Since I have my own cats at home, I offer pet-sitting at your home on your schedule. This can range from stop ins for potty breaks to walks every few hours to overnight stays - you tell me and I’m there! We’ll discuss your expectations to make sure that your pets get exactly the care you expect during your time away, and I promise clear and open communication while you trust me to watch over your babies! (If you are looking for boarding, please be aware that I have cats at my home. Any pup coming in MUST be good around cats, for everyone's comfort!)

Information Christie W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know or any special needs ahead of time, or supplies I should bring! I worked a few years as a vet tech, so I’m comfortable dispensing meds to your pet orally or through injection as long as I have a heads up!

A typical day

We’ll go on so many fun adventures! Give me a preferred route, or let me pick my own, and we’ll be on our way! If fetch in the backyard is more your pet’s thing, awesome! Or I’m down for a great movie night with a coach potato pet!

Pet care experience

I’ve been petsitting for family and friends for two decades now, and would love the opportunity to help you out as well! I love all pets big and small, with familiarity with dogs, cats, lizards, rodents, and birds! Bonus! I’m a teacher as my day job, so you can trust that I’ve been solidly background checked, fingerprinted, etc, ensuring a safe, trustworthy person around your pets on a predictable schedule.

Christie took such wonderful care of my huskies and cat for the weekend. She took great care of my home and garden while I was away, as well. I really trust her and appreciated all of the updates she sent. My dogs are like my children <3 And they told me they want to have her back as their babysitter! :)

I used to feel so guilty leaving my pups at a kennel. Our furbabies need love, attention and soft sleeping spots in an environment that doesn’t take them days to recover from. With Christie caring for them in our home, I still miss them, but I know they are in the best possible hands - receiving the love and attention in familiar surroundings they deserve. And, should any health issues come up, she’s better equipped than we are having spent years job shadowing veterinarians. I can’t recommend her more highly… a hundred stars wouldn’t be enough for this level of pet care.

Christie was a pleasure to have at my home to watch Java. She was communicative and easy to work with. I know Java received extra special attention with Christie. I’ll definitely be booking again with her!

Christie did a great job! She checked in as scheduled and sent me a picture of my dog each day. I felt confident having her in the house and knowing that my animals were taken care of while I was gone. She was also fantastic about communicating before I left, making sure she came by to meet my crew before I took off. 10/10 would recommend her!
