Pet care experience

I’m a pet sitter who loves animals.

I’ve been pet sitting for over 21 years. I’ve watched all kind of animals from dogs, fish, cats, squirrels and even tarantulas. I walk, feed, play with, medicate and some times bath the animals I take care of. I also will bring in mail, packages and water plants. I’ve taken care of animals of all ages from puppies and kittens to elderly animals. I do request a meet and greet before I’ll agree to what your pet

Christen did such an amazing job taking care of our dog and cat! I really appreciated the walks and photos. I definitely felt that Mango and Virgo were getting great care with Christen, allowing for me and my girls to have a wonderful vacation.

Very quick to respond, greatest communication, and she took really good care of my cats. I would definitely use her again for future trips.

Christen is reliable, communicative, and--best of all--loves our pup as her own. I think my dog wishes she could go home with her. High recommendation for her pet care and sitting services!

Christen is amazing!! For six years, she has looked after our dog, Greta. I do not know what we would do without her- she truly feels like family. Christen is almost always available and has never cancelled on us. She stays and plays with Greta, sends pictures and updates, and always leaves our house exactly how we left it. It is so nice to be able to leave and relax knowing that Greta is taken care of and loved. I recommend Christen to anyone looking for a pet caregiver. She is the absolute best!!!!

I will need to know if your animal has any special medication or allergy needs. I’ve taken care of many animals who have needed medication. I’ve also taken care of both seniors cats and dogs. Along with kittens and puppies. I also have a young child so I try to make sure that the animals are good with child just in case he’s out of school and I have to bring him. I also ask that you don’t leave your animal inside in the dark if I am to visit it at night.
