Information Christine S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you're dog has any behavioral or emotional special needs so I can be better prepared for either boarding, sitting or dog walking opportunities.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs both physically and mentally stimulated through exercise, playtime, enrichment, and basic obedience training, helping them stay happy, healthy, engaged, and well cared for.

Pet care experience

Hello, I am Christine, a passionate animal lover and experienced dog owner with a strong background in animal behavior and pet care. I have extensive experience training and caring for dogs, including a 16-year-old yellow Labrador retriever who sadly passed away in February 2023. Additionally, I've fostered and adopted several dogs through both Labrador Retriever Resce and local Boxer Rescue groups. I married my soulmate in 2023 and shortly after adopted our now 2+ year old Labrador from a local rescue group. In addition to my personal experience, I have also worked with and volunteered for a local SPCA, fostering dozens of dogs and offering in-home pet sitting services. I am committed to providing the highest quality care for your pets and am happy to provide references upon request.

Christine was fantastic! The fur babies were happy and well cared for, and she went the extra mile to get our mail, and the house was spotless when we returned. We really appreciated the thorough communication during her stay and concern for their well being!

Thank you for the drop in visit to take care of our sweet girl! It looks like she was motivated for a decent walk & ate most of her food (& both are accomplishments for our senior girl : ) )! We appreciate your detailed update!

We had to attend an important family event out of town, and we had to find a sitter for our puppy. We normally wouldn't leave the puppy, so we were very particular about a sitter. Christine was amazing. From her top-notch communication to her amazing fenced yard to her own friendly and playful dog, everything about this sit was perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to leave my dog with Christine.

I would highly recommend Christine to either pet sit or attend to your fur baby! She has a love and passion for all animals. As she interacts with each personality she does so with wisdom and the capability that has come with years of having loved and nurtured her own fur babies. Your fur baby will be in good hands with Christine!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
