Pet care experience

I have either owned and/or cared for pets of all life stages for 50 years. We had dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, & fish. I live with my husband and 2 teen boys. We are all animal lovers. I'll take great care of your doggie.

Christine is the best dog sitter you could ever want for your pup. She is so kind and doesn’t mind if I drop Izzy off early. I feel my dog always has a great time and is safe with Christine.

Christine is so kind and communicates very well. She loved on my fur baby and sent daily updates with pictures. She has a warm home with a wonderful fenced in back yard. My dog loved his stay. I will definitely use her again.

Christine is a neighbor of ours and she has puppy sat and kitty sat for our pets several times over the past 5 years. She observed her sons and instructed them on the care of our pets; ensuring they followed our directions. Our fur babies were well cared for, loved, petted, brushed and the dogs required potty let outs Multiple times each day. She and the boys played ball with the dogs, poop scooped the yard and cleaned the litter box for our 2 senior kitties. Medications were given as needed and feeing instructions were followed. Chris kept me up to date on how our fur babies were doing while in her/their care. As a veterinarian since 1986 I know exactly how cats and dogs should be cared for and am confident Chris do an amazing job pet sitting. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Safety, trust & environment

Our beautiful house is pet friendly, safe and secure. We live in a park like setting on a cul-de-sac with a privacy fenced backyard. There are lots of toys and dog beds to lay on. We have comfortable crates with soft bedding for the animals at when I am away. My pet service is available for very small, friendly, non-aggressive fixed dogs that thrive in a family and small group environment and are house trained.

Fetching dog toys and chase games are daily fun activities. I also love to sit and pet the animals. Photographing animals is a fun hobby for me. My dog Daisy will keep your pets busy & active as well. I can send you pictures of your baby during their stay.
