Pets

You had me at "woof / meow!"

Pet care experience

Let's face it - our pets are our "babies!" You want someone that is dedicated to a pet's safety and won't be distracted (e.g. texting while walking the dog), avoiding another dog being walked across the street "just in case," making sure they don’t eat that chicken bone in the gutter, mushroom in the grass, or play ball near the thorny bush. I also go the extra mile to give plenty of belly rubs or chin scratches! I occasionally send a photo so you know how happy they are, but I’ll also call and send you a picture if something doesn’t look or sound right and might be out of the ordinary (even a quick video or FaceTime chat if you prefer). If this is what you are looking for, I am happy to make that promise to you! I can also ensure other little things are taken care of such as bringing in the mail, watering some plants, or even picking up your dog's favorite treat if you are running low. My theme song is Sam & Dave’s: Hold on, I’m Comin’! I love animals more than most people and would love to become a new friend of yours! :-) * For owners with medium to large dogs, I prefer homes with a secure yard where we can play fetch and get exercise (especially for those that can be aggressive during walks with other dogs or people passing nearby or pull hard while walking). My favorite animal quote - How to Handle Stress Like a Dog: “If you can’t eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away.” 😂🐶💜🐾

Christine was great and did what she could for my unfriendly cat🤣😅 she helped bring in the trash without us asking too! Appreciate her services and will definitely use her again in the future!

Christine was great at communicating, gave updates, and was flexible with making changes when needed. She was thorough and asked good questions about my dog. I won't hesitate to ask for her help in the future.

So glad to have Christine check in on our cat while we were away!! Christine was great at communicating timing of the drop in visits and sharing photos/vids. We knew our cat was in great hands.
