Highlights
Pet care experience
Active & flexible sitter/walker
With a degree in Animal Science and Management, and over 15 years experience of working with and caring for animals, I have a sound knowledge base and a genuine passion to work with animals and ensure their wellbeing. I am a strong empath, so I have always adored and gravitated towards animals - I believe I offer them a safe and happy space while they offer me the same in return! I believe in respecting their individual personality and needs. My husband and I have a rescue dog, Dexter. He is a staffi crossed greyhound, and has his own specific set of needs, so we are very aware of how important it is to be mindful of a dog's cues, routine, space, etc. You can be happy knowing that I will follow whatever guidelines you have for your house and pet.

Safety, trust & environment
Our dog, Dexter is fairly high maintenance so I am used to providing on-lead exercise at specific times of the day, I can administer medication, and I am used to offering food in a scatter-fed/enrichment approach. I used to own a Newfoundland and worked as a dog walker for the GSPCA (Guernsey equivalent of the RSPCA), so I have experience walking and handling larger breeds, and assisting pets with mobility issues. I will follow your schedule if you have one, or I can employ our schedule if that suits you: Early morning meds (if necessary). Walk & breakfast Rest Lunch Play/another walk More rest Dinner & evening meds (if necessary) Finally, I am a gentle and compassionate dog owner. I have training in dog handling so I can be firm if necessary, but again I will always lead with their safety in mind.
Ratings and reviews
Thanks so much to Krissy for looking after my boys. They got their walks and attention. I got regular updates and Krissy was very flexible and attentive to my needs.
Chrissy looks after our little cockapoo Millie and she seems to love it when Chrissy comes to visit! A super lovely dog sitter and sends the cutest updates whilst away, thank you so much for everything- couldn’t recommend Chrissy more!
