When you’re here, you’re family 💛

Pet care experience

One of my favorite things to do is dogsit and my family & friends can attest to that! I’ve been their go-to dogsitter because they know I treat their loved one as if they were my own. We don’t have any pets (hopefully in the near future!), so yours will get all of our love and attention :)

Christine is everything you would hope for in someone who you would want to entrust your beloved pet to! She has such a natural and warm spirit about her and that always seems to translate to the happiness, love, and satisfaction that our pup leaves with. You can tell that she is a natural care taker from the first hand-off and I have always felt comfortable that everything would be taken care of for our pup. Christine was always very attentive to their needs, staying in contact for anything that comes up, and as a result I have had absolutely zero complaints afterwards. She was also flexible with me when I had to slightly adjust a drop-off time which was super appreciated. The environment she provides is a peaceful one for sure and I have full confidence that she would be able to handle all different types of pets! I would highly recommend Christine to anyone looking for a new caregiver for your pet!

Christine is one of the most caring people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and this extends to animals and plants as well! I wrote her a lengthy, detailed guide to watching our dog and she followed it to a T and sent photos and videos throughout her stay. Our anxious dog does not fare so well with new places so Egg's comfortability with Christine is truly notable. Highly recommend!

You’d being doing yourself a disservice by not letting Christine care for your four legged friend. She’s took care of our dog Brownie, on multiple occasions, like if he was her own. He loves seeing her and we feel at ease leaving him with her. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Christine has a loving personality towards all living things. Whether she's caring for patients as a registered nurse, her home full of houseplants, or a furry friend, her warm and nurturing personality is always on display. I would happily entrust her with my pets any time!

Safety, trust & environment

My husband and I live in a townhome in a safe and dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of trails. Our backyard is more of a small area below the deck which isn’t ideal for potty breaks, but we love to go on walks so we are happy to take them on as many walks as they need! I am all about adjusting to their routine/care they’re used to at home. Also open to other requests like playing their favorite youtube or spotify playlist :) You can expect to get plenty of updates and pictures because I want you to be at ease knowing your child is taken care of, and also because I think every dog is photogenic. Please feel free to message me to schedule a meet and greet! Thank you for considering me!

Information Christine L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special or medical needs, what treats you give them, their likes/dislikes. Are they reactive on the leash? What is their activity level? Are they crate trained?What triggers they have that could cause them to bark?

A typical day

A day will start with a lovely stroll in the morning. I like to take dogs on long walks if they have the energy for it so they can explore the neighborhood. If your pup has post-walk zoomies, we’ll play games until they tire out. I usually set up a cozy area in our kitchen nook where I’ll tuck them in for their afternoon nap in the natural sunlight. I take them on as many potty breaks as they need and we’ll end the day on the couch or snuggling together.
