Highlights
Pet care experience
Our pets are our family ❤️
As a proud pet owner myself, I know that our animals aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family. I take immense pride and honor in providing the highest level of care, backed by decades of hands-on experience. My background includes over 15 years of experience working with German Shepherd/Sheep Herd dogs, understanding their unique loyalty, energy, and intelligence. Additionally, I have 28 years of dedicated experience caring for felines—both male and female indoor cats—giving me a deep understanding of their diverse personalities, needs, and behaviors. When your pets are with me, they will receive the same fierce love, respect, and attentive care that I give to my very own.

Safety, trust & environment
As a dedicated pet provider, safety isn't just a checkbox for me—it is the foundation of how I manage my home and routine. I believe that a predictable, structured environment combined with purposeful engagement is key to keeping animals secure, happy, and stress-free. Secure & Supervised Environments: To ensure total safety, my cats remain strictly indoors at all times, protected from outside hazards. When out in the beauty of nature, dogs are strictly kept on a leash to guarantee full control and security. Confidence-Building Playtime: I know that cats thrive on mental stimulation just as much as dogs do. Structured playtime with felines is a priority in my home because it burns excess energy, prevents stress, and—most importantly—builds their confidence and security in their environment. Structured Rest & Crate Comfort: I respect an animal's need for boundaries and decompression. If a dog needs downtime to relax or reset, I utilize crate training as a safe, positive haven for them to unwind. Proactive Health & Bloat Prevention: Having deep experience with large breeds, I am hyper-aware of digestive health. All meals are served on a strict, timely schedule. Furthermore, I enforce mandatory, quiet rest periods immediately after eating to prevent any digestive discomfort or dangerous conditions like bloat. When you trust me with your pets, you are getting an environment rooted in vigilance, confidence-building routine, and a deep respect for animal wellness.
Ratings and reviews
Chrissy is one of the few people I trust with my fur babies, and I’m a certified crazy cat/dog momma. She has watched my pets on numerous occasions and I can honestly say I can feel at ease knowing my pets are in her care. She has been around animals her whole life and it shows. She truly has a connection with our four-legged family members. 100% recommend Chrissy.
I trust Christine completely with my dog, and I can't give a higher recommendation than that. She has a genuine love for animals that is immediately apparent in the way she cares for them—with patience, kindness, and incredible attention to their individual needs. She treats every pet as if they were her own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Christine is dependable, responsible, and an excellent communicator, so I always have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in her care. Any pet owner would be fortunate to have someone as compassionate, trustworthy, and dedicated as Christine looking after their furry family member. I recommend her wholeheartedly and without any hesitation.
Chrissy is the kind of caregiver who treats every animal like family - gentle, reliable, and genuinely obsessed with making pets feel loved. Chrissy has been a natural pet caregiver for as long as I’ve known her. She’s had multiple cats and dogs of her own over the years, and every single one of them has adored her. She just has that magic - animals instantly trust her, relax around her, and follow her like she’s their favorite person. She also cares for my two dogs as if they were her own. When they see her, their whole bodies wiggle with excitement. She knows their routines, their quirks, their silly habits, and she gives them the same level of affection, patience, and attention she gives her own pets. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, walks, or just sitting on the floor with them so they feel safe, she’s fully present.

Schedule
My daily life revolves around my own vibrant pet family: one high-energy German Shepherd and three indoor cats. Managing this household has taught me the art of a perfect routine—balancing the physical and mental stimulation needed for intelligent herd breeds with the quiet, structured care that felines thrive on. From morning walks and puzzle toys for large breeds to meticulous litter box maintenance and separate feeding schedules for multiple cats, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my everyday routine. I know exactly what it takes to keep a multi-pet home safe, organized, and filled with love, and I am excited to bring that same dedicated, expert care to your beloved animals!
