Lover of all types of furry friends
Pet care experience
I have owned cats and dogs since college and love spending quality time with all the unique, fun personalities each breed has. I have cared for a range of different animals, from dogs to cats to even birds. Quite a few of the dogs I have recently walked/sat for are 50 lb+, so I am fully comfortable with medium/large breeds. I personally have owned cats and smaller dogs, that ranged from 10 - 20 lbs. My favorite part of pet sitting is how excited your furry friends get to have some play time and attention. I think animals enrich our day to day life so that’s why pet sitting is a great job for me!!
Reviews
Christie was wonderful. She responded quickly, was very professional, was great with all my crazy animals and sent me tons of pictures to let me know my pets were happy and doing well. She makes it so easy and just knowing my demanding pets were being so cared for made traveling so much easier and less stressful. I highly recommend Christie!!
Christie is an amazing sitter! My two dogs and cat absolutely loved her. She followed all of our directions to a T and made sure to communicate throughout her time with our pets. We will absolutely be booking Christie again in the future. Highly recommend!
Christie has been caring for my dog, Bentley, since March. Bentley has a lot of special needs, since he's such an old man, and because he is a rescue that was abused before I adopted him. Christie did not shy away from this difficult case! She's great with him, and he's very particular about who he trusts. He trusted her right away. She's punctual and communicative, so I never have to worry if Bentley is getting the care we agreed on. Plus I love all the pictures she sends! It really keeps my mind at ease knowing that they both enjoy the time they spend together. Christie has my highest recommendation as a care professional. I cannot say enough nice things about her. She's every good adjective! 10 out of 10!
My wife and I go on a few smaller vacations a year, about a week each trip, and we have two cats both are 10yrs old. Christie has been our primary caregiver for seven years and has never disappointed. She does an amazing job caring for our kitties and they are always so happy to see her. Every time we come home there is always fresh food, water, and the litter box is always cleaned. We are extremely pleased with the consistent quality of care Christie has repeatedly shown over the years and recommend her to all of our friends and family.

I do not currently care for pets in my own home. I will make multiple stops per day or stay for overnights in the pets home. They are my number one priority which includes care, snuggles, feeding, activity and whatever their favorite things might be. I am also happy to send pictures and videos while you’re gone so that you get updates on how your pet’s staycation is going!
Information Christie L. would like to know about your pet
I want to make sure that your fine furry friend is comfortable and enjoys their staycation. Here are the things I’d like to know coming in to your pets spaces. Meal & Treat Schedule General Activity Level Walk Frequency & Distance Medicines Reactivity level Bedtime Routine Any Other Preferences or Particulars
A typical day
Where I walk and play with your fur baby varies with the options available near your home and preferences, as well as, length of stay. I do have a pet friendly truck cab where they are welcome to ride along with me (if allowed/preferred) to find dog parks or trails. If they are more of a home body, snuggles and indoor activities are just fine with me. I just want to make sure your pet is taken care of while you’re away in a way that causes the least amount of stress and anxiety for both pet parent and fur babe.
