Where Every Tail Tells a Tale

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 very responsive and came though for me and my dog on short notice even though she didn't have to. Thank you so much for taking great care of Ace! 🐾

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!
