Love & Attention Guaranteed!

Pet care experience

My name is Christy and I live in Columbia with my 2 daughters (16 and 19), my husband Kevin and our playful, adorable baby boy - Cooper. Cooper is a Poo Bear (poodle, bichon, shi zhu) and we love and spoil him like crazy! I'd LOVE to help you with whatever you need, walks, overnights, check ins or other special requests! Rest assured, your baby will receive all the attention they could ever want so you can feel at ease to relax while you're away without having to worry about his/her safety or happiness! I've had many pets over the years including a Chow, Rottweiler, Golden Retriever, Chihuahua, Yorkie, Poodle and a Morkie. Running around and playing in the yard with larger or medium sized dogs is so fun but cuddling up on the couch with Cooper sleeping on my lap is definitely my favorite thing about a small breed.

As usual, Christy did an excellent job caring for our boy Finnegan during her drop in visits! She always does everything that is asked of her and more. She is wonderful and we want everyone to know it. Finnegan loves her and it is comforting for us to know he is in such good hands when we are away.

Very attentive with our boy Rocco... even kept up his medicine routine. Sent pics throughout his stay and made us totally feel comfortable while away. Would definitely use again!

Christy and her family were great to Duke. They welcomed him into their home and bed for that matter! You can tell they cared for him as if he were their own. We were updated with pictures and texts. Will definately use her again in the future

Christy was great! Our dog Martin stayed with her for a week while we were on vacation. She sent us pictures of him while we were gone, and she was very flexible about the pickup and drop off times. We will definitely be using her services in the future!

Information Christy K. would like to know about your pet

My only deal breaker is flea protection. Cooper takes a monthly pill and if I'm lucky enough to take care of your dog, it will be a requirement that they currently receive regular medication or treatments so we can both be sure we aren't passing those little critters to each other. Other than that, I'd really like to know what their current routine is like. I want to make sure they feel safe and happy and the more I know about them the better I'll be able to make sure that happens. Do they do tricks, how often do they eat, do they graze throughout the day or eat only at mealtimes, where do they sleep, are they scared of storms, how long of a walk are they used to. Anything that will make you comfortable knowing they're doing while your gone, I want you to enjoy your time away so let me know what makes them happy so you can be happy!

A typical day

We live in a large subdivision so we'll go on most of our walks throughout the neighborhood unless your dog prefers a specific spot, I'm more than happy to keep their routine if you prefer. We'll play in our fenced in backyard where Cooper loves to play fetch and chase butterflies.
