Pet care experience
Keeping fur babies happy & safe :)
I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, I was previously EMT certified, and I have taken classes on CPR and first aid for animals; so you can find comfort in knowing that your fur babies will be happy and safe with me! I have been rescuing and fostering animals for as long as I can remember, and I regularly volunteer at animal hospitals and shelters. This has provided me with years of experience taking care of dogs and cats (+ other animals) of all ages, breeds, sizes, histories, medical conditions, and temperaments. I am comfortable around any/all different types of pets and I always make sure that every animal I come into contact with feels safe and loved. When house and pet sitting, I take meticulous notes to ensure that I can provide my clients and their beloved pets with the best service possible. I want to make sure my stays are fun and stress free for everyone involved- which includes never leaving a mess for you to come home to after a trip! When I house sit I typically have my partner, whom I’ve lived with for over a decade, stay with me. This not only ensures that I feel safe and comfortable in an unfamiliar home, but also that your babe will get an unlimited amount of play time and potty breaks! Rest assured that there would never be any other visitors throughout my stay. During our time spent together I would be happy to run, hike, walk, swim, play fetch, wrestle, relax, and/or snuggle with your pet! I love that every animal has their own unique personality that will determine how we enjoy each other's company... and I can be as active or as calm with them as they'd prefer. Several years ago I lost my American Bulldog rescue, Belle, so I am not yet ready to choose another dog. However, four years ago I was ready for another fur baby, so Michael and I adopted our sweet and hilarious little cat, Merlin. There is nothing I love more than being surrounded by animals, so I would feel beyond privileged to take care of and play with yours!! I love spending time with furry friends as much as possible and the best days always end with either a long walk or a nice couch snuggle with my buds.

Ratings and reviews
Christie and Michael have been fantastic dog sitters! We have an energetic Aussie who loves attention, and they go above and beyond to take care of our pup - walks, runs, hikes, snuggles, etc. Not to mention, we always get photo updates and come home to a spotless house. 10/10!
Christie and Michael were absolutely wonderful with our dogs. It’s difficult for us to leave our pups behind and in our home with someone new - but they were amazing. It’s going to be easier for us to make future travel plans now knowing Christie and Michael.
We were so happy that Christie and Michael were able to watch Homer for our family! They were extremely thorough from the list of questions for their stay / watching Homer to the daily updates we got. They took such good care of him including make sure he got his meds and his daily walks. We were especially appreciative that they extended their stay by one day given our delay in travel - it made everything less stressful. The house was spotless when we got home; we appreciated that and know they went out of their way given all the rain. Thank you Christie and Michael!
Christie was amazing! We were in Vail for our wedding and desperately needed someone to watch our pups for our wedding night! One of our dogs had recently suffered a spinal cord injury, which made me very nervous about having someone else care for him! Christie made all of my fears go away! She came to our home and was just the sweetest! She took the best care of them, and I know they were safe and loved!! Would definitely re-book and recommend her the next time we’re in town!! 5 stars all the way!! ❤️❤️
Christie was amazing! She took wonderful care of our two year old yellow lab, our two kitties and our home. She is reliable, professional, friendly and was great in communicating both before and after our departure. She took our dog on multiple hikes and sent lots of photos. Our house was spotless when we returned. Our pets were happy to see us when we got back, but I'm sure they are secretly missing Christie. I couldn't recommend her more!
Christie was great. Took time to fully Understand what we needed and took great care of Lilah!

Michael and I are currently working remotely and have a flexible schedule. Fortunately for us, our schedules allow us to spend plenty of time hanging with furry friends!
