All for the love of animals.

Pet care experience

Going out of town? Need some help with your treasured family members? Whether it is walking your dog(s) multiple times a day…or someone to stop in and feed your cat(s), change the litter box and spend some time playing with them while you are away. I can help. I am also experienced with birds and other furry and feathered friends. Each situation is different and I am happy to accommodate. I have a very flexible schedule, love to walk and spoil dogs/cats, and I am mobile so I can come to your pet(s). I have been watching friends loved ones for years and now I have more time to follow my passion...loving Animals! I am currently retired and have been volunteering with rescue groups for over 10 year as a foster parent. I recently became certified as a Canine Massage Therapist, so that I could give back to those that touch our lives in so many ways. I've been involved with and have owned or raised many types of animal (fur, feathers, and wild babies squirrels and oppisums); and have experience with all sizes and all temperaments. I live in Palm Harbor and currently can provide the following services: doggie day care, daily feeding and walks for your dog(s) to feeding your cat(s) and cleaning litter boxes and whatever else may be necessary to ensure your pets are well taken care of in your absence. If you prefer your pet not be alone, I can also accommodate dogs at my home for extended periods.

This was our first time using Rover and we are very relieved we were able to find a reliable pet sitter. We booked a 5 day drop in visit with Christine for our 2 cats. Christine was absolutely wonderful! We received updates and photos of her daily visits with them and she even brought in our mail. We actually looked forward to those updates and they made us smile every time. We will definitely be recommending Christine to our family and friends. Thank you for taking such good care of our 2 boys.?

Christine was amazing. We were nervous to leave our 1 year old Goldendoodle alone for the first time with anyone but my parents and Christine was great! We received an update and photos after each visit. She was great with Ned. Always on time and even brought in our packages and our mail while we were gone! I truly hope whenever we need a sitter for Ned again Christine is available and wanting to spend more time with Ned! Thanks Christine!

Christine was great. She met with us prior to our departure and came on time every day to spend time with our cat. She sent us pictures every day and kept the litter box clean. We wanted a responsible, mature person and she was exactly that. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again the next time we leave town.

Information Christine S. would like to know about your pet

It can be scary for your loved one to be in a new environment, so I am always happy to have a meet-and-greet beforehand just to make sure that everything feels nice and comfortable. If we’re a good match, then I’d like to know if your pup needs any special attention related to dietary restrictions, allergies, sensitivities, or medical needs. I would also like to know about their feeding schedule, treat preference, and any triggers (bikes, kids, etc).
