Don’t know where to begin other than to say that I’m over the moon with the level of care, attention and dedication Christy provided to my fur baby, Buster. She was amazing at communicating every step of the way, from scheduling to boarding to follow-up. I never had to wonder how he was doing because she sent pics, videos and text updates on a regular basis. I cannot recommend her enough!

Awesome sitter. She treated my dog like a Princess. Took her to several walks and hikes, gave her a Xmas present, cuddled her everytime she wanted and she kept me posted everyday with photos,videos and messages. She truly is amazing. ♡ thank you for every Christy.

First time working with Christy and I am over the moon with her service. You can tell she loves dogs and she is not doing this job for money like many other sitters. She was super friendly with me and loved Mia from the first moment she saw her. I am so happy I found her and,believe me,I have been looking!!!!! Mia is gonna go back to her house for the Holidays and I feel safe knowing she will be loved and taken care of in the best possible way. Thank you Christy!!!!

Christy watched Riley for first time over holiday and our cold snap that hit hard. Riley was happy, well fed and entertianed. While she was a rascal and stole treats and made a mess she was loved. She seemed to want to stay on pick up and thats her good review. I wil use Christy again.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a friendly townhome community. I have a very happy and friendly toy Australian Shepherd that loves all dogs and people. I have a family that includes an 8 year old step daughter that is with us 50% of the time that absolutely adores animals. Since my work hours are flexible, I will be available to let your dog out every 2-4 hours and will walk him/her at least 1x daily. I love to be outside and truly enjoy the exercise as well! Your dog will get lots of belly rubs and love!

Information Christy S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavior that I can account for. My preference are dogs that are potty and crate trained and those that get along with with other dogs.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on hikes! My community is safe and the side streets are quiet. I am close to hiking trails and love to take dogs to the park to play and have fun! Sniffing, playing and running...its all part of the fun!
