Certified Veterinary Assistant

Pet care experience

I have loved dogs all my life. I've always had dogs both big and small I love to go on walks and I graduated from Pima Medical Institute as a certified veterinary assistant in 2004. I worked many wonderful years in a few veterinary hospitals and though I was excited to work with all kinds of breeds and people, I wasn't very happy with the limited responsibility I was allowed to handle, so here I am ready and devoted to take care of your furry son or daughter just like they were my own precious babies. l know how to give DPR (Doggy Pulmonary Recessatation, Doggy CPR) . I've always had a connection with dogs so some of the more unruly dogs are no problem for me. I've never crossed paths with a dog that didn't like me. I am very honest and trustworthy and reliable.

Chrissy was great. She put all worries to rest, sent us photo's of our dog playing, and went above and beyond. This was our first time booking with Rover and we were very happy to find Chrissy.

Sorry about being late with this. I forgot it was in my email inbox! I have known Chrissy for over 5 years. In all that time she has been excellent with any dog or cat. She has trained Alice and Hope (mother daughter Chihuahua's. Both have spent many days/nights at my house and are very well behaved. I certainly would recommend Chrissy as a dog sitter. She also has excellent over-all knowledge of dogs due to her veterinary days.

Christy is a good hardworking Dependable animal loving sweet person. She's always full of energy willing to go the extra mile to make your pup feel happy and loved while you're away. She goes above and beyond to make her home feel like your dogs home, and most of the time my dog was always sad to come home. You could do no better than to give her the chance and responsibility to take care of your loved pooch.

I have known Chrissy for about 15 years now and she is one of the best people I know when it comes to taking care of my dogs. I have 6 Chihuahua mixes 3 Boys 3 girls. And they all started with one, her dog Alice is either the mother or the grandmother to all of my little ones depending on which one you're asking about. She was there to help with the birth for all of them. She graduated from Pima Medical Institute as a veterinary assistant, and she was one of the top in her class. She will treat your little furry pal as if they were her own. They are spoiled pampered little princes and princesses. They get their own beds when they go to her house and they get free reign of the house. In Chrissy's eyes no dog can do any wrong. You can feel at ease going out of town leaving your four-legged family member with her. She will give you daily by daily or even every hour updates and lots of pictures letting you know how your sweet puppy is feeling, and if for some tragic fate of weird circumstance to the planets align all in a row in the same day and your puppy were to become sick or have any health concerns you can rest assured knowing that she is trained in veterinary medicine and can take care of your four-legged furry pal. She is fully trained in doggy CPR and mouth to mouth resuscitation. A couple of times my dogs have had some major health issues that I did not have to take them to the vet because I had her in my back pocket. Give her a chance and you will see watching your pup is what's meant to be.

Information Chrissy W. would like to know about your pet

I would just want to know and make sure that they get along with other dogs if they have any special needs what they like or dislike, and what commands and gestures the owner uses consistently, so as not to confuse the dog(s)... because dogs need structure.. consistentisy and a normal schedule.... so that all the hard work and training wasn't ruined in a few critical Moments

A typical day

Depends on where the walk is. If we are close to a dog park...we would go there to play and make new friends.. otherwise as long as it's safe I let the dogs lead and pick our walk path..
