Safety, trust & environment

I always treat my client's homes with care and respect. Double check to make sure the door is locked behind me. When house sitting: I'll bring my own and food and offer to wash the bedsheets on the last day. I make sure to put my items (clothes, toiletries, etc) away where they can't be reached. I err on the side of caution as much as possible. I avoid dog parks unless it is empty and we can enjoy it all to ourselves. I avoid passing other dogs and keep an eye out for chicken bones or anything that they shouldn't eat.

Information Christine R. would like to know about your pet

What is their daily routine like? Are they reactive to other dogs, cars, etc? Do they have any bad habits that I should watch out for? Do they get frightened by thunder or fireworks? If so, what do you do to calm their nerves? If your dog/cat needs medicine, please leave instructions

A typical day

It depends on what they want to do! Some dogs love to take a casual sniff walk; others have a lot of energy to burn. For the high energy doggos, I'll try to tire them out by taking them for a jog or playing with their toys. If there is a safe, enclosed area, we can play fetch. I'm pretty good at reading their facial expressions to figure out what they want to do :) If there are any special, fun games/activities that they love, please let me know! For example, playing in a kiddie pool outside, with sprinklers, bubbles, a car ride, getting a pup cup, etc..

We are a happy repeat customer of Christine! She always does a wonderful job! We could fully relax over our wedding weekend knowing she was there looking after our boy!
