Professional and very experienced!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a highly qualified and experienced dog professional who owns and operates my own successful dog training business. With years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every walk. As a certified, force-free trainer, I understand canine behavior deeply and prioritize your dog’s physical and emotional well-being. I’m adding dog walking to my services simply because I genuinely enjoy it—spending time outdoors with dogs, giving them a chance to explore, sniff, and enjoy their environment in a calm, structured way is one of my favorite parts of the day. You can trust that your dog will be in the hands of a true professional. Whether your pup needs a relaxed sniffari or a structured walk, I tailor every outing to suit your dog’s individual needs. My rates reflect the experience, skill, and care I bring to this service.

I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it is to have Christine taking care of my Daisy. She is so loving and caring. She takes care of Daisy like it was her own child. She is a wealth of knowledge about animal care. She is my go to person when i have concerns or need advice about the care of Daisy. When I take out Daisys pink coat Daisy knows she is going to Christine's and gets so....excited. Christine takes videos or pictures of Daisy throughout the day and sends them to me. She not only cares for Daisy but teaches her. Deciding to get a dog was a big decision but knowing that i would have Christine there helping me, watching Daisy and boarding her during family vacation made the decision much easier. If your dogs have the opportunity to have Christine as part of their lives they are very lucky.

Christine has been such a blessing for us. We recently brought into our home a wonderful shelter dog who needed a lot of love and attention, and was initially suffering from severe separation anxiety whenever someone would leave the room. It has also been more than 15 years since we've had a dog and needless to say we were rusty. From day 1 of the meet and greet with Christine, our dog Dot immediately felt comfortable around her, our kids listened intently to her suggestions, explanations and stories of her own going through similar experiences. She's provided consistent advice and support (outside the formal drop-in/walking sessions we pay for). She has her own dogs and fosters dogs as well... and it's clear she does not do this for the money, but purely for her love of dogs. She posts updates during every visit, sends pics, cleans up if there's been an accident, and provides ideas/suggestions when she can. I highly recommend her!

Whenever Christine takes care of my dog's I know they are in the best hands. She gives them attention, love, lots of pets and always concerned with their well being. Christine truly loves caring for animals. Christine gets to know your pets. She learns their personality and she enjoys being with them. Christine has helped me with my dogs for years and I never had to think once about them when I know they are in her care. I highly recommend Christine and I know you and your dog will love her also.
