I’m a full-time pet sitter, so pet care is my top priority! I have a flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care throughout the day. The only times I’m briefly unavailable are during school pick-up and drop-off for my kids. I do my best to accommodate different schedules, so whether your pet needs a morning walk, an afternoon check-in, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with you to find the best fit. Let me know how I can help!

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, trust, and a stress-free experience when caring for pets in a client’s home. I know how important routine is, so I do my best to follow your pet’s normal schedule—whether that means specific feeding times, walk routes, or bedtime rituals. I love detailed notes and will stick to whatever makes your fur baby feel most comfortable. Safety is my top priority. I always leash dogs on walks, stay aware of my surroundings, and take extra precautions to prevent accidents. I’m hyper-vigilant, meaning I proactively look out for potential risks and do everything I can to keep your pet safe and happy. Your home and pet’s well-being are in caring, responsible hands, and I strive to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet while you’re away.

Information Christy S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I love to know as much as possible to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. Every pet has their own personality, preferences, and quirks, so I appreciate details like: ✔️ Daily routine (feeding times, potty breaks, favorite activities) ✔️ Temperament & behaviors (shy, playful, anxious, etc.) ✔️ Any special needs or medical concerns (medications, mobility issues, allergies) ✔️ Favorite toys, treats, or comfort items ✔️ Walking habits & leash behavior (pulls, reactive, loves to sniff) I always aim to follow your pet’s usual schedule and stick to what makes them feel safe and happy. The more I know, the better I can provide the best possible care! Written instructions are amazing and will help me care for your pet exactly as needed! ❤️

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor each day to what makes them happiest! Whether they love playtime, belly rubs, or just good company, I make sure they feel loved and entertained while you’re away. For dogs, I offer sniffing walks, outdoor playtime on nice days, and games like seek-and-find with treats to keep their minds active. If they love toys, we’ll have fun playing with their favorites! For cats, I provide interactive play, gentle petting (if they enjoy it), and cozy companionship to keep them comfortable. And of course, cuddles are always on the agenda—if your pet is a snuggler, I’m happy to provide all the love and attention they want! Each day is about fun, comfort, and keeping your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for until you return!

Loving Care When You Can’t Be There

Pet care experience

Put your mind at ease knowing your pet will be well cared for and loved like family while you’re away! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether your pet needs a playful walk, a comforting drop-in visit, or extended care, I provide reliable, attentive, and personalized pet care to fit their unique needs.

Christy is a wonderful person and dog sitter! Kind, loving, caring and a true pet lover. The photos she sent throughout her visit demonstrated how happy my dog was with her care and companionship. A wonderful experience for all.
