Safety, trust & environment

I am reliable and safety conscious. I'm calm in emergency situations and am able to engage with animals in a way that matches or calms their energy.

Information Christine T. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know what makes your pet comfortable upon first greeting them at the door or when they seem timid. If I'm walking your dog, please share whether I should walk past, approach, or avoid other dogs and/or people, and what soothes them in the process. My pup calms down when I call her a goood girl in a nice but firm voice. Please share some pro-tips for your pet.

A typical day

I enjoy taking my dog to the dog park and watching her interact and be her wild little self. Mostly Coco and I walk, a lot. We're out twice a day, sometimes more.

Pet care experience

I've cared for my own and others dogs and cats my entire life and am especially good at making friends with timid or fearful animals. I've had dogs, cats, and a lovebird in my family (some at the same time), and had fun learning what everyone needed to feel safe, loved and a part of it all.

Christine took amazing care of our one year old rescue during our week away. She’s a fantastic communicator and sent regular updates with adorable photos from long walks and playtime. She even taught our pup a new command, and left our home spotless and our lawn watered too! Our pup adored her and we will absolutely be rebooking. We highly recommend Christine. You and your pet will be so happy with her truly exceptional care!

Christine is reliable, an excellent communicator and is fantastic with our recent rescue - calming and nurturing and goes above and beyond to ensure she gets the exercise and fun play time puppies so appreciate. Highly recommend!

Booking Christine again was a no brainer! Again there was terrible weather and she was such a trooper still got Mouse a full hour long walk! Mouse loves her and I never have to worry about him when he’s in her care!

Christine was amazing! I was nervous with Mouse being a recent rescue but at our meet and greet she immediately put us both at ease. She had such a calming presence and handled him effortlessly even though I think he might be taller than her on his hind legs! She had no problem managing his reactivity on walks and him needing constant attention and her to be at the apartment the majority of the time. I could tell when I got back that she had been consistent with the training I was doing and he was progressing in it during her stay! Christine was also so flexible and helpful when my flight was cancelled and I struggled to get back because of the ice storm. She still got him out to play and took such great care of him. I can’t say enough how amazing she is! My only critique would be that she doesn’t charge enough for the exceptional level of service she provides! Thanks Christine! :)
