A pawsitively pawsome experience!

Pet care experience

I had both dogs (Huskies!) and cats growing up. I have owned multiple cats as an adult and lived with even more through roommates, while also lavishing attention on my friend's dogs! I love going on walks, so dog walking is definitely on my list! I have done pet-sitting for multiple friends and acquaintances in the past few years, including giving diabetes shots and topical meds in the ear. My own cat currently takes meds via syringe into the mouth.

Christy was fantastic, as always! We have an extremely difficult older kitty and she is so understanding and kind with all of our old lady's quirks. We highly recommend Christy for any kitty care!

Information Christy B. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if there are things I need to watch out for on walks (behaviors around other dogs, pulls really hard, etc), just so I am prepared! :)

A typical day

I enjoy walking around neighborhoods with sidewalks or if there are no sidewalks, it's fun to find a park with a path to go on the walk! With cats, I love playing with toys with the cats and giving them pets, if they allow it. I am also happy to give them space to get to know me and feel more comfortable, if that is what they need, as well.
