Availability
I recently moved to Colorado after living in NYC for the past 17 years. So at the moment, I'm flexible. I'm available for daycare during the week and dog boarding anytime. Unfortunately, because it's a smaller house I can only accommodate small dogs. However, I'm happy to provide pet sitting for mid-sized dogs in your home when you go out of town.

About Christine R.

Safety, trust & environment
When working in your home, I try to leave things as I find them. I ask my clients to make sure to write down their animals' needs so that I have something to refer back to and ensure that their animal gets what they need.
Information Christine R. would like to know about your pet
Please fill out your profile with vet information. Let me know if your dog has any triggers, like fireworks, trucks, or if they don't like other dogs. Are there any trainings you would like me to reinforce. Meet and Greets are vital. When entering your home you can expect me to ignore your dog (at first!). This has proven to be the best way for them to get to know me. This way they can settle down or warm up when they're ready. Everything we go over I will you to write down because I have multiple clients and I want to make all of your dogs needs are taken care of. Please let me know if your pet has any allergies and don't forget their treats.
A typical day
Pet sitting, Dog Walking & Drop-in's: I try to balance play time, socialization and exercise. I usually try to stick to your dogs typical walk route. Always down to relax with them and cuddle up to watch TV. Dog Boarding-My neighborhood is great for walks & I also have a small yard fenced-in backyard. Please bring me their food, treats, toys, and dog beds I want them to feel at home. I have a tiny two-story home, your dog and I will be sleeping downstairs on the sofa together, I have birds in an elevated cage so it shouldn't be an issue for small dogs. There will also be a gate preventing our cats from coming downstairs. They can't jump over it because they're old ladies and can't jump very high. Every dog is a unique individual and part of the fun is discovering who they are.

Pet care experience
Dog Training is my passion, but cuddling with your pets is a very close second. Over the years I've worked with animals in many different ways, I started as pet sitting, then dog walking, and more recently Dog Training. Often the pets I work with have special needs. I've had cats with Cerebellar Hypoplasia and dogs with hip replacements. I treat all my clients with the same love and patience I give to my own animals. I will go to any lengths and so will the pet parents I work with.
Cat care experience
Christine also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Christine R. cancelled a booking after the stay began.
Wonderful experience! Would definitely book again!
I can’t recommend Christine highly enough. My dog is more than a handful and I am a neurotic pet parent but neither phase her at all. She easily worked through my dogs anxiety and even had some pointers for some training issues. Her communication was consistent and I always knew how things were going. She took excellent care of my home and even took the extra step to wash her bedding. The peace of mind knowing my puppy was in great hands while I was away was absolutely priceless.
So professional. Felt guided through my first experience.
