About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family on and off since high school. More recently I personally have raised 2 puppies into some pretty good boys. I have 3 dogs total that I love! I am a full-time special education teacher. I work from 7-3 most days. I coach Colorgaurd so sometimes I have band practice till 5pm. I can watch, walk, or play with your fur babies after 3 and most anytime on the weekend. I am a very detailed oriented person so I follow directions well! I know how important routine is as well as consistency. But most importantly it is important for pups to know they are loved and cared for. I would love to send pictures and give all the loves and treats!
“Hard to put into words how appreciatetive I am of Christy. With her visits, and care, my Mom can concentrate on getting better and coming home from the hospital. She does not have to worry about her 2 cats. Christy sends short videos, and photos. Having her mind at ease is a big. My Mom's recovery is a long road. I am grateful to have Christy's help.”
