Safety, trust & environment

I currently own one dog and live in a condo so do not have a fenced in yard. I make sure to walk my dog at least four times a day. She is free to roam the entire house but will put herself in the basement during storms or fireworks.

Great communication! Great notes from the walk and super cute photos! I’ll definitely have her be my walker again if I ever need it in the future!!

Christa is fantastic! She has walked our puppy 2-3 times per week for the past several months. She is extremely reliable. On the rare occasion her schedule needs to change, she is very communicative about it in advance. I have been home a few times when she has arrived, and my puppy is overjoyed to see her. I highly recommend her!

Willa loves Christa! We know that whenever Willa stays with her, she is well cared for and loved as if she's her own. Christa goes above and beyond for caring for dogs - she makes sure they get plenty of walks, cuddles, and playtime. She's reliable and has excellent communication. Couldn't recommend her enough!

I would hire Christa for dog care all of the time if I needed care for my own dog! Christa has been taking care of my dog Scout for almost 3 years. She is prompt and also very reliable. She keeps you informed on your dog while taking care of your dog. I have witnessed her Great care with her own dog! Hire Christa for your pets need! I would recommend her all the time! Molly

Schedule

As a retired elementary teacher I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to devote to your dog. I don't believe in rushing visits or simply stopping by. I enjoy spending meaningful time with each dog to make sure they are happy and comfortable. I am available for home visits and dog walking.

Please share with me as much information as possible about your dog. Do they have any special needs? What are their likes and dislikes? Do they have a favorite toy or activity? How long is a typical walk for them?
