Unleashed Happiness for Dogs & Cats

Pet care experience

Hey there, I’m Christie! I’m a 29 year old student who adores animals! I have a wide range of experience with dogs, cats, horses, and farm animals. As a dedicated pet sitter, I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be able to merge my love for animals and studies. With extensive pet care experience (10 plus years) and a genuine love for animals, I stand out from the rest! Your furry friends will receive the utmost attention and affection under my care. Trust me to go the extra mile to ensure their happiness and safety while you're away! Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me throughout the years for my experience in these responsibilities to ensure the well-being of theirs pets while they’re away: 1. Feeding and providing fresh water. 2. Ensuring regular exercise and playtime. 3. Administering medication, if required. 4. Cleaning litter boxes and pet waste. 5. Grooming and brushing pets. 6. Providing companionship and attention. 7. Monitoring health and behavior. 8. Updating pet owners with pictures and detailed messages. 9. Following specific care instructions. 10. Maintaining a safe and comfortable environment.

Christie was great and I recommend her. She was timely with responding to messages, friendly to talk with and enthusiastic with our two dogs. She was also flexible with our changing schedule. We'll use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are the top priorities in my pet care services, as well as for owners. I ensure a secure environment, follow pet owners' instructions meticulously, and build strong bonds with the pets through love and attentiveness. Trusting me means peace of mind for pet owners, knowing their beloved companions are in safe and caring hands whether at home or out-and-about.

A typical day

I have a lot of fun things up my sleeve but of course, only at the owners discretion and age/ health of pet and their abilities! Here are some fun activities I’m capable of partaking in with your pet: 1. Playing fetch with a ball or a frisbee. 2. Going for a walk or hike in a nearby park or trail. 3. Teaching them new tricks and commands like "sit," "stay," or "down." 4. Having a doggy playdate with other friendly dogs. 5. Giving them puzzle toys or treat-dispensing toys to keep their minds engaged. 6. Engaging in interactive games like hide-and-seek or tug-of-war. 7. Providing them with a safe pool or sprinkler playtime on a hot day. 8. Taking them to a dog-friendly beach or lake for some water fun. 9. Simply spending quality time together, giving them belly rubs and cuddles.
