About

Reliable, personalized pet care in Southwest Florida.

Christine's Professional Pet Care provides reliable, personalized pet care for families in North Port, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda and surrounding areas in Southwest Florida. Services include dog boarding, in-home pet sitting, dog walking and drop-in visits.

As an experienced Pet Center Manager, I professionally manage a doggy daycare and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities and energy levels. My experience includes exercise, enrichment, socialization, group play and individualized care. I also have animal shelter volunteer experience and am insured for professional pet-care services.

I believe great pet care is about more than simply feeding a pet or taking them outside. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, engaged and cared for while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. Depending on the service and the individual pet, care may include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, companionship and plenty of personal attention. Pet parents also receive photo and video updates so they can see how their pets are doing while they're away.

Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn about their personality, routine, preferences and individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable, professional care that gives pet parents peace of mind and gives their pets an experience they can enjoy.

About Me

Christine Cosgrove —
Pet Center Manager & pet caregiver.

Hi, I'm Christine! I'm an experienced Pet Center Manager with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities and energy levels. I manage a doggy daycare where my days revolve around keeping dogs safe, happy, active and engaged through individualized care, enrichment, exercise and socialization.

My love for animals extends beyond my professional work. I've also volunteered with animal welfare organizations, including Animal Welfare League in Florida and MaxFund Animal Adoption Center in Colorado, giving me experience with pets from a variety of backgrounds and with different needs.

I started offering independent pet-care services because I wanted to provide families with the same level of attention and care I bring to the pets I work with professionally. I know how important it is to feel confident about the person caring for your pet while you're away, so communication is a big part of my service. I provide regular photo and video updates and take the time to learn each pet's personality, routine, preferences and quirks.

Whether I'm taking your dog for a walk, stopping by for a visit, staying with them in their own home or welcoming them into mine, my goal is simple: to provide dependable, personalized care and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved.

Reviews

What pet parents say.

  • I highly recommend Christine! She has been wonderful with my dog, Gracie, for both drop-in visits and an overnight stay. She is so active and engaging with Gracie that she's always exhausted after their visits! She is extremely flexible and always makes me feel comfortable knowing Gracie is in great hands.

    After every visit, Christine immediately sends a detailed (and very entertaining!) report card with lots of pictures and videos. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. Gracie loves her, and I'm so thankful to have someone so reliable and caring!
