Pet care experience

PETS ARE FAMILY! <3

I’ve been passionate about pet care since childhood—my family always had pets, so I grew up learning how to care for them. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in all aspects of pet care, from walking dogs and feeding cats to nurturing my own guinea pig. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep understanding of their needs at every life stage. Whether it’s training puppies to follow commands, providing gentle senior care for older pets, or simply offering companionship and playtime, I tailor my approach to ensure their well-being and happiness. My background has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating a safe, loving environment for every pet in my care.

Cristy took such great care of my kitten Sienna! She was easy to communicate with, extremely friendly, and very reliable throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. I’m so thankful for her. She took such wonderful care of my baby Sienna! :)

She’s very kind and communicative. We were able to book her last minute for a date night and was able to accommodate our dog’s needs. Our dog has anxiety when left alone so she was able to provide company and cuddles to our 5yr old dog named Lucy. We will definitely be calling Cristy for our next requests. Thank

Cristy did an amazing job house-sitting for us over the weekend! She was reliable, trustworthy, and took excellent care of our big poodle—feeding him on time and taking him on walks as needed. We felt completely at ease leaving our home and furry family member in her care. Highly recommend Cristy for anyone looking for a responsible and caring house sitter!

Cristy was good with my cat and everything went smoothly. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and my cat was well taken care of. I'd recommend her if you're looking for someone to watch your pet.

Schedule

I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide consistent, reliable pet care throughout the week. I'm available before and after work on weekdays, and I have open availability on weekends. I enjoy building pet care into my routine and can often accommodate different schedules to meet each pet's needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer caring for pets in their own home whenever possible because it's where they feel the safest, most comfortable, and can stick to their normal routine. I have experience working as a house manager, where I regularly cared for family pets while managing households, so I'm comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, administering basic care, cleaning up after pets, and keeping owners updated. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, and care while their family is away. But I am open to take care of them in my own home but we would have to discuss potential ideas etc. Thank you !

A typical day

A typical day starts with making sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, and gets plenty of attention. For dogs, I enjoy walks, indoor and outdoor play, games, cuddles and sticking to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. For cats, I provide playtime with their favorite toys, cuddles if they enjoy affection, and a calm environment where they feel safe. Throughout the day, I could send updates and photos if preferred so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for.

Before caring for your pet, I'd love to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, energy level, and any medications or special care they may need. Please let me know about any allergies, fears, behavioral quirks, or triggers, as well as how they interact with other people and animals. The more I know about your pet's personality and preferences, the better I can provide personalized care and help them feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away.
