Availability
Pet care is my full-time profession, and I dedicate my days to supporting local dogs and cats, and traveling pets alike, with reliable dog walking and drop-in visits. I provide consistent, unrushed care, prioritizing routines and well-being, while remaining flexible for young puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Home
Information Christine S. would like to know about your pet
Before our first visit, I like to know as much as possible about your pets to ensure, safe, personalized care: + Daily routines, exercise needs, and favorite activities + Feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, and sensitivities + Behavioral cues, triggers, and personality quirks + Health concerns, medications, or special care instructions + Household rules, preferred spaces, and comfort items + What reactivities do your dog(s) have? Vehicles, motorcycles, new people, other dogs, cats, wild animals?
A typical day
I lead each visit with fun, care and attention, following your pet’s cues for fun, safe, and meaningful engagement: + Play and mental enrichment guided by energy and mood + “Dog listener” approach to build trust, biologically appropriate connection/engagement + Respectful, stimulating interaction for cats For the safety, well-being, and pack-appropriate dog walk, with me as the "leader of the hunt," an Easy Walk harness is highly recommended. Owners may provide their own, or I can provide.

Pet care experience
Care for the whole pet, not just the schedule. I care for dogs and cats as individuals, paying attention to how they’re feeling, what they need in the moment, and how to help them feel safe and at ease while you’re away. My approach blends attentive pet engagement with a whole-pet wellness mindset, meaning I’m always observing behavior, energy, appetite, and comfort, not just following a routine on autopilot. What families often notice about my care: + Calm, steady presence that helps pets settle quickly + Genuine affection paired with respectful boundaries + Clear, proactive communication My experience & strengths include: + Senior dogs and cats - honoring slower paces, mobility changes, and comfort needs + Puppies and kittens - reinforcing routines with loving, consistent care + Anxious, shy, or sensitive pets - low-pressure handling and emotional attunement + Multi-pet households - balanced attention for dogs and cats + Wellness-forward touches (always within your preferences): + Supporting healthy routines around feeding, hydration, movement, and rest + Respecting dietary instructions and being mindful of sensitivities + Noticing subtle changes that could signal stress, discomfort, or digestive upset + Nutritional assessments and coaching when requested + All natural ingredient dog spruce-up after walks At the heart of it, I want your pets to feel comfortable, understood, and genuinely cared for, and for you to feel complete peace of mind knowing they’re in loving, capable hands.
