I love them like they are my own 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Christie and I am a huge Animal Lover! To me dogs aren’t just animals they are lifelong companions. 💕 I have many years of experience caring for a multitude of animals (30+ to be exact). As a kid, we had dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds you name it. In high school, I worked for a groomer and learned a lot about how to properly care for different animals. I've always had a passion for rescuing because of my mom and her love of rescuing it’s something that she passed down to me. My philosophy is that every animal deserves to know what love is in its fullest form so that is what I strive to provide to each and every animal in my care. I have two senior rescue dogs. My oldest rescue is 15 years old. He is a Corgi/Beagle mix named Romeo and then I have a Wheaton Terrier named Hayley who is 12 years old. Oh and let us not forget our very outspoken Torti cat named Nala. They are my furrkids, my companions, my therapy animals, and my little loves. As a self-employed cosmetologist I am blessed with a flexible schedule which allows me the opportunity to be here to help care for your pet companions in the best ways possible. I am flexible and I am open to helping when & where I’m needed. I have references I can provide from those whose animals I have cared for previously. Exercise is important so we like to spend time taking the animals we care for on long walks or hikes, swimming, or to the park to chase a ball or frisbee. I strive to give them the love and play time that they deserve. 🫶🏻
