Highlights
Pet care experience
City Dweller of City Pets
As a city dweller for more than 30 years, and a longtime cat mom I know just how special our urban pets are. City dogs have incredible parks to explore, and I've always smiled at the sight of cats peering out windows, happily watching the world go by. I'm a true animal lover and have a hard time walking past a dog without stopping to say hello. And yes, I'm absolutely the person making little noises to get the attention of those cats sitting in apartment windows. While I don't currently have a furry companion of my own, I'm looking forward to that chapter again. In the meantime, I'd love the opportunity to care for yours. I've shared my home with indoor cats for more than 20+years and understand their unique personalities, routines, and quirks. I'm equally comfortable with playful youngsters, mellow middle-aged pets, and sweet seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their family is away. Whether it's belly rubs, playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to their familiar routine, I'll treat your pet as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet you—and your wonderful four-legged family member.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that pets are family, and I take the responsibility of caring for them very seriously. I'm happy to care for your pet in the comfort of your home, where they can remain in their familiar environment and routine. For dogs, I may also be able to offer overnight care in my home if it's a good fit for their temperament and needs. No matter where they're staying, I'll provide loving, attentive care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after. If a pet is in my care, I make myself fully available to them and am attentive to their needs around the clock. I believe consistency, patience, and affection go a long way in helping animals feel secure while their family is away. You can also trust that I'll respect your home, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're gone.
Ratings and reviews
I have known Christy for many years and can confidently say she is one of the most trustworthy, caring, and dependable people I know. Her love for dogs goes far beyond being a pet owner—she serves as Secretary for the Northern California Leonberger Club, where she helps support a community dedicated to the health, well-being, and responsible stewardship of this remarkable breed. Christy has a natural ability to connect with animals and make them feel safe and comfortable. She is attentive, patient, and highly responsible, with a genuine passion for providing exceptional care. Whether she is helping organize club activities, supporting fellow dog owners, or caring for pets herself, she brings warmth, professionalism, and reliability to everything she does. I would trust Christy completely with my own pets and know they would be treated like family. Any pet parent looking for a loving, responsible, and dependable caregiver would be fortunate to have Christy caring for their pets.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I have the flexibility to provide attentive, dependable care throughout the day. I currently work part-time, which allows me to prioritize the pets in my care and ensure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and affection. Whether your pet needs a midday visit, regular check-ins, or extra company while you're away, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. Their well-being, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority, and I'll care for them as if they were my own.
