I’ll spoil your pet with love!!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Christine and I am a 3rd year nursing student at Rutgers University that needs a little extra help paying for school! I LOVE all animals and have a great deal of experience with giving care to dogs, cats, snakes, birds, fish, reptiles, farm animals, and even bugs! Majority of my experience is from my own pets that I’ve raised, but I have taken care of pets/housesat for family members, friends, and several families that I’ve worked with/ for through babysitting. I also volunteer my time at my local animal shelter, as well! My availability varies due to my part time jobs and school, but I am typically free during most weekdays and weekends. I am also open to overnight/long term care if needed! I am a very active person and enjoy being outside no matter the weather so long walks while conditions aren’t so great are perfectly fine to me! I strive to provide the best care and ensure that all the animals I care for are comfortable, safe, and are given as much love as they would receive from you! While I primarily run this account and care for my clients, I may also have assistance from my partner, Kevin, who is also an experienced, verified handler. He also has experience working with pets that have aggressive/anxious reactive behaviors and has helped me with a few of my clients. We have even recently rescued a 5 year old Doxin mix that was VERY reactive (aggressive/anxious to new people) due to an abusive background with his old owners. However, with the love and training from both of us, our Willie has done a complete 180. He is a gentle, loving dog that LOVES attention from strangers now. With the both of us together, your pet can also get DOUBLE the love, attention, and socialization!! Please feel free to let me know if your pet may have an issue with males/ you only request that I am only present. Please feel free to contact me for more information! I would love to hear from you! :) ** I am still active and available to meet you and your furry friend during COVID-19! If preferred, virtual meet & greets are fine with me, too! **

Christine was AWESOME! We couldn't have chosen a better dogsitter for our 9-year-old dog. Great communication and updates. She helped us to make our trip even better, knowing that our dog was in her care! Thank you so much, Christine!

Christine is wonderful. Never have I ever had anyone besides my family to watch my babygirl and she’s 10 years old

Christine was consistent in her visits and provided helpful updates of our pets! She was extremely flexible with several changes in our schedule, and able to handle unexpected accidents with our pets.

Christine came highly recommended from a close family member. This was the first time leaving our pup overnight and Christine put my mind at ease! She was responsive, attentive to my pup’s needs, and sent daily updates with pictures. I will certainly be contacting her for any future needs!

Safety, trust & environment

While being in your home, I will treat it as my own and love your pets as my own! I would ensure that all their needs are taken care of as well as your home’s! I am an organized person and I actually enjoy cleaning so while I stay with your furry friend, you may return to an even cleaner house! :)

Information Christine S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know: ➞ How active they are ➞ Any specific times for feeding/bathroom ➞ If they need special treatment (grooming/medicine) ➞ How long are they able to stay alone ➞ How they are around new people/dogs ➞ Their disposition ➞ If they’re allowed on furniture • I DO NOT have any breed preferences - I love and can take care of all types! • I am comfortable being around 'aggressive' pets. ** Please let me know if your dog/cat is timid around strangers so accommodations can be made to help your furry friend feel safe and unstressed. **

A typical day

I would take your dog(s) on very long walks around your area or local parks. I would also take your dog(s) on hikes if permitted. Not only that, I would provide long play times to ensure your furry friend is having TONS of fun and they’re releasing all their pent up energy. You will also receive pictures/updates of all the fun your furry friend is having while you're away!
