Pet care experience

Responsible and loving

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

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.

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.

Christy is the owner of her own dog that I have come in contact with multiple times. It is one of the best trained dogs I have ever met. She is responsible for how well trained her own dog is. She took the time to train her own dog on her own and I have never seen a dog so well behaved and a dog that is so great around people. She takes her time with animals and treats them great. I would not have anyone else but her watch my dog when I go away for vacation or if I need someone to let my animal out. My dog warmed up to Christy instantly. She is responsible, trustworthy and loves any type of animal. She will take time to spend time with your dog and assure that they feel loved. Overall, she is great with animals and should be trusted by anyone.

I have used Christy as a dog sitter in the past and I would recommend her. She walked my dog everyday while I was in Peru and it was such a great help knowing my dog was in good hands. I’ve also witnessed her training her dog and she’s very good. Definitely use her if you want safety and security for your dog.
