30 Years of Experience!

Pet care experience

I know what it takes for a dog to have a wonderful time! Too many dogs spend their days stuck in a kennel, and it breaks my heart. I also believe that it helps a dog to stay in familiar surroundings. I offer in-home pet-sitting, not just for your convenience, but for the best interests of your dog. I’ve raised dogs all my life. Over time, my interests turned to breeding and showing. I presently have my own dogs, as well as a cat and some birds. These experiences have made me deeply aware of what a dog needs to be happy and healthy. Meet-and-greets are essential for obtaining all necessary information in advance of the sit and making sure everyone gets along well. You’re entrusting me with both your dog and your home, and I treat that responsibility with the utmost seriousness. I’ll be punctual, and will ask about everything I need to know during the sit. During the stay, I will maintain a daily diary of what your dog and I are up to, so that when you return, you’re assured we had a fantastic time. I have been showing and breeding for over 30 yrs. we had a thriving pet sitting/transport company for many years before retiring to Az. My husband and I work as a team to ensure your pet gets the attention they deserve! Don't trust your pets to just anyone. Trust in our experience!! We are able to administer meds either orally or via injection. We are safety conscious and care for your beloved pets! We provide drop in service and house sitting. We provide additional services like watering plants and bringing in mail at no additional charge. We pet sit for bogs, cats, birds and horse. Little friends also like gerbils or snakes !! Trust your pet care to an experienced pet sitter ! Feel free to contact us with any questions or for more information.

We came back home to two wonderful and content kitties. Christine did a great job taking care of our two shy cats and our house. We were in constant contact so we felt safe to leave them in her care.

Christine did a wonderful job house sitting with our Poodles & Yorkies - & horses!!! She sent frequent pictures of everyone lounging on her lap or playing around the house! This was a last minute booking as our trip plans were suddenly changed & we were going out of the country! It was reassuring to have an experience, mature person caring for our special “kids”! Thank you, Christine!

A typical day

Your dog knows the neighborhood better than I do, so their regular routine will determine our day. I enjoy hiking, so I’ll get along great with a dog who loves to go for walks. Of course, we’ll go out for the usual potty breaks, and have our meals at home, but I’ll also provide plenty of love and belly rubs.
