Farmer / Animal Lover
Pet care experience
Hello, I am a dog lover/owner (my baby passed away in 2021) and an animal lover in general. I live on a small farm with lots of room to explore. I love all animals especially dogs. Dogs are truly a blessing and I am so happy when I get to be around them. I love taking dogs for walks or going on long hikes with them. I can take it slow or we can run the whole time. Please let me know what your dog prefers and I will be happy to accommodate. I do not have a fully fenced yard but I have old sheep pastures that are fenced for play time. One thing I should mention is that my daughter was recently bit by a dog (not a Rover dog) so she is scared of aggressive dogs. For that reason, I do not think my place is a good fit for dogs with any aggression problems. I want to have a comfortable environment for both my family and the dog(s) that are here. I work/own a farm and used to work for Petsmart. I have years and years of experience with all breads (especially large breeds) and I understand that pets are part of the family. I will give your fur babies the love and attention they deserve. I can cater to all special needs or special requests. I work from home and I spend all my time with the dog(s) in my care. I take in one dog at a time, or multiple dogs of from the same home. I avoid mixing dogs at all costs but 1-2 times a year an emergency happens where there might be a brief overlap. I have been dog sitting since 2016 and I have had my own dogs all of my life (as well as livestock). The safety of animals in my charge is my top concern.
Reviews
Christi is an amazing care giver for Sophie — we are extremely fortunate to be able to leave Soph in her care!!!
Christi is amazing! She sent us daily photos and updates. Our dog had such a great time with her. We will definitely book in the futures.
Per usual my dog loves Christi and her fam. Zeus was smiling all the way home. Makes me very comfortable and happy.
Thank gawd I found Christi! Not only was I able to fully relax on my mini out of town vaca but I know Ruk had a great time at her home & farm. Received great & funny updates and pics and Ruk was so tired/happy when I picked him up. I'd highly recommend Christi to anyone and look forward to her watching my fur baby again!!
About Christi B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am a very attentive sitter with lots of experience. Each visit is truly different based mostly on the needs of the dog/dog owner and also the weather. If it is really windy or hot, we will stay inside more to make sure everyone is safe. Safety is always my main concern.
Home
Information Christi B. would like to know about your pet
I like to double check on any allergies as well as any other important information I should be aware of. I am really flexible and meet people wherever they are (some owners prefer not to have a lot of communication and some really love it).
A typical day
Each day is different depending on the dog. I really cater my day to the comfort of the dog. With some dogs, we may play all day and some dogs prefer a relaxing day with lots of snuggles (and some prefer a little of both).
Services
Christi can host
Availability
I work from home and honestly, I rarely leave the farm, so I am always available. I am more likely to be inside in the winter and outside in the summer.
