Elite Care When You’re Not There

Pet care experience

Thank you for visiting! My name is Christine and I am professional pet care provider. I have been providing outstanding service in Erie and Central FL full time for the past 6 years. I am certified in pet CPR and First Aid, a PSA member and INSURED, was a volunteer for the SPCA of central FL and involved in a "Jog a Dog" program. I have cared for dogs small to large, young and old. I have experience with diabetic dogs and am trained and comfortable with insulin injections. I have also cared for dogs that are blind, deaf, those with cancer, have 3 legs and have a lot of senior dog experience-I currently own 3 seniors. My job duties include but are not limited to pet waste clean-up, feeding, walking/running, administering medications, refreshing water every visit, a text or email after each visit, visit notes left after every visit, securing a home before leaving, mail/newspaper retrieval, watering plants and most important TLC for your beloved pet. I have 3 dogs myself - two Labrador Retrievers and a Beagle. My 6 years of experience includes actual on the job experience. I do not count family pets growing up or taking care of friends pets as part of my background. If my schedule is marked unavailable it is because I am fully booked with dog walks and drop in visits. Interesting tidbits: I am a Penn State graduate, class of 2000, I am a marathon runner, non-drinker, non-smoker. Keeping an open line of communication is very important to me! If you message me I will get back to you just as soon as I can and ALWAYS by the end of the day. A PORTION OF MY EARNINGS IS DONATED TO K9'S FOR WARRIORS THROUGH ROVER. Choosing a pet sitter isn't an easy decision. One should of course have a love for animals but must also be experienced. A few things a pet owner may want to consider when making that important decision are: -is the sitter certified in Pet CPR and First AID -is the sitter a PSA member, most importantly are they insured -how many years experience does the sitter have -does the sitter ask the right questions to make you at ease -is this a profession or just a hobby for the sitter My service area is the west side of Erie, Millcreek and Fairview. If you are a little outside my service area please still send me a message. REQUIREMENTS -Your pets must be up to date on all vaccinations for the safety of your pets, my pets and especially puppies. -I insist that your pets are flea free -Your pets have no prior history of aggression towards people. This includes nipping or biting. Puppies are the exception. -If your dog is medium to large in size I require that they be well mannered on a leash. Insurance info, references and background check will be given at a meet and greet. I do not charge extra or double if you have multiple pets. Thanks for your consideration!

Amazing! Went out of town for a few days and Christine took such great care of our fur babies. They love her! She cleaned up any messes they made and gave them lots of love! Have us a better peace of mind while we were away, will definitely rebook if we travel and can’t take our dogs.

Information Christine M. would like to know about your pet

I would most importantly want to know if the dog has any medical concerns, if she is on medication, or has special needs. I would also like to know each individual schedule, such as their feeding schedule, potty schedule, when they wake and go to sleep. I would also like to know if the pet has a history of aggression towards other dogs, has leash aggression, or has ever been aggressive with a person. I do not accept requests for dogs with a history of aggression towards people. This includes biting or “nipping.” The exception to this this would be puppies. I have no breed preferences, I love dogs large and small, young and old. However, I do have a special place in my heart for Labrodor Retrievers and Beagles because I grew up with both. Over the past 6 the years of pet sitting have grown a fondness for those who are seniors and special needs.
