Australian dog mum turned walker
Pet care experience
I am a pet owner who understands the worry of leaving your furbabies and home in the hands of a stranger so I am motivated to do the best job possible. I've been a stay at home dog mum/house wife for the last 3 years since I moved here from Australia. Prior to moving I worked in high school education for 11 years. From working in education I have studied a bit of behavioral psychology and find that what applies to humans a lot of the time applies to animals. They are emotionally intelligent beings that deserve understanding and respect. I've had pets all my life from mice to sheep and everything in-between. I'm always the go-to person for friends, family and neighbours for pet sitting, walking and care. I am a responsible adult with great work ethic and enthusiasm. I will be dedicated to care for your pets with whatever they need. I currently have 2 dogs, a Basset Hound a Bichon Frise. I'm happy to work with pets with big personalities and challenging behaviour. My behavioural approach is based on building positive relationships, understanding and consistency. I have recently completed first aid training for cats and dogs through the American Red Cross. I am also able to administer medication and care for pets at all stages of life.
Reviews
Christie is phenomenal with Nala! She does such an amazing job helping her with her anxiety and calming her down - I’m so grateful!
Christie was fantastic! She was clearly at ease with our puppy during the meet & greet and took her on a long interesting walk. I appreciated all the photos and videos she shared.
Christie has been attentive and communicative. I highly recommend Christie for dog walking!
Christie is so incredible with Nala and goes above and beyond to help her with her separation anxiety and reactivity to noises when she watches her. She also takes wonderful care of the house and sends lots of great updates.
