Loving, Reliable Pet Care

Hi, I’m Christie! I’m a 34-year-old remote ad-tech consultant and lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of personal pet care experience and 13+ years working professionally with dogs, cats, and small animals. Whether it’s energetic puppies, senior pets needing extra TLC, or complex multi-pet households, I create a calm, nurturing environment where your pets can truly relax. Why Choose Me? *Trusted and professional — I consistently hear that anxious dogs feel at ease around me. I think we just “get” each other. *Experienced with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments — from tiny rescues to big goofy lovebugs. *Skilled in medication administration, special diets, and caring for senior pets with extra needs. What to Expect: *Care that’s personalized to your pet’s personality and routine — from long walks to quiet snuggles. *Frequent updates and photos so you can stay connected, wherever you are. *A safe, loving experience where your pet’s comfort is always the priority.

Christie was an angel with my temperamental cat. She took the time to get to know him and find the best ways to approach him and make him feel safe. I am endlessly grateful for the amazing care she provided while I was away!

Christie was great when we needed a last-minute walk! She gave a full report of her activities with my pup and took a ton of photos. Would definitely recommend!

Schedule

Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine. I dedicate time for play, exercise, and relaxation for every pet I care for. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate regular visits and check-ins, whether it's weekdays or weekends, so your pet always gets the attention they deserve.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Christie can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
To ensure I can provide the best care, I like to know the following details about your pet: - Daily routine (feeding, playtime, sleep) - Allergies or dietary restrictions - Favorite activities, toys, or games - Any behavior quirks or triggers - Preferences for interaction (snuggles vs. independent play) - Health needs, medications, or recent injuries - Commands they respond to (e.g., “sit,” “treat”) - Socialization preferences (with people or other pets) - House rules (e.g., furniture access) ***These insights help me tailor my care to keep your pet comfortable and happy!***
