Let’s walk!
Pet care experience
After growing up with dogs, my partner and I now have a two-and-half-year-old pit mix of our own. Our pup takes daily medication, suffers from anxiety, is reactive to new dogs, has to wear a T-shirt (and sometimes booties!) on walks to prevent rashes, and the list goes on; so, I get it—each dog has unique needs! After taking behavioral classes with our pup, I’ve learned strategies for helping dogs avoid their triggers and feel comfortable in new spaces. In taking care of your special family member, I’ll implement these same strategies and do whatever I can to make sure they stay safe, happy, and healthy!
Reviews
Christie is a terrific dog walker. I'm pretty sure my dog likes her much more than he likes me. She can handle any dog temperament and consistently charms my reactive little guy. She knows all the tricks to keep both dog and human happy, and will send many updates throughout the day. What a beaut!
Need someone to walk your pup? Look no further - Christie is the perfect fit! Christie is a dog lover and happy to love on and spend time with every pup she meets. She is patient, giving, and kind, which she definitely carries over into her care for dogs. Christie has gone above and beyond with her own rescue dog, training and working with him and every obstacle thrown her way. And most importantly, she loves him to pieces. She’s also shown her love for my fur baby and helped when I needed, and he loved her right back. Know your dog will be in good hands with Christie and she’ll be sure to impress you!
Every pet owner knows how difficult it can be to find someone you trust with your fur baby. Rest assured that Christie will take only the best care of your dog. As an experienced dog owner herself, Christie knows how to manage behaviors and keep your pup happy and safe. She is a loving, thoughtful caregiver who will go above and beyond to provide excellent service. I cannot recommend Christie enough!
Christie is consistently patient with our anxious pup and he has come to love her so much. She is skilled in working with dogs that can be reactive and is a pro at positive reinforcement. She goes above and beyond to ensure your pets are feeling loved and safe.
