About Christy

I'm an experienced puppy wrangler, and also have experience caring for senior dogs - specifically aftercare for cruciate ligament reconstruction, ulcerated wounds, and arthritis.

I offer pet-sitting at the pets home only, and require a meet & greet prior. I like to familiarise myself with your babies, their personality, e.g, are they known to be an escape artist, do they experience separation anxiety, afraid of storms - anything that I'll need to give them the best care possible. Any medications or allergies, favourite toys, routine, house rules, etc. 

I don't have my calendar open for overnight visits regularly as my husband is an emergency first responder who works shift work, but I do offer that service occasionally when I'm able to accommodate. 

My goal with all pets I care for is to make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and safe while their family is away. And equally, provide you with the peace of mind that your furry family is being looked after with the same level of care you'd give them. I provide daily updates, photos, & happy to do things like taking the bins out, rotate lighting, etc. I'm an open book so if you have any questions, ask away.

Skills

Specific Skills

I speak English
+20 years of experience
I started volunteering for rescue organisations & pet sitting in high school. I've fostered and organised adoptions, coordinated international moves and import permits, worked with rescues to care for animals requiring post operative observation & care, and cared for my own pets through both routine and reconstructive surgeries - specifically aftercare for cruciate ligament reconstruction & ulcerated wounds. I've taken care of many pups with arthritis that limits their mobility - my boy is also a senior dog with arthritis himself. I even prepare homemade food for him to manage his weight and joint health. I've fostered both cats and pups, and even have a few foster fails to my name 🫶 The largest litter of puppies I've taken was 9, and the oldest pup I've had the privilege of spending time with was 21. I've cherished every moment. I love animals, and I know personally when I have to leave mine how stressful it is. Are they being tended to in the loving and meticulous way I would care for them? Are they happy? Are they getting attention and the special little things they love? I spend a lot of time when I'm away from them anxiously asking myself those very questions. My goal is to give other pet parents the peace of mind that their babies are incredibly happy, loved, comfortable, & safe, so everyone enjoys their time away
