Pet care experience

My pet care experience is built on a foundation of knowledge, empathy, and a genuine love for animals. Whether it's providing companionship, medical care, or simply ensuring pets are happy and well-cared-for. My daughter and I love all animals. Their companionship and unique personalities bring joy and positivity to our lives.

Christy always takes such good care of our pup, Toni. It feels so good knowing we’re sending her to a comfortable, loving home while we’re away. Thanks Christy!

Kelso loved his stay with Christy and her daughter. We have always had a sitter come to our house so this was his first away sitting. We did a meet and greet and Kelso was so happy playing with Christy’s daughter. We were comfortable leaving Kelso there for 13 days. Christy communicated with us when we were missing Kelso and sent pictures of him.

Ollie’s time at Christy’s was just perfect. Not only was she great at her responses to our enquiry, she was very accommodative with our request and went over and beyond to ensure that Ollie feels at home on his first visit to her place and boy did she hit it out of the park! As much as Ollie is a friendly and a gentle dog, he does have his quirks and when I shared some of them with her, she wasn’t perturbed at all and gave me the confidence that “she’s got this” :) Definitely look forward to sending Ollie to his new most favourite place away from home
