Experienced, avid animal lover!

Pet care experience

I am a huge animal lover- I have had a beloved dog for 15 years, and I enjoy dogsitting for friends purely because I love dogs! I have experience walking/dogsitting small and medium sized dogs of varying energy levels. I also have experience administering oral medications and strict feeding schedules to dogs. Being a big dog lover, all I care is that your dog gets the best care possible! I treat every pup I meet like they are my family- I make sure to prioritize your pet’s needs and wants, and I will always send picture updates of our adventures! *Due to the pandemic, my clinical residency, and moving from Texas to Pennsylvania, I purposely did not accept bookings from mid-2020 to early 2023. Now that I am settled, I am eager to accept new clients and make new furry friends!

Christine is the best sitter. We have used her for multiple drop ins over the past couple of years. She loves animals and is very dependable!

Christine was fabulous, as always!! She kept us informed, sent pictures, and took great care of Oreo!! She’s the absolute best. Will continue to ask her to sit with our dog when needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to have the pet’s daily procedures solidified in order to minimize disruption to the pet when you are away. This means that your pet will be fed, walked, and administered meds (if applicable) as close as possible to your existing routine. I also value quality time and exercise, so I enjoy playing with the pet to expend energy and to foster a trusting relationship!

Information Christine S. would like to know about your pet

If you have any special accommodations, please don’t hesitate to let me know! I am happy to try to accommodate any special requests as much as possible.

A typical day

I love exploring and going on walks- if possible, I would take your pup on walks throughout the neighborhoods on safe and sidewalked areas. If there is a bark park, I would be more than happy to take them there to play with toys (with your permission, of course).
