Your Dependable Paw Partner!

Pet care experience

Ever since bringing my 3-year-old Australian Shepherd into my life, my passion and love for dogs started! This love has guided me for over 3 years in professional dog care, where I've committed myself to nurturing and walking dogs, treating each one with the same affection and care as I do for my own. As a dedicated dog walker and local shelter volunteer, I've developed a special knack for easing and comforting pets, building a connection that goes beyond the ordinary. My dedication to your dog's well-being is all-encompassing. I appreciate the importance of loving, consistent interactions, ensuring their joy and health. When you entrust your dog to my care, be assured of a seamless, trustworthy experience. You can relax knowing that your pet is in experienced, caring hands. My promise is straightforward yet heartfelt: With over three years in dog care, I will treat your dog with as much love and attention as my own, ensuring every day is a happy and safe adventure for them. With every service, please expect pup reports where I’ll share photos, written updates, and videos to keep you up to date on your pup :)

Christie is an exceptional care giver. She takes care of Joy twice per week and she makes herself available when Joy needs additional days. Joy can not wait to spend the day with Brooklyn who is her BF. Christie keep us up to date sharing pictures and posting a daily card and is clear that Joy feels like being at home. We are very happy with Christie's services.

I had a wonderful experience with Christie. She showed genuine care towards my dog and I appreciated her regular updates and pictures. Communication with Christe was also great. She gave me clear instructions about what to bring for my dog’s stay, and she was responsive to my questions. We will definitely regularly use her services.

Christie was an incredible person to be watching over my doggie Soju! I was a little hesitant about Soju staying over and Christie was super supportive of me coming over the day prior to introduce Soju to her dog. Additionally, Christie is incredibly attentive and provides regular updates and videos everyday. She also takes care of your dog the way she takes car if her own doggy, which is everything you could ask for! At first, she had Soju sleeping on his bed but then had him sleeping on the bed because he was fussy. I can tell she is a kind hearted dog lover and absolutely will be using her again next time we are out of town!!

A typical day

As a pet walker and caregiver, I focus on a variety of activities that are both fun and beneficial for the pets I watch. Socializing at dog parks is one of my favorites. It's a great opportunity for dogs to interact with others, enhancing their social skills and allowing them to play in a more free and natural environment. This kind of interaction is crucial for their overall behavior and happiness. Taking a walk to the park, visiting a nearby dog park or some fun agility playtime is a typical day for me and your pup. Agility training/play is a bit more structured but equally enjoyable! For your pups who need a bit more simulation, I enjoy setting up a mini agility course at a near by park once they're a bit more comfortable with me. It's interesting to see how they navigate through obstacles, which helps improve their focus, coordination, and fitness. It's also a great bonding experience, as it requires teamwork and communication between me and your pup! Lastly, simply relaxing with them is an essential part of my routine. After a day filled with activities, settling down for some quiet time is just what they need!
