"All They Need Is Love"

I have owned dogs for the last 10 years, fostered several and helped find happy homes for them. What I am able to give dogs is love, attention, and just being present with them. Even after the dogs got adopted, I remain in contact with them, and we set up play dates! Helped with potty training, and trick training is my favorite. Love to go on hikes, play frisbee and chuck-it! Summertime running through sprinklers, and wintertime running in the snow. I also love Cats! I grew up with cats and just adore them.

Leaving your dogs is never easy, but Christine made it seamless for us and joyful for Willow and Jones. She treated them like her own, created a warm space, and shared the sweetest updates. We came home to relaxed, happy pups, which says everything.

Christine was great with my kitties. She even won over my shy rescue by playing with her! Great communications and pictures too. The reassurance that my fur babies are well is so nice,

Christine is the local dog whisperer in our neighborhood. I think that is her calling now that her kids are grown and gone. She has taken care of my dog, Kelsie, more times than I can count and I have always felt that my dog was safe and comfortable in her care. I have seen her foster dogs waiting for adoption, and love on all the local park dogs. They just adore her. I think Christine would be fabulous in working as a Rover pet sitter.

Christine is as a caring animal lover! My dog Popeye loves her and her dog Blu. Christine takes care of my dog any time I need her to, she does with love and joy, she has cared for foster pets while they find a furever home. She is very responsible and knowledgeable of dog training and care, she is not only my dog caretaker, she is also my dog's emergency contact for any dog service

Safety, trust & environment

I have a nice yard for playing, I can bring your dogs to my house or sit for them at your home. If they board with me, I can crate your pup or not. Plenty of toys, balls, and frisbees. Dog door to backyard if you wish it to be used or can be closed for safety. Gated neighborhood for walking! I would like to have a free "meet and greet" to get to know you and your pets.

Pets

A typical day

We take hikes every morning around 7:00 am (depending on the weather). Usually hike on a trail nearby or take the smaller pups to an enclosed dog park. We run after balls and frisbees, we can also play in the back yard. We go on a second outing around 1:30 (depending in the temperature), in the summer we go to the river to swim in the winter we hike a local Park and play in the snow. In the PM (weather permitting) we leash up and walk through my gated neighborhood. Bedtime whenever they are tired or when I go to bed around 10:00pm.
