Availability

I own a small business with extremely flexible hours. I am fully transparent and honest in my communication with you. When/If I need to be away- it is only for a few hours at most. I can assure you that your babies while in my care are in a secure and in a safe environment. I try my best to work with drop off and pick up times that work for everyone involved and can extend days if needed.

Safety, trust & environment

My general rule with watching and caring for others fur babies is to follow your direction as close as possible, as I understand pets can feel insecure, lonely, sometimes sad when left in an unfamiliar place. I do my best to create an environment where they feel included, loved, safe and will communicate with you on suggestions for soothing your fur baby while you are away.

Information Christine M. would like to know about your pet

When initial contact is made- I always offer a 'meet and greet' so everyone feels comfortable. Parents can ask questions, fur friends can come visit and I can get important information to be sure to take care of your baby efficiently. I am flexible with whatever is necessary.

A typical day

I have been known to set up a pool in the back yard in the summer/warm months and throw the ball, play chase on all other days of the year. Sometimes we do enrichment games and I always have fun treats to share.

WE LOVE MAKING NEW FRIENDS!!!

Pet care experience

After leaving the corporate world and starting my own small business many years ago- I found I had the time to watch and care for others furry friends and babies. A few years later- I welcomed my own fur baby- Winnie. She is my 3 year old female Maltese that loves to make new friends. She is sassy and full of energy. I have cared for all ages of dogs throughout the years and kept them on their at home routine per mom & dad's instructions-while having fun. I provide loving care and comfort while mom & dad are away and will send pictures and videos daily. Feeding, potty, walking, brushing, playing in my safe and fully fenced in backyard, medications administered (if needed) and most importantly helping make your baby feel loved and secure. I do require a kennel (you provide) for the safety of all for sleeping and rest time. I find most dogs find extreme comfort in a place they can call their own while away from home. I know how it feels to leave my Winnie Girl- the feeling of knowing my baby is in a safe and loving environment is so important to me and makes my heart feel good. I promise to make you (and them) feel the same. We can't wait to meet you! References by request. PS- I can take more than one dog at a time.

Christine was truly wonderful! So patient and helpful in caring for my 8yr old french bulldog during her stay, providing frequent updates and photos. This was our first time working with Christine and will absolutely be using again. Thank you again!!

As my first time using Rover, I was nervous leaving my 6mo old puppy with someone new…. But my pup was in the very BEST hands with Christine! I could tell Christine has a genuine love for animals and not only did she care for my puppy, she took the time to reinforce commands and socialization — my pup is a better dog having stayed with Christine! I will 100% rebook with Christine for all our dog boarding needs! Thank you Christine!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
