I'll love your dog like it's my own

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs my entire life, from my first Shetland Sheepdog "Shelly", to my beloved Australian Shepherd "Joey", and now my two Maltese/Yorkies (Morkies) "Xander" and "Roxie". I'll take care of your dog like it's one of my own. Pets are allowed on the couch in my home and are guaranteed lots of attention from my two teenagers. It can be stressful to leave your pup for any length of time so I will be sure to send pictures and updates daily while you are gone! My townhome is uniquely situated with walking paths just outside the door and a well-known dog park just down the street. I work at an area high school and so in the summertime I am home all day and ready to play! (Sorry, no cats due to allergies!)

Christine R has watched our two dogs several times now and she does an excellent job! She sends us pictures of our boys and they certainly seem to enjoy being at her house. She responds quickly and is very flexible, even with last minute changes. We are happy to have found someone so great to take of our boys when needed!

Christine is amazing to our dog throughout the stay! My dog likes her so much that when she came by to drop off his bed and toys, my dog immediately jumped on to her car and wanted to go with her again lol! Highly recommend this caring and sweet host.
