Experienced Veterinary Technician

I am a retired licensed Registered Veterinary Technician with twenty five years experience. I can administer any medications needed and also monitor blood glucose. I am glad to speak with your veterinary professional. I have competed in many dog sports including agility, obedience trials, dock diving and am an experienced dog trainer who really loves the dogs. Hiking, off lead play in a fenced environment, trips to the river and lake during summer months. Living in Monterey California is perfect for me because it is such a dog friendly community. When I leave the house, your baby goes with me as long as the weather permits. Each day can be a new adventure. Geriatric dogs welcome, as well as dogs that have special needs or care.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 25, 2026

Moose had such a wonderful time with Christine while we visited the aquarium and Point Lobos. After a long day of travel, we could tell he was pretty worn out, so we really appreciated Christine letting us know he was able to nap, it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he felt at ease in her home. She also made sure he was well fed and his tummy was happy, which we’re so grateful for. Thank you, Christine, for taking such great care of our boy! We will absolutely book with her again the next time we’re in the Monterey area.

Willy loved being with Christine; he was right at home. I hope Christine will be available to take care of him the nest time we go out of town. Appreciated greatly Christine's knowledge of care, food, toys and collars! Both I and Willy send warm wishes and look forward to seeing you soon! Norma (and Willy)

Cristine was truly amazing and the best sitter we’ve ever had! From our meet and greet, her experience and passion for animals were clear right away. She is incredibly compassionate, deeply dog-loving, and extremely careful and safe (our top priority). During our flight chaos, she was the sweetest, modified, and welcomed Augie with genuine excitement, asked all the right questions, and treated him like her own (even brushing him; he came back smelling great!). We felt completely at ease the entire time. Doggies truly deserve her care, and we’ll request her every time we travel 🥹if she’s not fully booked by then from this very well deserved review! 🐾💛 Thank so much Christine! 🐶

Christine took extremely good care of my dog for 6 days. With the walks, toys and loving care, I would highly recommend having her take care of my dog again, thank you
