Pet care experience
Caring & Experienced Pet Pro
I’ve had pets in my life for over 35 years and can’t imagine a home without them. From dogs and cats to hamsters, chickens, goats, turtles, lizards, and birds - I’ve cared for them all. Growing up, I volunteered with the Humane Society and other animal organizations, which gave me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve developed a calm and nurturing approach that helps even shy pets feel comfortable. I also have experience with senior dogs and administering medications, so you can feel confident that your pet will get attentive and gentle care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just being a steady presence while you’re away, I provide the kind of care I’d want for my own pets.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I do not accept aggressive breeds and prefer small to medium dogs so I can ensure calm, safe interactions. If caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and maintain a clean, secure environment. I also make sure to stick closely to your pet’s routines to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. When pets stay with me, they’ll enjoy a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I tailor care to each pet - from energetic walks to slow, senior-friendly strolls. Above all, I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in trustworthy, caring hands.
Ratings and reviews
I truly can’t say enough about how amazing our dog walker is! From the very first day Cristie met Jet, my chocolate lab, it was clear she had a natural connection with dogs — and Jet instantly fell in love with her. See when I started working 12 hour long shifts I didn’t know how I was going to manage. I found Cristie through a recommendation from a friend and am so grateful I did, as she has been a God sent to help me care for Jet when I have a long shift! She’s reliable, kind, and incredibly attentive. Whether it’s pouring rain or blazing sunshine, she shows up with a smile, ready to give Jet the walk (and fun) he looks forward to all day. I get regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful messages that let me know how Jet is doing — it’s such a comfort to know he’s in the hands of someone who genuinely cares about his happiness and well-being. Jet absolutely lights up when he sees her. His tail starts wagging the second she pulls up — that alone tells me everything I need to know. She’s not just a dog walker; she’s become a part of Jet’s world and part of my family. I am so grateful for the love, time, and energy she puts into caring for Jet. She’s truly wonderful, and I feel incredibly lucky to have her!

Schedule
Animals are truly my passion - I sometimes joke that I prefer them to people, and it’s not far from the truth. I’m dependable, thoughtful, and flexible, which means I adapt easily to each pet’s unique needs and routines. I offer house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and daycare. I also occasionally host small to medium, non-aggressive dogs in my own home. My availability is open and flexible, so I can accommodate weekdays, weekends, evenings, and even last-minute requests. Because I focus on higher-quality, personalized care over high volume, your pet will get the attention they deserve every single time.

- Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My preference is for breeds that are low shedding.
