Over 20 years of experience
Pet care experience
I have over 20 years of experience working with animals. I ran a pet sitting business to put myself through college as I trained to become a veterinary technologist and I continue to provide education to students in the veterinary field. I work closely with pet sitters and dog walkers in learning to recognize early signs of health concerns. My experience enables me to offer responsible observation, compassionate interactions, and loving care for your furry family members. Although I cannot provide veterinary care or services to your pet, I can provide guidance, support, and recommendations to help you become an active member of the veterinarian-client-patient-relationship with your veterinary team. I'm dedicated to enhancing the human-animal bond and educating pet parents toward a happier, healthier relationship with their pet.
Reviews
If I still lived in the Chicago area, Christy would be the *only* pet sitter I would ever use. She has always treated my pets like her own, and both my dogs and cats adored her. She is patient, reliable, professional and is a extremely knowledgeable about pet health and behavior. Highly recommended.
About Christy M.
Communication
Skills
Information Christy M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any medical needs. I am qualified to assist in some of the home-care which may be required for certain diseases, injuries, or illnesses. If your pet has ever shown signs of aggression or fear while at the vet's office, please let me know. I'm qualified to help manage these situations if I'm informed ahead of time. If your pet has ever been muzzled at the vet's office, please let me know. It is helpful if I know if your pet has any behavioral concerns (eats garbage, chews furniture, runs away, etc). I can take better care of your pet when I'm prepared for your pet's specific needs.
A typical day
I will interact with your dog as a member of their pack. I will tailor my visit with your pet to meet their social needs. Does your pet need a buddy to play with? I'm it! Does your pet need to be loved and smothered with pets? I'm all in! Does your pet need exercise? I'm on top of it. Whatever your pet needs, I can accommodate.
