What some customers have to say...

Saranne Segal wrote: Wow! Christy Gates is the absolute best pet sitter I have ever known-and I've known quite a few.  With two big dogs, four cats and two horses, I have quite a menagerie to be looked after.  And, like many people, I have a lot of emotion and money invested in my farm.  I would not be able to visit family and friends without the care and professional touches Christy provides.  I always come home to a happy and healthy crew and my barn and home are in perfect order.  I recommend Christy as often as possible-she is a fantastic professional!

Beth Creighton wrote: I’m one of those folks for whom my dogs were my first “babies.” I had Duffie, Morgan and Mallie for years before my three kids were born, and - trust me - they do not know they are dogs! Like children, my pups each have their own special characters and needs. Mallie is a Brittany and can run all day and all night, loves to play ball, and simply must be fed at her appointed hour. Morgan, a Westie, also possesses a high energy level, and an extremely small bladder, so his “outside trips” are frequent. Duffie, another Westie, battles Addison’s Disease and Pulmonary Fibrosis, requires extensive medication on a twice daily basis, a shot every 11 days, and special food. Additionally, due to her advanced age, she is blind and deaf, and has some issues with stairs and incontinence. But she knows her way around and she certainly knows love when it surrounds her. In fact, they all know love and care… and that is why they all know Christy.
 If you need to “duplicate yourself” in terms of the ability to fulfill your pets’ needs while you are on vacation, at work, or tending to whatever calls you away, I cannot more highly recommend Christy Gates of Christy’s Canines. I reluctantly looked into boarding options, thinking it was the only way all of my pets’ special needs could be addressed if I left town. These options were expensive, and there is no way they could approximate the professionalism, competency, customization, and care that Christy provides, and my “first kids” stayed in their own home. What a blessing it was for me – and my dogs - to find Christy!

Alison wrote:  From my very first conversation on the telephone with Christy, I felt confident that my two Golden Retrievers and my tabby would not only be cared for while I was on vacation, but that they would, in fact, be loved.  When I actually met Christy in person, I recognized her professionalism and passion for caring for animals instantly.  All I had to do was watch Max and Sam’s tails wagging enthusiastically when Christy came to the door; they absolutely adore her! Christy’s calming, relaxed personality radiates dependability, trustworthiness, and honesty.  I would not hesitate to recommend her services.  Knowing that Christy is caring for my animals and checking on my home when I am out of town puts my mind at ease.
