Lifelong pet owner & animal lover

Pet care experience

I am a nurturer by nature and have loved all fluffy and furry animals since I was a child. I am a Mom to an amazing 26 year old son but I have been a cat mom (I currently have 3 rescues!) my entire life. I have also fostered (and bottle-fed) two litters of newborn kittens for the Broward Humane Society. Although I grew up with, and have been mom to, cats mostly, I am a lover of ALL animals and have always felt a deep connection and understanding toward them. I make every visit with your pet an engaging experience. Spoiling and pampering is my specialty! :) I am blessed to have the luxury of focusing on what I enjoy and what brings me joy. Caring for and giving love to animals brings me that joy! 😻🐶 While you’re away, I will provide your fur child(ren) with the same level of care, attention, patience, trust, and love that you do. And maybe some harmless “spoiling” like any good Auntie would. 😉 I offer reliable cat care, dog walking, drop-ins, and house-sitting services and have a flexible schedule to accommodate all of your pet needs. I have experience with diabetic kitties and can provide insulin injections to your precious feline (surcharge for insulin administration may apply). Aside from being a mom myself, I also have many years of in-home childcare experience. The children in my care were always treated with as much care and love as if they were my own. And this is the same way I care for my fur babies and yours! I am meticulous at following instructions and paying attention to detail. My time with your pet will be focused on them. I will remain diligent and observant while also being fun, loving, attentive, and engaging. I will happily provide you with as many updates and photos as you would like. You are the parent and you make the rules and I will adhere to them with the kindness and love that your baby deserves.

I can’t recommend Christine enough! She took care of our cat Misiu while we were out of the country for a week and we couldn’t have left him in better hands. We came home to very happy cat. Our cat is very timid and doesn’t usually come out while strangers are around. On our first meeting with Christine she had Misiu hanging around and purring for her. Christine has absolutely the magic touch when it comes to cats. While we were away Christine sent updates and pictures which was awesome and gave us peace of mind that Misiu is well taken care of. Christine clearly loves cats and understands all their quirky ways and you couldn’t be leaving your pets in better hands!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets are my number one priority, but I am equally trustworthy and respectful of your home and property. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and honest. I always make sure to leave your house secured, and in the condition or better than it was in upon my arrival. My goal is always to provide superior service to you and your pet!! I do my best to accommodate specific time requests, but please keep in mind that visit times are approximate due to the unpredictable nature of pets, which can sometimes cause unplanned and unexpected surprises or delays.

Information Christine R. would like to know about your pet

Please contact me for a meet and greet with you and your pet to make sure we are a good fit. This would also be a good time to tell me about their personality, habits or quirks, likes/dislikes, any allergies, health issues, etc. Based on my physical size and capabilities and my gentle, non-disciplinary nature, I am not equipped to physically handle large, strong or aggressive dogs or dogs that may require more verbal training or discipline.

A typical day

I offer drop-in visits for your pets in which I provide food/water and play/cuddle time, or just to be a source of love, companionship, and a reassuring presence to your baby while you are away. As for walks, I will ensure safety first but also make sure your dog receives plenty of verbal praise and encouragement as well as physical interaction, enrichment, and fun on their outing!
