Pet care experience

I Enjoy Long Walks and Tennis Balls

Each visit, your pup can look forward to a long walk, a jog around the block, or a trip to the closest park. I'm always ready to throw a frisbee or get in extra scratches behind the ears. For cats, I give brushings, play time and plenty of treats. I can also replenish food and water, brush or bathe your furry friend, and pick up poo or scoop the litter box as needed. Medications are not a problem for recovering or chronically ill pets, just let me know what your pet needs. I can also give special attention and gentle care for seniors. I have flexible availability every day of the week, so no matter what your work responsibilities or social life demands, I can be there. I have experience with many kinds of pets and would love to care for them all. I love the cavalier and self-reliant attitude of cats, the goofy personalities of goats and the mischievous nature of birds.

So thankful to Christine for her exceptional care of my two cats! Really appreciated her daily updates. Even my super shy cat came out of hiding to say hi! Will definitely ask her to care for them again.

Chris took great care of Nanneri. She was dependable, sent updates and pictures and was very easy to communicate with. She was also very flexible, and willing/able to add an extra visit on short notice. I am hoping she can take care of Nanneri in the future!

A typical day

I start my day with breakfast for me and my pets, then go on a long run. In between projects I give pats and playtime. Then, in the afternoon, a leisurely stroll around the block. I wrap up the night with dinner, yoga (downward dog), and a cup of tea before bed. I'll stick to your pet's routine so they're comfortable and make sure they get the exercise they need.

Every dog is different, so I like to know as much about a dog's personality as possible so they can be both happy and safe. I like to know how energetic they are, how often they get to expend their energy, what games they like to play and what and how much they eat. It's also important to know if they have allergies, if they tend to eat things they shouldn't, things they are typically scared of, and how well they walk on a leash. With larger dogs that don't do well on a leash or dogs that pull, I prefer walking with a gentle leader or front-clip harness. That way I can help to correct their walking and they can avoid hurting themselves.
