Pet care experience

Lifelong Animal Lover!

I have been caring for pets for the last decade, beginning with my own pets and extending to the senior dogs of close family friends. I’ve cared for pets in all stages of life and understand the unique needs that come with each stage. What distinguishes me as a sitter is my genuine love for animals and the attentive, personalized care I provide. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my care. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel at ease while away, which is why I provide regular photo and video updates to offer peace of mind and keep you connected to your pet.

Christine was so kind and my dogs took to her immediately. She took detailed notes during our meet & greet and was communicative throughout the entire process. One of my dogs was prepping for surgery & she was able to administer medicine with ease. I came home to happy dogs and I will definitely use her again!

Christine was great and detail oriented. She provides updates each day, and walked our dog a couple of times a day. She also noticed our pet was not peeing very often. While there was concern there might be a medical issue, it came down to the fact that our dog is just shy about peeing in front of strangers.. However, it's great to know that our dog Isis is in such good hands with Christine.

Great sitter! Even took the dogs for nice walks while I was away and very attentive to their behaviors and notified me along the way. Highly recommended.

Took wonderful care of our two dogs. Friendly and prompt in all communications. Very attentive to our senior dog with anxiety. Walked very well with our rescue puggle who pulls.

Schedule

As a benefit of working remotely, I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to thoughtfully plan my day around pet care needs. This flexibility allows me to prioritize dog walks, drop-in visits, and other bookings throughout the day. Whether it’s a mid-morning walk, an afternoon check-in, or a last-minute request, I’m often available and can adjust my schedule to ensure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets—whether I’m visiting your home for a drop-in, taking your dog on a walk, or welcoming them into mine. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I always take time to ensure they feel safe, respected, and at ease.

Pets

A typical day

I like to adjust my activities based on the preferences of the pets. If your pup likes to snuggle, we will have plenty of snuggle time! If they prefer to go for walks or run around, we will go on plenty of walks. For those that love to play with their toys, a good couple rounds of fetch or tug of war are always fun! I am here to make sure your sweet baby is having a vacation of their own while you are away!
