"Christine (oh My Dog) has provided the most reliable, flexible and professional service I have experienced since getting Utah. She provides me with the peace of mind that Utah is in good hands at all times and is constantly accommodating my changing schedule. I always know Utah is getting a great work out as he comes home pretty tired...and usually muddy :) He loves the water, swamps, sticks and other dogs. I always appreciate the photos and Utah loves the home made dog treats!" - Steve (Utah)
"We can't say enough good things about Christine and Oh My Dog! In fact we recommend her to everyone looking for a dog walker. Our dog, Brianna, loves going out with Christine and I feel so much better knowing that Christine is there for Bri every day. We trust Christine implicitly because we know she has Brianna's best interests at heart. Christine has helped to educate us about good nutrition and medicines for Bri that are more holistic which we really appreciate. When we go away without Bri, Christine takes her and it is a huge relief knowing that Bri is with her because Christine knows her so well. Even when we are in a jam Christine is very flexible and so helpful. She has made us better dog owners and has become a real partner in Brianna's care. Honestly, I don't know what we would do without Christine!" - Meghan (Brianna)
"We have nothing but good things to say about the service that oh my dog! provides... Christine is pleasant, professional, flexible and it is clear she cares about our dogs a great deal. Our two Jack Russell's have been with her for a couple of years and they really enjoy their time together. We highly recommend." - Trevor and Maggie
"We've been with Christine for years now and what can we say ? She's fantastic. Linus loves his walks with her and the pack and we have total trust and confidence in her to take care of him. He comes home happy and tired which is the ideal combination for an active mini schnauzer. Christine clearly loves dogs and understands them. She is a great resource on training and dog nutrition and is always willing to offer suggestions and ideas. She was very helpful to us when we recently adopted a puppy mill rescue. Aside from her professionalism, flexibility and care with her clients, we also greatly admire her dedication to animal welfare and well-being. We couldn't imagine using anyone else's services!" - Kathy and Mat
"What really amazes me about Christine is how clear it is that she loves every dog that she cares for like it was her own. The daily walks are great (Marley is thoroughly happy and just waking up when I get home) and boarding with Christine has been a real lifesaver. Unlike a lot of people I know who feel really guilty about leaving their pets when they have to travel it makes me so happy and comfortable to know that to Marley an overnight with Christine is a mini-vacation. I don't know what we'd do without Christine!." - Melissa M. (Marley)
"We've been with Christine for 5 years now. She is totally dependable and very flexible. I think this is simply because Christine loves dogs and enjoys her job. She "gets" dogs and they respond to that. My dog acts like Christine is family - she totally trusts her. And so do I. When my dog fell deeply ill, Christine was pivotal in helping to save her. So I literally trust her with my dog's life." - Rachelle C. (Clara)
"Christine has walked me since I was a little puppy, in 2005. I still get super excited when she comes to the door every day. When I had some behavioural issues a little while ago, Christine took the time to help me and my owners with training, and now I'm a much better dog! Christine has also been really flexible with my owner's schedules and needs. Of course, she always has my best interests at heart (and I'm glad it includes her yummy homemade treats)! P.S. Don't tell my owners, but I also love it when they go away and leave me at Christine's house - I get spoiled! " -Guinness (Maureen & Scott Cryer)
"When Christine began walking Buddha he was already an “old man” and very set in his ways. The new day-time walk routine took a little getting used to, and he wasn’t the easiest customer to integrate into the pack. We’re sure many would have given up, but Christine had the patience to work with Buddha and slowly get him accustomed to his new schedule. He is now so excited for his daily walks, and it’s comforting to know that while we are at work, Buddha is out having some kind of adventure with one of his favourite people. We really admire Christine’s dedication to her profession and the charitable work she does on behalf of animals in need – she is truly the best! " - Wendy Carpenter & Andy Sojczynski
"I trust Christine implicitly with my two dogs, Mika and Lola, whom she has been walking without incident for more than two years now. What I love most is that she loves and cares for them like they were her own. The way my dogs’ faces light up when they see her is more than enough reassurance that there’s no one better suited for this job than Christine. She’s responsible, caring, trustworthy and respectful of all living creatures. What more can anyone ask for?" - Trina Hendry
"Christine is the best! She's been walking and boarding my dogs for years and they absolutely adore her. I am a busy professional who works long hours and I feel totally confident about their well being every day, knowing they're in Christine's hands. She is reliable and professional and very knowledgeable about feeding, training and dog behaviour and socialization. Even more importantly, she cares a great deal for all the dogs she walks and is very attentive (she realized my dog ripped his nail off, when I hadn't even noticed) - and keeps in touch with me regularly about how they're doing. Plus they're always tired and happy when I get home. I highly recommend Oh My Dog for any owner who wants the best for their dog." - Jill Borra (Owen & Roscoe)
"When I moved to the neighbourhood I was worried about who I could possibly find to take care of Baron, my 3 1/2 year old, and more than a little particular, Vizsla. I never dreamed I would find someone who would take care of him as well as I could. I was obviously wrong. I thought it would be difficult to open my home and entrust my best friend to someone else. Wrong again. Christine's love of dogs and character has made this an effortless process for me and a joy for Baron (so much joy that he's passed out on the couch when I get home from work every day - a tired Vizsla ... miracles do happen!). I can't imagine what we would do without her. Thank you Christine! " - Indira & Baron
"Christine has been our saviour - the care that she takes with our older girl, Trudy, and the love and affection that Christine has for her is clearly apparent. And when we threw a new puppy, Nina, in the mix, Christine gladly welcomed her, but was so responsible about introducing her to the "pack", to make sure her regulars were cool with it - something we loved, and respect, totally. We completely trust Christine with our girls - she has a beautiful way with them, and gets their individual (senior/puppy) needs fully. Plus, we harass her a lot, asking SO many questions, we're just glad that she hasn't given up on us humans!" - Andrea Pilate (Trudy and Nina)
"Our two beagles, Annie & Maggie, think that Christine is wonderful. Every time we take them to board at her home, they get so excited that they drag us to her doorway. When we drop them off they don’t even notice when we’re leaving. We completely trust her to take the best care of our two girls; they love her to pieces and we know that their feelings are reciprocated. In fact, they will be staying with Christine for 3 weeks this Christmas and although we’ll miss them like crazy, we won’t be worried about their welfare one little bit. We very highly recommend both her walking and boarding services. " - Val & Dennis Brown (Annie and Maggie)
"As two busy professionals who love our little Labrador and hate to have to leave her behind on our business trips, we now rest easy that she in the hands of calm capable Christine. We've had to leave our Bobbi when she's been on medicine, or in rehab therapy and Christine has gone the extra mile to ensure she's well taken care of. We even get little email updates or photos across the miles -- purely for our need but its truly appreciated. Christine is just the best." - Ellen and Joanna (Bobbi AKA Roberta)
"Greta loves her walks with Christine and I'm grateful for knowing my dog is being well cared for in my absence. Christine is also always helpful and accommodating of my sometimes-hectic schedule - which both the dog and I appreciate." - David Barber (Greta)
"As the owner of two large and very active Otter Hounds, it has been difficult to find a dog care provider who is reliable and trustworthy. Then we met Christine. Her love for dogs is instantly apparent and she has consistently proven able to responsibly manage the unpredictable personalities of two often unruly hounds. My dogs have boarded with Christine for the day and overnight and each time came home completely happy. When they see her in the park they run full throttle toward her – which is a pretty good indicator of their comfort. Christine has a genuine gift for dog care and I would not hesitate to recommend her services." - Kimberley White (Zuzu and Fezziwig)
"Christine has been walking my two very large, very unruly 100 lbs plus schnouzer poodle crosses since puppy hood. Despite asking her to spend her afternoons with these two lovable but somewhat demented animals, she has always been reliable, professional, trustworthy and caring. I am sure that only a very special person is capable of doing what she does. Simply put, Christine could never be replaced!" - Peter Tassone (Kai & Umi)
"Christine was great with our dogs…. so much so that our younger puppy did not want to leave. They received lots of attention while they were there and it showed. We have come to trust Christine with the task of caring for our dogs." - Beth & Marc Guilmette (Roxy and Cubby)
"When Graz leaves me in the morning for work (and she only works to make money to buy me treats and stuff) she reminds me that Christine is coming today. I get so excited I don't know what to do with myself, I try humping her leg - which never goes over well - and then I get distracted by the cheese she leaves me. After my snack I'm pretty pooped so I take a nap and then I hear the familiar sound of keys jingling coming up the steps to the front door. And there she is, MY CHRISTINE. I love her so much! (But I don't try and hump her leg because I would be in very big trouble) Me and Christine go way back from when I was just a puppy training to be a Seeing-Eye-Dog for the Dog Guides of Canada, and now, I'm an ADULT dog dedicated to an easy peasy life of leisure and boy do I love Christine. Actually, I think I love Christine just as much as I love Graz - but don't tell Graz. woof woof
- Trenton (I iive with Graz)
