Pet Sitter in Salem, Oregon

Hi there! I'm Cristy. I'm an animal lover and have experience with just about any creatures you can think of! In addition to extensive experience in training dogs and puppies, I've also worked professionally with cats, small animals (mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, ferrets, etc.), reptiles, and fish, and am able to administer medications as necessary to all. I worked as a professional Dog Trainer for 7 years and had a private business training dogs as well, and graduated from the Animal Behavior College as a certified dog trainer. I also have professional experience with dog bathing and very basic grooming (ear cleaning, sanitary care, and nail trims) and knowledge of pet first aid. Lastly, I have a network of animal enthusiasts who also happen to work as groomers, trainers, and vet techs should I ever have questions that arise while I'm working with your fur babies. :) I am a believer in positive methods of training and care and am passionate about giving animals the best quality of life possible. When we choose to take an animal into our homes, we are committing to their care and accepting responsibility for not only their health, but their wellbeing and happiness. I'm a proud momma of 2 goofball dogs (both rescues)--one Black Lab (Gracie), and one Dalmatian () and an adopted Leopard Gecko named Stella. I've been the pet parent to numerous animals over the years, including dogs, cats, birds (cockatiels and finches), lizards (Chinese Water Dragon, Bearded Dragon, and Leopard Geckos), and several types of fish.
