Pet care experience
Hey my name is Christine. I am a pet care provider in the Russell Township (ON) area. I am willing to travel to other close by areas like Limoges, Metcalfe, Navan, Casselman, etc, and specialize in cat care and aquarium maintenance. I am a mama to two cats, a dog, and three aquariums! Some of my animals take medications and one has special needs, so I am well versed at giving cats pills, as well as dogs (not that they often mind), and have some experience caring for cats with diabetes. I have also looked after for some rodents, birds, fish, and reptiles, as well. I am currently available to watch your cats, as well as other smaller animals! I would also be very happy to walk your dog(s) (in any weather), but I have a limited availability (evening, weekends, and holidays), so I mostly do cat, small animal care, and house sitting. Service And Training: I am comfortable doing cat, dog, and small animal feeding, administering medication, and I am open to exotic pet care. I also have a drivers license, and my own vehicle, and am signed up for a pet first-aid course! Let's Connect!
Reviews
We really appreciated Christine's care for our cat Potato. Her visit to introduce herself left us feeling comfortable, and Potato took to her right away. While we were away, Christine sent updates with photos, and she was quick to check in when she had a reasonable concern. (Including a short video of the coughing she had observed.) Her visits included feedings and cuddles which I suspect our highly social cat enjoyed fully. We look forwards to working with Christine in the near future.
Christine has been a life saver for us! She was excellent with the dogs and went above and beyond to take care of them.
Christine is fantastic, took amazing care of our yorkies highly recommend her services ?
Christine was great with my cats. She was attentive when she visited and even had my shy cat come out for some petting. She was also flexible in adapting to my schedule. I definitely recommend her.

Information Christine L. would like to know about your pet
What is you furry buddy like? Their personality? Likes? Dislikes? Allergies? Health history? Allergies? Age? Triggers? Please tell me what YOU think I need to know!
A typical day
If I am walking your dog, we will explore your neighbourhood together! I always try to sneak in some cuddles and playtime at the end. Rain or snow - no problem! Depending on the the weather (very hot or very cold), and your dogs breed, I may shorten the walk, and play inside a bit more.

Availability
I love feeding cats; my preferred time is right when I finish work, so I get to see their beautiful faces and if I am lucky, hear some meows! But if you have a preferred time, but let me know, and I will do my best! Same for other types of animals, too! I have evening, weekend, and holiday availability. I am not available for mid-day weekday dog walks. Within approx 20 mins/km of the Russell/Embrun area. If you are outside of this area I charge additional kilometers, above the listed prices. Additionally, I am not comfortable “just” walking your dog once (or twice) a day while you are out of town. I do not believe that dogs should be left alone for more than about eight hours consecutively, and never overnight. Anything less then that leaves me feeling really uneasy, and is just not something I am comfortable doing. Each their own, but I would suggest finding someone who does overnight dog boarding or in house stays, to keep your pup company, and to keep them happy, safe, and adequately cared for. Similar for cats; I believe they need to be checked on at least every 48 hrs, and I am not available to do pet care where cats would be left for longer than two days without someone stopping in. For my own protection, I will not become involved in pet sitting situations where dogs are alone for more than 8 hours, and cats for than 48 hours.
