Purrs, zoomies, and tail wags <3

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm with pets of all sorts. Obedience trained my family and friends' dogs, tamed a feral cat until he trusted us to hold him any sort of way, rode horses, moved and doctored cattle, showed sheep at the fair, had my fair share of guinea pigs, rats, bearded dragons, and fish with my siblings. After college, I volunteered at another farm, helping with more horses, sheep, chickens, bunnies, miniature horses, and a cat. I also helped board and walk neighbors' dogs and loved each one. If all that doesn't tell you how much I enjoy animals, then let me set the record straight: I would love to spend time with and love on your pet! The more hair, purrs, zoomies, and tail wagging around the house, the better.

Christy took great care of our dog teddy! She sent daily updates and was able to accommodate a modification with our dates to an emergency. Will be using her again in the future!

Christy is one of our go to sitters for our energetic husky. Christy and her husband keep her safe and entertained and love her quirky personality. It feels like she has a second family that we trust when we’re out of town. :)

Our dog was safe and well cared for. He clearly felt safe with Christy. Thanks!

Christy took some amazing pictures of Posey and we appreciated her communication and flexibility.

Safety, trust & environment

Because I work full time, my services would be best for a pet who enjoys long naps, or self entertainment in our yard during the day. We have a fenced yard and an outdoor, shaded dog run. Let me know if your pet generally prefers staying inside or outside (cats will stay inside), and I can accommodate. I do not own a crate of any size, so please bring one with you if that's their happy place. Otherwise, we can provide a soft bed off the furniture and, of course, plenty of pets and play time after work.

Information Christy S. would like to know about your pet

Where's their favorite scratch spot? What are their command words, like "okay" or "release." Do they generally prefer staying inside or out? Are they people and other pet friendly?

A typical day

I love a good morning walk or jog to the park. On weekends, a hike or trip to a dog park might be in order!

I'm currently working from home full-time and will be able to take your pet on bathroom breaks throughout the day and walks at meal times. Over the weekend, a hike or a visit to a dog park would be in order! Rest assured, they will have easy pickings for pets and affection throughout the day.
