Pet care experience

Aloha Pet Care

I grew up with cats and dogs and as an adult I’ve never lived without cats. About 16 years ago my daughter talked me into getting a Yorkie and I have been in love with small dogs ever since. I started fostering rescue kittens about 7 years ago when I lived in Hawaii and found my new passion. I moved to Green Valley, Arizona summer of 2025 to be closer to my 85 yo mother who is still pretty active but experiencing memory issues. I am looking forward to helping my new neighbors with their pet care needs 💜

Doggy Day Care • feb 16, 2026

Christine did a great job caring for Luna, taking her for a walk, and keeping us updated throughout her stay. We'd definitely recommend and repeat.

House Sitting • set 10, 2023

Christine did a fantastic job watching over our dog while we were away. She sent daily updates and pictures so we knew he was doing great while we were away. She spent a good amount of time with him and took very loving care of him in our absence. I’m so grateful that we found her and would absolutely use her again in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and caring pet sitter for their four legged family members!

Drop-In Visits • lug 09, 2023

The best choice I've ever made! She cared for my dogs with such love and dedication, treating them as if they were her very own. Her commitment exceeded all expectations, going above and beyond in every way. Hiring her is an absolute necessity. We are beyond impressed.

Christine has watched my two dogs multiple times in my home for both 4-6 hour durations as well as 4-5 day visits. My needy little boys were loved and spoiled and have always been extremely excited to see "Aunty" Christine. Christine treats my furchildren like her furchildren and I trust her completely to keep them and my home safe in my absence. Christine has been a complete blessing and we're so grateful to know her.
