Enhanced background check

Pet care experience

Fun, safety, and exercise!

I worked in animal rescue for 4 years and then have been on a different pet care app since 2018 where I have a 4.99 rating on 200+ services. I love your pet as much as my own. For walks, I usually let them lead the way and, since it’s their walk, they can spend the time however they’d like — sniffing or walking! I always follow your instruction and my main goal is keeping your pet safe!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Having a stranger walk into your house can be overwhelming and a little scary for pets. I greet them with a big smile and a happy voice so they can see I’m their friend. Additionally, if a pet is nervous, I turn to the side for a non threatening stance and offer my hand to sniff. I will crouch down on my knees if needed. Once we’re pals, I try to spend as much time with them outside as I can so they can get some play time and fresh air!

I can’t even tell you how grateful we are for Christine and her husband. We were reluctant for boarding Chloe because she gets anxious around other dogs but she quickly adapted to Christine’s home and the other pups. I even get updated pictures of the cuddles she gives!! We’re so lucky to have found her!

Christine was absolutely amazing! She was very flexible and kept us updated on what was going on. She also takes the most amazing photos of your dog while she’s there I’m talking like Instagram worth photos of your dog which we loved to see how happy ours was with her!

No one loves animals more than Christine. She has three dogs of her own, who she loves immeasurably and would do anything for to keep them safe and healthy. She worked passionately at a non-profit rescue (Texas Human Heroes) for several years when she first moved to the area and even now volunteers regularly on Saturdays at an animal sanctuary (Safe in Austin). She will treat your fur babies just like her own and is trustworthy and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Christine as my dog walker or as a pet sitter. There’s no one I would trust with my pets more than her.
