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.

It's the little details that matter

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.

Delighted at this first visit with Christine after our meet & greet going so lovingly! Especially grateful for Christine's experience with dogs who have various boundary preferences to work her way into Roc's heart gradually, watching for his cues (without LOOKING at him!).

Christine was great! She was patient with my shy husky mix and very communicative every day. I did not have to worry at all while I was away. Would hire her again!

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!
