I work from home which means my schedule is flexible! I can help out in between meetings and work with a dogs needs as long as I know ahead of time. If it is okay with you, I also can work from your house and even bring my dog (if your dog is friendly) to spend extra time with the pup!

About Christy J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Leash & Apartment Safety: Residing in an apartment means I am highly attentive during on-leash neighborhood walks, always keeping a firm grip, staying alert to surrounding distractions, and ensuring secure building entries and exits. Off-Leash & Trail Expertise: I regularly take my own well-trained dog to off-leash dog parks and hiking trails for exercise. While I only keep dogs off-leash with explicit owner permission, I am skilled at managing energy and maintaining control in open environments.

A typical day
I adapt every routine to match your dog’s specific needs and energy level. A typical day includes structured neighborhood walks, fun backyard playtime like fetch, and light training reinforcement. When it’s time to wind down, I provide plenty of belly rubs, attention, and regular photo updates so you always know your pup is happy

Pet care experience
As a lifelong dog owner and dedicated pet lover, I bring years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Having raised and cared for my own dogs throughout my life, I fully understand the deep responsibility and attention to detail required to keep a pet healthy, safe, and happy. In addition to caring for my own pets, I am the go-to dog sitter for my friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it’s staying over for multi-day house sitting, providing midday check-ins, or leading energetic daily walks, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I am experienced with maintaining precise feeding schedules, administering medications, reinforcing basic training, and giving plenty of play time and belly rubs. When your dog is with me, you can expect open communication, regular photo updates, and complete peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, trustworthy hands
Reviews
If people treated each other with the kindness and compassion Christy expresses to dogs, the world would be a much better place. From a logistical perspective, Mel is punctual, responsible, and committed. From your dog’s perspective they’ll find a warm smile and joyful playmate to enjoy an afternoon or evening walk together. I would highly recommend her.
Christy has been really great with my bulldog. Very responsive and always asks questions when necessary. I hope to have her help in the future.
Christy was before me in becoming a dog owner and parent while also being a college student. Her dog, Chase, is the happiest and most playful pup around. He is very well trained in the house and an amazing listener off the leash. Christy was obviously such a great dog mom that when I decided to get a pup myself, I asked her for her help! She gave me awesome training tips from on how to control teething, to helpful commands off the leash in order to control my wild 8 month old adventurous husky. My dog, Midas, and Chase would meet multiple times a week for healthy exercise. She even went as far as watching him for me when I had to study for exams. Overall, Christy is beyond qualified to watch, walk, and entertain all kinds of happy, grumpy, or excited pups, and can fulfill all responsibilities in the highest regard.
Christy happens to be one of the best dog care takers I know. She treats each animal with genuine love and care. Her own dog never wants to be away from her! She is trustworthy, and a great human being.
