About: I’m the kind of person people trust with the important stuff. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with different personalities and routines—including administering medication when needed. I focus on keeping everything calm, safe, and stress-free while you’re away, and I’ll always keep you updated so you can feel at ease. I work until 4 PM most days, with some flexibility to get off early depending on my schedule. That means I’m available for afternoon, evening, and weekend care!

I provide a calm, loving environment where pets get plenty of attention, supervision, and care. I’m experienced with both cats and dogs and can follow any specific routines, feeding schedules, or medication instructions you provide. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel secure, happy, and well cared for at all times.

“Rover made this transaction incredibly smooth. Chrissy is exactly the kind of person you want watching your dogs. She texted us photos twice a day and let us know what was going on. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you. *****”

“Brooke watched our ball of energy 6 month old lab over the weekend. We highly recommend her and have nothing but great things to say about our experience. Brooke sent photo updates throughout the day which made being away from Hank easier. He clearly enjoyed his time with her and was a happy pup when we got home. Will use her help again in the future :)”

However your pet behaves, I’ll show them love and care for them greatly.
