About: I have had animals since I was a child. Currently, my husband & I have 4 dogs of all ages & 2 kittens. Animals make this life an amazing one & getting to share my passion with others is very important to me! I love the opportunity to help people out especially knowing what it is like to need help every now & then. I believe all animals deserve the same attention, love & care. If I can help in that way at all, it benefits the owner & the dog/cat as well! My animals are my world & I know yours are too. I would love to be able to give them the same love! My boys & girls are the best thing to ever happen to me. Anyone who feels the same is blessed!
“I have been using Susan for a month now with my puppy. She’s been in WONDERFUL hands. Bakes her cookies, sends lots of photos. I could be happier. She’s basically my puppies second home at this point. My little girl loves her!”

About: I have a giant playpen and crate for dogs who need their alone time or is required by the parents. Those doors are always open. No need to bring yours. I separate all dogs while eating and let them out when they’re done digesting their food. We mostly stay in the living room watching tv or outside. I have grown up with labs, chihuahuas and pit bulls. I typically volunteer at animal shelters and foster rescues. I have been dog/cat sitting for years for family and friends. I am comfortable giving medicine/vitamins. I am here most of the day. The dogs are able to go outside every 3 hours. * Meet & greets are not required. If you would like, meet & greets are 15 mins long Monday- Thursday 1p-7p. My job is flexible. However, if you’ve booked me less than 48 hrs, we will have to agree on a good time for a drop off. If you request to board, make sure you bring everything your dog needs for a successful stay. Appropriate size collars/harness, training pads, etc. I also provide a quiet relaxing space for dogs. If your dog barks excessively and not the casual barking here and there, I would not be able to babysit them. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I will do the same if there’s a question I’m not sure of.
About: Dogs are also family wouldn't you say they deserve the best care from the best dog caregiver!? With me your fur baby will receive attention through play time, be given time to run and play and have the love and care to continue to thrive. The Services I do provide are feeding, walks to keep your fur baby happy and healthy, fun time to keep them stimulated, to continue to build on their social skills and so they can routinely be working on their bonding with family, new faces and other dogs. Dogs are constantly growing and learning so the proper sitter is needed. My schedule is flexible, so it’s allows me to be available for any type of service that may come up. Around Special events and holidays I have more time to play with your fur baby and be more active. Making sure your dog is secure in my home or yours is my first priority. Because dogs are just like babies they can get into things so double checking doors and Gates is a must.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful and amazing Chrissy and her husband Dylan are. Not only did I make a very last-minute request on a holiday because I’m in from out of town, but they were so accommodating warm and wonderful with my dog Rosie. Rosie even had a poop accident too, which I felt terrible but they were so wonderful and understanding and even washed her blanket and Gave her a mini bath. They are an absolute treasure 100 stars if I could. My family is here and they will be my go to whenever I come to visit.
