and trainer, so I grew up learning how to care for pets and build a strong, lasting, bond. I spent 5 years working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for pups of every size, age, and personality – from playful puppies to gentle seniors to the lovable chaos gremlin. For the past 4 years, I’ve also been pet sitting on my own. Working from home, I’m able to be present throughout the day to keep pets company, give them attention, and stick to their routines. Dogs are my specialty, but I’ve also cared for cats, reptiles, and even chickens! I’m confident handling all kinds of critters and love getting to know each one’s unique quirks. Whether your pet needs a playmate, a snuggle buddy, or just someone who “gets” them, I’m your gal. GoodPup certified dog trainer.

Reviews
Christine was amazing. I was thankful to find her on short notice and she connected immediately with my dog. Communication was great, she was very patient, kind and extremely professional. I highly recommend her and hope to have her visit again!!
Christine did an excellent job caring for the cats and sending pictures of the cats to me from each visit! It was such a relief to know they were well cared for.
CHRISTINE is one of the kindest people I know. CHRISTINE‘s knowledge of dogs and dog behaviors come from observing her own dogs and the dogs she loved at the boarding kennel where she used to work. She is deeply committed to the health and well-being of all dogs in her care. CHRISTINE is passionate about giving dogs a balanced work/rest/play lifestyle through enrichment, walks, playtime, training, and most importantly snuggles! If your dog could talk, they would choose CHRISTINE every single time!
Chris is one of those true pet people. She cares about every aspect of pet health from nutrition to play to training to snuggling. We feel so fortunate to be able to put our puppy in her capable hands! She's been great at helping us choose the best food and toys for our pup too. I definitely recommend her services!
