Grrr8, reliable pet caregiver!
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have also had a small private pet/house sitting business for the past 12 years. I have a lot of experience feeding pets with strict/special diets using oils, powders, crushed up supplements etc. and administering medicine including insulin injections. I’ve cared for dogs with disabilities and senior pets and puppies too. I love playing, walking, and just hanging out with them and giving lots of cuddles.
Reviews
We could not be more happy having her watch our senior dog DJ. As an anxious dog I was impressed how comfortable he was around her. He of cause loved all her attention. I have to say we were nervous having someone stay in our house to watch DJ but Chris is so sweet and knowledgeable in her sitting skills, she had made us comfortable with choosing her. We are so glad we did as she did an awesome job. DJ acted like we never left. He even ate his meals while we were gone. Something he's rarely done. We will be singing her praises to others in our neighborhood plus contacting her for ourselves as the need arises. Thank you Chris for treating our dog as if he were your own.
Thank you, Christine, for taking good care of Tricksy. Our arrangements with you have been easy and you have managed good care of our pet shar-pei. Thanks again!
Christine was hands down the best dog/ house sitter we could have asked for! We have 3 large dogs and one with a seizure disorder that takes timed medication. We were able to enjoy our vacation because of Christine being so communicative and capable. I cannot recommend her enough!
Christine was great staying at our house with our cat & dog. She was very professional and communicative. Both of our girls are very picky eaters and she was able to keep them both on a good input and output schedule. She sent daily updates and pictures. Will definitely book with her again.

Pet sitting in your home - I basically “move in” for the time you are away. I follow your routine and house rules and spend most of my time in your home making sure your pets needs are met. This is especially good if there are separation anxiety issues. Boarding - I provide all loving care in my home making sure pets are comfortable, safe, and happy. Drop in- I will stop at your home and let dogs out, feed & water, play, etc. for no less than 20 minutes. I can also care for cats if you have them. Walks- I will come by, whether you are home or away, and take the dog(s) for a walk. I can feed and water too.

Information Christine M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is aggressive, has any other behavior issues, has allergies, or requires a special diet or any other special needs.
A typical day
I will play with your dog(s), give them lots of love and just hang out with them. I like to let your dog explore and walk along the lake and in our neighborhood. We also have a park with trails nearby most dogs love!

Availability
I am a Nanny during the week, but have a somewhat flexible schedule. I generally can work the pet sitting routine into my work schedule so they are always well cared for and get plenty of attention. For boarding, my husband is home during the day and can take great care of your pets too. I am available to drop in or walk early mornings, evenings and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday’s.
