Animals Are My Life!

Pet care experience

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.

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.

Excellent person to watch my pup! She was an wonderful influence on a labradoodle who is very excited to meet and play with anyone. I am so please with the little notes and pictures of our dog while we were traveling. Everything was clean when we arrived back home - including the water bowl.... Sometimes they can get slimy if they don't get cleaned. Thank you Christine for taking excellent care of our dog.

My dog is a handful, to say the least, and Christine took good care of him when I was out of town and sent regular updates, which I appreciated. Knowing my dog had company around the house and that he was being well cared for helped me relax.

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.

Information Christine S. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

We can play fetch or just have some good old fashioned chasing in the backyard. Weather permitting we can go on walks around the neighborhood.
