About: I became a cat lover later in life, taking in a stray after a snow storm on Christmas day. Prior to that I was a self-described dog person. Now, I love cats and dogs equally as they both have special traits. I've had two family dogs during my childhood, and two during adulthood. I've dog-sat for a friend's senior dog during their summer vacations, and I've cat-sat for my sister's family cat, feeding, administering insulin shots, and giving him a little love. I trained my parents' nervous rescue dog to walk on a leash (taking months of patience!). I would love to walk or sit your family pet while you're at work, away for the weekend, or on vacation. As a school teacher, my summer schedule is flexible. For the summer, I have a flexible schedule and I can accommodate various times. We can work out a schedule based on your pet's needs. I can care for your cat in your home or in my home (I have one friendly mature cat). I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, or dog sit in your home.

About: I have owned and loved dogs all of my life, including now. I love watching and caring for dogs of all sizes, tiny, extra large, and everything in between. I would love to watch your doggo and give them not only the necessary care, but all of the extra love and affection a dog needs when their owners go out of town. Long walks on the leash, tug-of-war, and cuddles on the couch are all my favorite ways to spoil a pooch. I’m also very good with puppies, as I’ve trained quite a few foster puppies and prepped them for new homes. And I’ve loved senior dogs like my childhood Pekingese, Buffy, who required medications every few hours due to her blindness, deafness, and anxiety incurred in old age. Looking forward to loving your fur baby! I work from home in Asbury Park, so I am available for walks during the day and can also come house sit as needed during the day if there is wifi and a place to work. I am tedious with pet care rules. I take special care, time, and attention to ensure your pets have everything they need when they are in my care. I also love snuggles and frequent playtime.

Christine S.
“Christine is fantastic. She took wonderful care of our older cat on multiple occasions when neither I nor my husband could be home. Our cat, Rocky is older and is need of some extra care due to diabetes and worsening arthritis. Christine was able to administer Rocky’s medication twice each day (morning and evening). This medication had to be measured and then delivered via a syringe. Christine was able to so this with no problems. Christine has a calm demeanor and nurturing nature which put both my pet and me at ease. In addition, she stayed in communication with us on a regular basis, eliminating the stress of leaving our cat and knowing his medication was delivered. I highly recommend her for any of your pets needs.”
