I just want to give all the loves!

Pet care experience

I've worked with dogs of all ages both personally and professionally. From puppy to seniors. I've raised my own from 6 weeks old into adulthood so aware of training from a young age. Have worked with older dogs who need extra care and special instructions. I am active so can do plenty of walks or runs or whichever to accommodate your fur baby's energy. I actually appreciate when I have detailed instructions so I can take better care of an animal, really get to know them and not throw them off of their routine. Every one's happy and wins! I love doing photo sessions so you'll get plenty of photos and videos! If you would like for me to pet/house sit, I am very conscious and respectful of homes and it will be like I was never there! My house stays clean so yours will definitely be! I love all the animals! The skittish and grumpy ones get even more special care because its my mission to make them all my friends! I have never owned anything other than a dog, cat and fish but have taken care of exotic fishes and reptiles. Open to all animals! Also willing to discuss rates since I'm new to the area. My rates are priced at the care and quality that I know I give but would like to see what works for everyone out here! :)

Christy was great with our three dogs. She had to deal with our wild puppy and we appreciate her so much. Thank you!

Christy was a great communicator which was awesome especially when traveling 14 hours away. Gave my fiance and I peace of mind while we were away from our baby for the first time with a stranger. This was our first time using rover and with a reactive dog the "meet and greet" element was a must! Very glad we went with Christy she'll have your dogs best interest at heart.

Safety, trust & environment

I don't own any pets right now so I can fully focus on your babies! If you prefer your baby to have company, I can always find them a friend to join our party.I prefer to start with a meet and greet so both parties are comfortable. I am open to any requests and normally ask for detailed instructions whether I'm watching them at my place or yours. Completely comfortable with having/walking multiple animals at once.The more the merrier!

Information Christy S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what your floof's normal schedule is. Walks, feeding time, their habits, what they prefer, what games they like to play, energy level, how they act with others, any training, separation anxiety, aggression, any tricks, special diets, health issues,medications or any other special care. I feel all of this comes naturally in petcare but am always a phone call/text away (which I will be updating you frequently anyways).

A typical day

I am very active so your dog will get plenty of walks/runs, if allowed, hikes too or we can just snuggle if that's what they prefer! Please provide their favorite toy if they have one! If they have jackets/shoes for when its cold, please provide those too! Tug of wars and fetch is the norm around here. I normally walk or run around the neighborhood or go to local trails. Turkey Creek trail is the best as this is a off leash trail but if it's our first time together, will not have them off leash or will test it out according to your discretion. I love letting them be free to be themselves!

Going to school and mainly work feom home so I would work around you and your babies schedules! Completely open to dates if Im not booked and even if I am, I would try to help with visitation instead. I do morning or evening runs depending on the day so they will be along for those depending on the dog or it would be walks/no walks for the ones who require it.
