Animals Are My Life!

I’ve been around animals all my life. I lived in a household with 30+ dogs and 4 cats of all sizes and ages. Most of them rescues that were from abusive homes or were no longer wanted. So I am very patient when it comes to any animal behavior. Several of them had special diets and needed certain medications several times a day, which I was always in charge of. I love spending time with any type of furry friend. I've also taken care of other pets such as snakes and lizards. I am comfortable with any animal you may have. Can you tell I love animals yet? I am very flexible with dates and times to spend some time with your furry family member(s). I have been dog walking and pet sitting on and off for several years. I will treat your animal as if they are my own. I enjoy going for long walks, if that is what you would like. I also enjoy pet photography and do that on the side.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for animals as if they are my own and my dogs are my family. I care for them exactly how the owners do. I like care for animals in their own home. I’m a firm believer it reduces stress because they are in their own space. Currently I cannot have any animals at my place.

Christine did a great job communicating with us daily and sending pictures. She played with the cats and was successful taking our temperamental male out in his stroller! Will definitely use Christine for future trips.

Christine was awesome and took very good care of our dogs. We could tell when we returned from our trip that the pups were well taken care of. She sent pictures and communicated with us daily. She's an excellent dog sitter.

She was fantastic and a real professional with my dogs! She clearly cared for them and also took care of other house-related things that we needed done while we were gone. I appreciated the clear and consistent communication and I will definitely be hiring her again!

Thank you Christine! Our boys were well taken care of and I appreciate the pictures, videos and communication while we were away. The house was spotless when we came back, plants were watered, and mail was collected. It was fantastic to be able to enjoy our vacation and know that the boys were in good hands. We will definitely book again when needed!

Christine was phenomenal! She filled in last second for us and was great at touching base with us. She stood at our home and set plenty of pics of our good boy. Overall, she made us feel great about leaving our Zeus and home in our hands. Instantly felt like a friend watching our dog instead of a stranger. She will be who we turn to next time we need a sitter.

Is there anything your dog doesn't like? Such as loud noises, touching the tail or paws, etc. Do they have any allergies/special diet/medication needs? I can accommodate any special needs. I do not have any breed preferences. I love all breeds.
