I can speak dog.

Pet care experience

Being a mom to two cavachons for over ten years has made my heart warm to animals of all kinds. Prior to being a dog mom, I always looked after neighborhood pets on the weekends. I have a pretty flexible schedule and am free most mornings and evenings. I enjoy walking with dogs the most because that is the most peaceful time of the day with your pet. Dogs and cats are the best part of one's life as they are ultimately your child and man's best friend in a different form so I will do my best to take care of your child to the best of my ability!

Christy has gone above the mile to make our furbabies feel safe and sound. Absolutely the best there is! She made us feel secure while we were on vacation. She gives us daily updates and check ins. She definitely treats her clients as if they were her own pups. Thank you so very much Christy for your outstanding work! Will be hiring here again in the future!

Christy was amazing and truly put my mind at ease about leaving my 9 year old miniature poodle Charley to go on vacation! This was the first time leaving my dog with a stranger as my previous dog sitter (a relative) had to cancel last minute. Upon first meeting, she could tell I was stressing out about leaving Charley because he has separation anxiety, but she seemed very compassionate and understanding and let me know he would be well taken care of. While on vacation, I started worrying about Charley and asked Christy if she would be willing to stay a little longer than her 30 minute visits and she did not hesitate to say yes! I am so thankful she was able to comfort him and keep him company to ease his anxiety. Her daily summaries were very detailed and lots of photos were taken. Christy was very personable and I could tell she really cared for Charley and wanted to make sure I didn't have to worry. I am so happy I chose Christy and sooo incredibly grateful she was there for my baby!

Safety, trust & environment

My usual routine follows with making sure pets are feed and waters are replenished. If dogs, a walk is implemented if requested or let out in the backyard. Cats will get their litter box refreshed by cleaning out any pee or poop. Play time is a necessity!

Information Christy L. would like to know about your pet

I always ask new clients to provide emergency contacts such a vets and family or neighbors. I try to go over details as much as I can prior to any visits and encourage a meetup before any service starts to allow familiarity for both myself and the pets.

A typical day

I love engaging pets in play time after any routine tasks. I also encourage treats if allowed to put pets at ease and raise their level of comfort. If toys are out, I will encourage use with the pets.
