Pet care experience

I'll care for your pet as my own!

I'm a dog lover who looks forward to providing your pet extraordinary care in your absence. I know how difficult it is to leave a pet behind while you are away and the comfort it brings to leave them with someone who will provide individual attention while you are gone. I previously volunteered at Seattle Humane, so I'm well equipped to read your dog's behavior and ensure that their stay with me is a fun one. Why I love dog sitting I've long been a dog lover, having had a couple of dogs when I was young. I currently have 2 rescues, a senior terrier and a chihuahua/pug. I love meeting new dogs, playing and caring for them. Meet my pets I have 14 year old terrier mix named Milo and a 9 year old Chihuahua/pug mix named Pippa. Milo and Pippa are both sweet dogs that love to cuddle and are very friendly to other dogs. They are low energy dogs that mainly love a good nap, though they also enjoy long walks and trips to the dog park. I am comfortable administering medication; my older terrier has a bit of arthritis, so he receives anti-inflammatory or pain medication when needed.

We love Christy! She takes such good care of our pups, and even made them a special meal for Pipers 6th Birthday while we were gone ❤️ Wish she could move with us to Seattle!

Christy did a great job of caring for Romeo. He seemed to be very comfortable with her and enjoyed himself. She gave him lots of love and attention and kept us informed each day. Would totally use her services again for an over night stay or just doggie day care so he has friends to play with during the day. She is very chilled out and that keeps Romeo calm too.

Christy did a great job with our beagle! She seemed very happy and was well cared for over the weekend. Christy was also very easy to get in touch with throughout the stay!

Schedule

I work from home, so your pet will have my attention outside of the time that I have meetings. I can let them out regularly to my small fenced yard, and can take them for walks on the premises. I leave for short periods to attend exercise classes or run errands.

Safety, trust & environment

In my apartment, there is a small fenced yard that I can allow them to play in. I keep beds in my office, so they can hang out with me there while I'm working, or can hang out in the living area if that is their preference.

Pets

A typical day

I live in an apartment, so we will be walking near my home if the dogs are staying with me. When it is light later in the evenings or on weekends, I like to go to the dog run here on the premises or the dog park to let them run and play as long as you approve. Your dog can sleep in my bedroom, or the living area, wherever they are most comfortable. I work from home, so I'm here the majority of the time!

I live in a two-bedroom apartment, so small or medium dogs (English Bulldog or smaller) are best in my space and with my small dogs. I'd love to hear about your dogs personality and any special needs they might have. My pups tend to get along best with other low key dogs, as super high-energy dogs can make them a little edgy. I don't have any breed preferences, just so long as I am certain that the pups will get along, I am content.
