Pet care experience

24/7 Love by a Certified Trainer

I am a Certified Dog Trainer and I have taken care of dogs since I was a young child. Pet care is what I do full-time. Their health and safety, as well as emotional and physical needs, always come first. Dogs are my favorite thing in the world! I also love cats& any animals! I have volunteered at dog rescues, starting when I was 16, as a dog walker clear until more recently as Adoption Coordinator and Assistant to the Rescue Owner! I have fostered and saved 116 dogs from euthanasia by training them and finding them all homes! I specialize in working with shy or fearful dogs to help build their confidence. I will love your dog as my own. No age or size restrictions. I love to take them on outings to the park! Woof! :) I worked for the Government (VA) 26 years and now I am an Animal Behavior College Dog Obedience Instructor and have plenty of time to take superior care of your babies! I can walk your baby around your neighborhood or go to the park and take them for a car ride. You will receive a lot of photos & videos from me because I love taking pictures of dogs! I I will cuddle and play with your baby because that is what I truly love to do. Your pet will NOT be alone or sad at all! Daily walks x 2 and lots of playtime included. Long and short term care available. Any information about your fur baby is important to me so please provide as much information as possible. Do they like to be lazy or active? What are their likes and dislikes? Do they get along well with other dogs at home? Does your pup like to be snuggled or not? Feeding schedule and walking schedule? (If you have a set time, I can keep that schedule as well.)

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my first priority! I do not want to be responsible for teaching an aggressive dog how to socialize. Please advise if your dog has any likes or dislikes that I should be aware of.

This was my first time leaving my puppy with anyone he didn’t know in my home. My puppy is a barker and not friendly with strangers. Christy handled it well and by the end of the short vacation Rocky and Christy were friends. All went well and I will be using Christy again.

We felt very comfortable leaving our cats in Cristy’s care. She has a nice calm demeanor which goes a long way with animals especially kitties . Shes dependable, completed all things necessary , communicated well and spent some quality time with our cats. We will definitely use Cristy in the future.

Cristy was wonderful. She provided great care and companionship for our pets. She was very communicative while we were gone, which gave us real peace of mind.

Cristy was awesome! She made sure to follow instructions to feed our 3 kitties, take care of the litter boxes, play with them twice a day and was even kind enough to bring in a package that arrived while we were gone. We got great updates and photos and were not worried about their care in the least. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.
