Availability

Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m home and available throughout the day, so your pet will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and companionship. I work evenings delivering luggage for the airport, but I’m typically only gone for a few hours after 9:30 PM. During the day, I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, day care, and boarding supervision. My home has a secure fenced yard for easy potty breaks and safe play, and I only have one dog of my own—who stays separate from Rover pets. I also have a young grandchild in the home, so I maintain a structured, safety-focused environment. Your pet will be in good hands, with care that’s consistent, personalized, and reliable.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a calm, structured environment with clear boundaries and lots of love. Pets in my care have their own designated space and are always supervised during play, feeding, and downtime. I have one dog of my own, and my mother has another who stays in her room except to go outside. Rover pets are always kept separate from our personal dogs to reduce stress and ensure a smooth, safe stay. There’s a securely fenced yard for outdoor time, and the indoor space is pet-friendly, clean, and cozy. My young grandchild (under 5) lives in the home, so pets should be comfortable around children—but rest assured, interactions are always closely monitored for safety. I take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously. You can trust that they’ll be loved, well-cared for, and treated like one of the family—because that’s what they deserve. ❤️

Information Cristy C. would like to know about your pet

How they do around children (I have a grandchild under 5 in the home). Any reactivity, fear, or aggression triggers—especially toward other animals or strangers. Feeding routines, allergies, or medications Whether they’re crate-trained or free-roaming Their potty schedule and any house-training concerns If they’ve ever shown escape behavior (digging, jumping fences, door dashing) How they handle being alone briefly in a safe, secure area

A typical day

A typical day starts with potty breaks, fresh water, and breakfast, followed by outdoor time in the fenced yard for exercise and play. I make sure each pet gets individual attention—whether that's snuggles, training reinforcement, or just relaxed companionship. Throughout the day, pets enjoy a mix of indoor comfort and outdoor activity. I rotate quiet time with interactive play and can follow any specific routines your pet is used to. If your pet requires medication, special meals, or extra walks, I make sure it's all handled with care and consistency. I’m home and hands-on during the day, stepping out briefly only in the late evening for a short airport delivery shift. During that time, your pet is in a secure, calm environment and never left unsupervised for long. Evenings include dinner, wind-down time, and one last potty break before bed. Whether they’re here for day care or overnight boarding, your pet will enjoy structure, affection, and a peaceful space they can feel safe in.

Christy kept me up to date on Fred. Morning, midday, evening messages and tons of pictures. Pick up and drop off we’re a breeze. Highly recommend Christy!

I am writing this review with a very saddened heart, as this has been a nightmare and the worst experience ever for me and my two dogs. I boarded my dogs with Cristy in her home from September 30 to October 3rd. She painted a beautiful picture sending me pictures and updates on how my dogs were doing while I was away, however; this was far from the truth. When I picked up my dogs, they overwhelmingly smelled of cigarette smoke, urine, and filth. Their coats, dog bags, toys, collars/leashes, and crate mattresses all had the most foul odor. Under Cristy’s profile it clearly states “non-smoking household”. We are a non-smoking household, as I am highly sensitive/allergic to cigarette smoke and made sure to book them with an appropriate sitter accordingly. It wasn’t until the first few minutes on the drive home that the smell became obviously apparent. When I was almost home, my youngest dog peed in the back of my car and projectile vomited all over, both of which she NEVER does. As I drove downhill, both the vomit and urine traveled underneath to the front seats and onto the front floorboards. The vomit was everywhere; on both dogs, the seats, the doors. I found splintered pieces of wood mixed with dog food in what she had spit up, and later found unidentifiable material in both of my dogs stool. My heart is absolutely broken for them and for what they had to endure in this unacceptable environment. After having very busy days while they were gone, this was the last thing I ever would have imagined having to come back to. I spent the entire afternoon and evening (around 4-5+ hours), bathing both dogs, washing their collars, leashes, dog toys, crates, and crate mattresses. It wasn’t until after dark I was finally able to feed, walk, and put both dogs to bed for the night. Honesty is the best policy. There are no words to describe the deceit and how it feels to be blatantly lied to. I trusted this person with my sweet babies and was left with disappointment and defeat. Pets and pet parents deserve FAR better than this. I really wanted to take the time to write a very detailed review to help avoid this from happening to any other pets and families. My experience with Cristy was absolutely and undoubtedly unprofessional. This is not a person I would ever leave my dogs with again. Although I would give a zero, my only option is 1 star in terms of review.
