Christine truly exceeded all expectations. I found her when my pup Dakota needed extra health care and attention. I was worried to leave Dakota while I had work travel, but Christine made it easier for us both. From the minute I reached out, she was professional, responsive and kind. She shared multiple updates a day while I was away. When I returned from my trip, the house was impeccable and Dakota was clearly sad to see her go. I cannot think of a more trustworthy and caring person to leave with a pet and watching over your home.

As someone who really struggles with leaving my dog, finding someone trustworthy, loving, and kind is crucial to me. Christine took care of our two-year-old goldendoodle, Honey, while my husband and I were getting married and enjoying our honeymoon. Throughout the entire time, Christine sent the sweetest, funniest, and most detail-oriented updates, including notes, photos, and videos of Honey. Each day, we giggled and felt a deep sense of peace knowing that Honey was in such good hands with Christine. Christine is naturally warm, calm, and thoughtful, and her genuine care for Honey was evident in every interaction. Honey is even checking the second bedroom to see where her friend went! We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so exceptional here in LA, especially since most of our family is back on the East Coast. We look forward to using her services again in the future. Thank you, Christine!

We’ve been looking for a great dogsitter for a while now and we are SO thrilled to have found Christine. She far exceeded our expectations in so many ways. We got updates throughout the stay and she made sure that our active boy was exercised and loved. She also took excellent care of our home while we were gone. When we came home to Hobbes we could tell that he missed her more than he had missed us!! Thank you Christine!!

Christine was our sitter for an oversea trip and she was so wonderful in every single way! She took great care of our dog and 3 cats. She sent us photos and updates daily and was very communicative. She clearly cares about our pets and doted on them. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our pets and home were looked after. We couldn't be happier with her service and will for sure be booking her again in the future!

Details: Cat • 3 pets • Giving food and water • Providing companionship • Changing litter or bedding • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

I needed a last minute cat sitter and found Christine online. She was out of town until the day I left, so we could only meet on FaceTime before my trip/ couldn’t hand over keys in person. From just one call, I knew I could trust her with my babies, and she delivered! She went above and beyond in responsiveness, and the photos she sent put me at ease on the trip. It made all the difference to know the cats and house were in good hands. I’m so thankful to have found Christine!

Hi Adrienne, thank you so much for trusting me to take care of your home and beautiful fur babies while you were away. They were a joy to hang out with and I hope to see them again soon!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing rate is tiered so that longer duration sits are heavily discounted!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We will start by identifying the dates, times, and frequency requested for the sit. Next, we will have an initial interview by phone to discuss the details of the request, and any pertinent information about the pets. Then, I will offer to meet you and the pets ahead of the sit to ensure we are all comfortable.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I adore animals and have had cats growing up, but owning a dog changed my life. It was my mission to give my dog the best life possible. I grew to realize that I cared deeply about the health and happiness of not only my dog, but all animals and pets! It became so rewarding for me to tend to animals, that I began pet sitting for friends, which quickly grew by word of mouth. I enjoyed this work so much that I decided to make a profession out of home and pet sitting. My clients see and appreciate that I truly do care for their fur family as if they were my own, and I always act in their best interest.
