Pet care experience

Park ranger with a love for critter

I have over 10+ years of experience taking care of animals. When I was in highschool I had a love for all animals and was in a small animal science program where we learned to take care of small animals as well as learn to bathe and give hair cuts to dogs. Once I new this was something I enjoyed I worked at a kennel for a short time before starting to work at Petsmart in NY as a bather. While I was in community college I continued to work as a bather until I moved from home. When I would come home for breaks I would work at the Kennel at Petsmart working the overnight shift. During this whole time I was babysitting, dog/cat sitting and taking care of smaller critters like chinchillas, a turtle, a rabbit, and of course fish. I had used this app for a short time but in March 2020 I moved to Utah to work in the National Park Service. Since I was over an hour away from civilization I deactivated my account but continued to house sit for my co-workers and friends that had dogs and cats. I now work full time but I would love the extra cuddles on my off days.

Christie did an amazing job watching our animals. She is great with animals and she takes the time to understand their personalities and care them based upon them. We look forward to going away, and we will definitely use Christie again.

Christie is wonderfully intuitive about dogs. Essay loved his walks with her and she is a delight. I will call in her again when I need her services. It’s clear she lived animals and Essay instantly took to her 😊

Christie was responsible and responsive sitting our house and pets - two self sufficient cats and a very active pit mix. Communication before and during the sit was via text and Christie sent many pictures that made clear the cats and dog were being well taken care of. The only issue I'd call to Christie's attention is that she works long hours weekdays and weekends and that limits the time she can give to a pet. That said, we were very pleased with Christie's presence and can recommend her highly.
