Availability

I take dogs in when you're travelling or need occasional dog sitting, rather than permanent dog care. Because I work from home, dogs fit very naturally into my daily routine. They get plenty of attention, regular outdoor breaks in my fenced yard and relaxed time inside the house with me throughout the day. I enjoy walking with them, playtime and quiet companionship.

Information Christine S. would like to know about your pet

I accept dogs that are non-shedding, fully house trained and sleep through the night (if they are sleeping over). Before your dog stays with me, we will do a meet and greet for you and your dog to feel comfortable and to discuss schedules, feeding, medications, walks, outdoor breaks, etc.

A typical day

A typical day will depend on the schedule your dog is used to, as I will do my best to keep it the same as they are used to at home. I'm home all day when your dog is with me, so they will never be left alone.

A loving home for your dog

Pet care experience

I've had dogs in my life for 40 years and truly love having them around. In recent years I've owned senior rescue dogs, so I understand how important patience, routine and gentle attention can be. Whether a dog is playful or just needs a place to happily chill, I make sure they feel comfortable and at ease.

Christine is a very warm, very friendly caring person and it was obvious from the moment she met our two dogs they would be in wonderful hands with her! One of our dogs is very shy, yet she took to Christine very quickly. Their home is perfect in terms of the layout and with a fenced back yard. Christine sent us photos over the 3 day period and is very responsive in her replies. One of our dogs is challenged to navigate stairs however Christine had a gate to prevent her from going up the stairs and potentially hurting herself. We would definitely book Christine again to care for our two dogs!!

Christine S watched my dog Autumn in her home. I was impressed with her relaxed disposition meeting my dog for the first time. Her home is lovely and neighbourhood perfect for dog walking. When I returned to pick up my dog, Autumn was relaxed. Not anxious at all. I could tell everything went very well. I will be sure to book Christine again for a repeat visit in the future. Thank you for being so great with my dog. Anne M

Christine is a true dog lover and it shows in how naturally she connects with dogs. She’s wonderful with them and truly loves them, treating every dog in her home like a member of the family. She makes sure they feel comfortable, cared for and included, whether that means going for walks, spending time playing, or simply giving them attention and affection. Any dog staying with Christine would have a safe, happy and welcoming place to stay.
