Dog and adventure lover!

Pet care experience

Owned and loved my own dog (English shepherd) for years, and took care of him with severe health needs in the end <3 I love the outdoors so local trail walks and adventures are always welcome.

Christine provided a loving secure place for my dog. She is personable, gentle and kind. It was an easy transition for me to leave him and I immediatly knew he would be well cared for. This was my first experience with Rover. Her home had several dog beds and cozy places for him to curl up. She has a fenced in yard which is a plus and she sent pictures to let me know he was happy. I highly recommend Christine, a great experience.

Christine did a great job and sent me updates while I was and photos. Everything went smoothly and would recommend her for future stays

Christine was amazing! Not only did she take my reservation week-of, she took my anxious dog, Pepper, and made sure she was comfortable and entertained the entire time. She sent along photos and videos giving me so much peace of mind. With Christine’s compassion and fully fenced in backyard, my Pepper didn’t want to leave! Will absolutely be biking again and I encourage you to do the same!

Christine is amazing with animals. Since I've known her shes always had pets and has always made sure they get plenty of exercise, are well fed and showered with plenty of affection. She is very attentive, kind and fun so your animal will be in good hands. They will go on plenty of adventures and sleep in a super cozy and welcoming home.

Information Christine S. would like to know about your pet

I had to care for a very sick dog for the better part of a year- I learned a lot about how to meet him where he was at and read his needs. Generally, I love active outdoorsy fits but happy to hang with any type of dog needing a loving companion!

A typical day

I love being active and the outdoors. Hikes, walks, trails, big laps around neighborhoods are all great. I also love engaging and getting to know dogs and their personalities!

I create my own schedule as a therapist- often have morning / midday freed up due to school hours. My office and home are local to South Portland so can be quite flexible in that area.
