Safety, trust & environment

Since having large and high-energy dogs, I am very used to an active lifestyle. When I take them on hikes, walks, and bike rides, I'm used to them pulling on the leash when they are overly excited. I can (usually) calm them down by patting their chest-area or continuing on our way if necessary.

Information Christine W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is any kind of health concern that requires attention to. I would also love to know what kinds of treats your animal prefers!

A typical day

I love doing pet photography! I love catching moments when our animals are being silly, playing, and running around. For the pets that I watch, I like having a bit of play-time with their toys (throwing a ball, activity toys, etc.), going for walks, brushing (depends on if the pet likes it), and lots of pets!

Pet care experience

I've been an animal lover my entire life and have spent hours volunteering at the TBDHS, along with pet sitting and walking my neighbour's dog! I have my own, high-energy dog (Ellie, husky-German shepherd mix) from Northern Critters in Need. Some activities that I do with my dog (and neighbour’s dogs) are hikes, bike rides, the park, and more. I'm used to large dogs pulling occasionally! I also have two cats (Trix and Roux), who are also rescues. Roux is the sweetest cat that flops when you pick her up (kind of like a ragdoll cat), and Trix will talk (meow) at you when she's ready for your attention. While volunteering at the TBDHS, I would do basic care (feeding, brushing, playtime, etc.) and take the dogs for walks and socialize with them until they found their forever homes!

Christine was available last min and really helped our family out to check in on our puppy when we were tied up with work and activities. She kept him company and brought him outside to play in the backyard. He looked very happy and wasn’t as worried when we got home later than usual. It gave us piece of mind to know he was being well cared for

Took such good care of our cat! The update pictures were too cute. Made it easier to relax on vacation knowing she was in such good hands with Christine!

Christine was great! Helped us out last minute and I could tell my pup had a good day! It’s tough trusting someone with your puppy but Christine’s reviews and experience made it easier. Glad we hired her and will again in the future if needed!
