Experienced Dog and Home Sitter

Pet care experience

Growing up on a farm in Georgia, I gained a lot of experience helping raise dogs and being around all sorts of animals. When I was ten my first dog I owned was hit by a car. With a small expectancy to live, I worked tirelessly to reteach him how to run, eat and enjoy life over the next couple of months! Since an early age my love for animals has driven my life. I always knew that I wanted to work with people and animals in the future. I am working towards my masters in Occupational Therapy so I can work with horses and dogs in a therapudic setting, hippotherapy and animal-assisted therapy. I promise I can provide a personal and compassionate approach with your animals! I grew up with english setters, a rat terrier, other just as lovable "mutts" and an array of different animals. I am happy to assist with house sitting as well if that is preferable! I do not mind driving longer distances to dogsit. I have also had experience sitting for chickens, birds, cats, horses, goats etc. in settings that required different types of administrations of medications. My rates are higher than others because I only accept jobs where I can give your pets the attention they need!

Christine is the find of a century: both an animal person AND a people person. We felt very comfortable leaving our pup (and house) in her care for ten whole days. Christine has a warm personality and didn't balk at the multiple pages of instructions I printed for both the dog and the house. She ensured our Australian Cattle Dog got plenty of exercise with multiple daily walks and a few hikes thrown in for good measure. She was a great communicator, followed directions perfectly, sent us lots of pictures, and Diego was truly sad to see her go. She also handled the mail, trash, plants and neighbors without problem. Highly recommend. She'll take great care of your fur family and your property. We definitely plan to use Christine again.
