Pet care experience

Experienced animal enthusiast!

Growing up on a farm in beautiful Gig Harbor, WA, I was lucky enough to find my true passion for all animals at a very young age! I turned that passion into owning a small local doggie daycare and training facility. After 6 wonderful years of owning and operating the business I decided to sell it in order to spend more time with my husband and daughter who was young at that time. I continued to be involved with animals though, taking a position with a mobile veterinary service while tending to my own minifarm. Some of my greatest memories are with my animal friends-everyone from horses and chickens , to cats and pups, to snakes and chinchillas! I am trained in canine CPR, as well as animal first aid. I would be honored to meet and care for your special family member!

Safety, trust & environment

My approach to caring for all animals is based in the understanding that no two animals are the same! They each have their own very specific needs and requirements that they grow accustomed to in their daily lives. When their most loved humans trust me to take care of them, I strive to make it a safe, fun, comforting experience for them!

You always care for Piper like she’s family. I can tell that Piper is less anxious when I return from a trip when you’re caring for her! I really appreciate the care and attention you give to her. Thank you so much!

This is the first time leaving our babies with anyone other than a family member so we were quite stressed out. After meeting with Christy, I knew she was the one for us. The daily updates and pictures were a giant plus. She will be our only choice

To serve your family member best, providing me with a quick run down of your animals daily routine will help him or her adjust to you being away! Any allergies, behavioral quirks or medical conditions are very important for me to know ahead of time too!
