We cannot say enough good things about Christine and her sweet dog BJ. Leaving Pickles for 6 days while we traveled can usually come with a lot of stress and guilt, but having Christine care for her completely changed that experience for us. Knowing Pickles was safe, loved, and genuinely enjoying herself allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. Christine treated Pickles like part of the family. Pickles went on walks, joined in on trips to the store, enjoyed car rides, and clearly got so much attention and engagement throughout the week. Christine also sent thoughtful updates, photos, and videos each day, which meant so much to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Her home was incredibly pet-friendly and felt like the perfect environment for a dog to feel comfortable and settled. And we have to mention BJ — what a gentleman giant! Despite being so much bigger than our 13-pound Pickles, he was calm, gentle, and so respectful with her. Watching them interact was adorable and reassuring. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. We are so grateful to Christine and would absolutely trust her again with Pickles.

Christine did a wonderful job caring for my small and shy dog. She went above and beyond to make sure Meiji felt comfortable and engaged. She sent me pictures and videos during the 2 day stay ay her house. I felt very reassured my dog was in great hands as Christine is a very kind and responsible woman. I highly recommend her as a petsitter!

Your dog will be cared for, played with and have an outdoor, fenced in yard to play and relax, as well as a nice room indoors with a couch, cool air and cozy place to nap/sleep. In hot weather, I have doggie pools and sprinklers.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a home with two rooms devoted to the dogs, as well as a fenced yard they can play and relax in. Kiddie pool for hot days, and an outdoor shed they can roam in and out of as well. And also free to come inside and nap if they like. My dog is a Newfie, a big lovable dog who can't wait to make friends.

Pets

A typical day

I can play catch with various objects and/or tug with tug toys. Since I have a young friendly dog who loves to play, they will have a built in playmate if they wish. If they don't get along, I can keep them separate. I give them rest time and nap time, and make sure they are hydrated. I give them pets and belly rubs too, and have a variety of toys and stuffies and chew toys.

Your dog should be neutered or spayed and know basic commands. They should be up on all their shots, and I do require proof for that. If they are extremely fearful of a large dog (I have a Newfoundland) it might not be the best match, although I can separate my dog from yours if necessary. Black Jack is big, but not aggressive at all, a giant love bug. Still, some dogs are intimidated by him. I also need to make sure your dog and him won't have issues, so a pre-visit to make sure they won't is necessary.
