Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog&cat mom, lifelong animal lover
I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I have also cared for other animals like turtles, frogs, rabbits, hamsters and birds. Growing up surrounded by pets sparked a lifelong passion for animal care, and I’ve been caring for them ever since. I used to run my own dog-sitting business in the neighborhood where I grew up. I cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, providing walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention. It was a rewarding experience that helped me build lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I’ve also cared for cats and other small animals, always making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care as if they were my own.

Ratings and reviews
I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! I needed help on very short notice with my newly adopted dog, and she was amazing. She was so patient and understanding with him during this big transition. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and the updates and photos gave me so much peace of mind while I was at work. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again.
Christine is an incredibly wonderful and thoughtful person with a genuine love for animals. Don’t hesitate to book her because the I can assure you that the care and attention she’ll give your fur babies will be second to none — she treats every pet like her own.
For the past 10 years, Christine has cared for my 2 cats and dog like they are her own pets. She is extremely responsible and responsive and has lifelong experience with dogs and cats. There is no one I trust more with the health and safety of my pets. I HIGHLY recommend her as your pet caregiver. My pets may or may not love her more than me. 😅
I had a wonderful experience with Christine as my cat sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my cat while I was away. I appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It was clear my cat was well cared for and comfortable. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend Christine to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.
Christine has an innate love for animals and children. She is sensitive and kind. Christine cared for my 3 cats when I had to leave town. My senior cat is on medication and she was very attentive to his needs. My other two cats also loved her. She played with them and cleaned and changed the water in the bowls more often than I do. When I returned my cats were happy to see me but I could see they developed a special bond and truly loved spending time with Christine. Christine is responsible, attentive to details and trustworthy!
I left my 2 dogs with Christine when I went away for a work trip. She kept me up to date with photos and messages. They had the time of their lives! After 4 days with her they almost didn’t want to come back home! I’ll def have her sit my dogs again in the future, she was great

Schedule
As a teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to care for dogs before work, after work, and throughout the weekends. On weekdays, your dog will receive plenty of attention in the mornings and evenings, and if boarding with me, they’ll have the companionship of my friendly dog during the day. I’m also available for overnight stays, boarding on weekends, holidays, and school breaks, giving your pet plenty of love, exercise, and personalized care while you’re away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, pets become part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and your pet’s routine by following feeding schedules, providing walks, playtime, medications if needed, and lots of companionship. I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their personality and needs to ensure they receive the best possible care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with pets includes morning walks, fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I make sure each pet gets the exercise, mental stimulation, and attention they need based on their personality and routine. Throughout the day, I provide supervised play, cuddle time, and opportunities to relax in a safe, comfortable environment. I also send regular photo and video updates so you can see how your pet is doing. My goal is to make them feel happy, loved, and at home while you’re away.
