Dog Loving Family

Pet care experience

I’m an animal lover and have been privileged to own and care for fresh & saltwater fish, frogs, turtles, salamanders, hamsters, rabbits, parakeets, blue front Amazon parrot, cats & dogs. I’m able to care for animals that need shots or need to be hand fed. I raised my parrot as a baby and had to prepare special food and feed with a syringe as well as take care of a dog with diabetes. My pets are always the stars of our home. We are currently a pet free home since the recent passing of our beloved Brittany Spaniel Bailey. We are undecided on the next pet we will adopt, but I’m deeply missing the love and affection pets offer. For now we are looking to spoil your pets. Safety is always the most important thing I consider when watching all animals. I hope I can be fortunate enough to care for your pet.

Chris and Don were fabulous with our pooch. They kept us well informed with lots of pictures and video while he stayed with them. They took him on lots of walks and treated him like family. We are so greatful that we found them. Looking forward to the next time he stays with them and knowing that he will be well looked after. Thanks Chris, Don and Brian!

We always feel confident that Christine will take excellent care of our guys. She treats them like they are her own. They seem to have a great time with her and she with them! Sometimes I think they have a better time on their vacation than ours.😊 We feel lucky that we found her!

Christine and her family are amazing. She watched both of our dogs for an entire week for the first time, and we were able to enjoy our vacation without any worry. She's such a professional and kept us up-to-date with pictures and tales each day. We will definitely use her any time in the future. Thank you, Christine!

Information Christine M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or restrictions, so I can account for them. I have a large breed crate available if you pet requires it. I would need your pets height to ensure it’s the proper size (if you have a large dog)

A typical day involves breakfast, walk, rest, lunch, walk, rest, play with toy in the house or yard (weather permitting), dinner, long walk, sleep. On the weekends we love taking our pets to dog parks, pet friendly beaches or to a forest preserves, providing the pet can handle it.
