Fur Babies are Family too!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I am Christy, I live in Germantown near Top Golf! I am very experienced with pet care and sitting. I used to work in a pet shop for a side gig for about 4 years, and gained invaluable knowledge about all types of animals. I have experience with all kinds, size, and ages of cats and dogs. I am able to provide medication for your fur baby without incident. I am certified in Pet (Dog&Cat) CPR/First Aid. I used to work with a dog rescue by fostering animals and removing them from hazardous situations. I also make frequent monthly donations to my local animal shelter. I simply adore animals. They love us unconditionally, and bring such joy to our lives.

Christy did an excellent job taking care of my pup. Needed someone on short notice and she was very accommodating. She’s courteous, prepared and kind. Will definitely use her services again.

Christy is very professional and asks lots of questions to make sure she takes care of the furbabies properly. She took really good care of my girls and sent pictures and information about how they were doing on every visit. They were well loved and I very much appreciate it 🧡

Christy was so easy to work with! She took the time to understand my dogs, their habits and their needs. She accommodated my special requests without a second thought. Having her taking care of my fur babies gave me such peace of mind!

Safety, trust & environment

I consider myself an animal lover of all kinds, however, I am always excited to meet new fur friends! I consider my fur babies as full family members, and I'd love to meet yours and treat them the same way. I am very conscientious, I love lists, notes, and extra information to make your vacation a success and to limit the amount of stress to you and your fur family in your absence. I am not a clock-watcher and will make sure your family member's needs are adequately met prior to leaving. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or requests. I feel my experience working in a pet store, sitting for family and friends, and being certified in CPR/First Aid helps provide a comforting peace of mind for Fur Parents.

Information Christy H. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if your pet has any special needs, such as diabetes, or other health issues that require medication and certain feeding times to be consistent, etc., I need to know if your pet has any food or other allergies, or aggressive tendencies towards other animals. I'd also like to have a local emergency contact should any event arise, and your vet's information. I like to be prepared for any event.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your cats and dogs to their comfort level. Some animals experience anxiety and need to be handled with care when they're owners are gone. I know how to gradually introduce myself to your fur family member so that I am not seen as a threat or true stranger. I love playing with cats and their approved toys, and I love keeping dogs engaged when going for a walk, so that they can take advantage of their outting and check out all the new smells along the way.
