I never met a dog I didn't love.

Pet care experience

I have been involved in German Shepherd Rescue for 22 years. In that time I have had 5 GSD family members and dozens of foster dogs. I have been the dog walk coordinator for the rescue's boarded dogs. I have loving dealt with all sorts of pullers, leash aggression, and fearful pups. But I'd love to take care of your sweet baby, too.

Christine was amazing and took wonderful care of our dogs and home! She took them on plenty of walks, shared so many updates, pictures and videos, and left our house cleaner than we left it. So nice to find someone so great!

Christine was very professional and conscientious about her job. We had her take our dog for an hour walk each day while we were visiting San Diego. We would definitely hire her again should the need arise!

Christine is our favorite pet sitter! She is super reliable and takes our dogs on a walk every day. We get a ton of photos of the dogs playing in the yard or cuddling on the couch. Can not say enough good things about Christine!

We’ve never left our dogs with anyone other than family and probably have only left them once for this long at all! My dogs can be anxious and destructive, but not a thing went wrong and the dogs and the house were in perfect condition, which tells me they were well taken care of and exercised! This is almost more important than feeding for three German shepherd mixes! We have missed out on many trips because we couldn’t find a dog sitter, but no more! Will definitely be using Christine again for future trips. Thanks so much for taking good care of my fur babies!!!

At your home, I am up for throwing the ball or the favorite toy. I enjoying jogging a bit with pups. Love giving tummy rubs. At this time, I cannot board dogs because my current pup, Sugar, is a grumpy senior. She's not up for other dogs coming over.

Information Christine M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your dogs' special needs or preferences. You can see from my profile pictures that I have experience with special needs dogs. Throughout my years in rescue, I have given pups meds both orally and injection, changed wound bandages, removed stitches, etc.. I am partial to big dogs, but love them all. As long as your pup won't bite me, I am up for any other quirks.

A typical day

I understand dogs like new experiences, so I like to vary walking routes I like to jog a bit with dogs as well. I always carry water. I'm very good at understanding pups and adapting interactions/

I am primarily retired. I do care for my school age granddaughter some weeks and I am also an actor who gets occasional work. Theater hours tend to be a few hours on weekend evenings. Should I be involved in a production, I'd let you know, to be sure that the schedule worked for you. Currently I have a grumpy old lady pup, so I do not offer boarding at my home. In your home for a sitting, drop in, or a walk. I offer exercise, play and lots of lovins. I am familiar with giving pets medication, simple wound care, etc.. I will happy feed your pups per your instructions
