"It gives me great pleasure to recommend Christi Long's service to anyone who wishes superlative and caring assistance with their pets.  I found that Christi repeatedly put the well being of all animals in her charge ahead of her own well being - a characteristic rarely found in today's work force.

 

I also could put my complete trust in Christi regarding my home, which gave me peace of mind when I was away. Christi  began walking and caring for my rather shy AKC greyhound in 1998, twice a day, 7 days a week (including all holidays), after an accident prevented me from properly exercising him.  Not only did she provide a vital service allowing me to keep my dog, but Christi became an extended member of the family.

Christi's visits were always eagerly anticipated, and my dog actually mourned when she could not come - which was only a few days in the 6 year period (out of 365 days a year!). 

Should you have any reservations about using a pet service, please let me reassure you of Christi's singular expertise, responsibility and caring with pets."

"When our family moved to Collierville four years ago, I was lucky
enough to see an advertisement for PetPal in our local paper.  When
Christi came to meet me, my dog and four cats for the first time, I
knew she would be perfect for the job. 

She instantly built a great rapport with my dog and my cats immediately accepted her too which is higly unusual.  Christi is the most friendly, caring and professional
pet sitter I have had the pleasure of working with-- EVER.  She is a
wonderful person and is truly concerned for my dog and cats well
being.  I never worry about a thing when we leave town because I
always know that my animals are getting lots of love, attention and
quality care. 

Christi will not hesitate to go above and beyond the call of duty in animal care and once, a few Thanksgivings ago, she even saved the day for our toddler.  We accidentally left his lovey at home and Christi was kind enough to FedEx it to us so he could have it for the remainder of our week-long trip.  I cannot sing her
praises enough!  Any animal will be overjoyed if their human gives
Christi a call!

"I called Christi when my “first-born” fur baby (kitty), Peabody, needed to be checked on during the day as he was diabetic and prone to crashes mid-day. 

Peabody was 15 and had been diabetic for 5 years.  If he suffered a crash and did not receive care quickly, he could die.  I can assure you that I didn’t take this selection process lightly…to give someone not only the ultimate responsibility of the potential life/death care of my precious, Peabody, but also giving someone full access to my home on a daily basis.  It only took me a second to see Christi pet on Peabody to know she was the right person to entrust with this.  It was one of the best decisions that I have EVER made!   

 

Christi quickly became a true blessing to my life and that of Peabody’s.  Because of her special care and concern, she was able to save his life several times over the span of the next few years which gave me the miracle of having him healthy & happy for more years than I would have been able to without her.  I’ll never be able to thank Christi enough or have adequate words to tell her how much she means to me.  

 

Christi continues to be a key person in making sure that my fur babies are watched over.  Each time I leave town, I do so knowing that Christi is taking wonderful care of my pet family.  She is truly a treasure and someone very special.  I highly recommend her if you want the absolute best person to entrust with the welfare of your pets and the security of your home.  I have recommended Christi many, many times over the past 9 years and each person has been just as overwhelmed with her excellent service as I have been.  She never ceases to amaze me at the detailed effort she consistently gives to ensure that my fur babies are cared for to the ultimate degree.  If you can’t be home to care for them, Christi is the best next choice!"

"I have used Pet Pal for almost ten years. When I met with Christi for the first time, she was very professional - resume', references, etc. - but more importantly it was also immediately apparent how much she loved animals and they responded to her as well. She has never let me down in ten years. She not only checks on the food, water and litter box when she comes by but she also spends time with them and leaves notes for each day to let me know how the cats were doing. I trust Christi completely with my pets and in my house, and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting services. Me and my cats are so thankful for Christi!"

"Our 10 year old black Lab, Delilah, is part of our family.    From the
first time we met Christi three years ago, we knew she was the one we would
trust to take care of our special family member.   She has been the perfect
choice and we are glad to know she is ready to respond to us any time we
have to leave our girl.    We have complete confidence that Delilah and our
home are under watchful and loving eyes--what more could we ask?    She
came highly recommended and we certainly know why!"

"I have been using Pet Pal for about 10 years now. I am very protective of my children (two cats) and would always stress out about going on vacation. But then Christi was referred to me by a friend.

When I met her for the first time, she came into my house and immediately got down on her knees to greet my cats. I was surprised but it made me feel good that she wanted Tucker and Jenny to get to know her.

Christi is the only reason that I can enjoy my vacations. I know that my cats will get the best care and that I don't have to worry about anything.

And I love the note(s) that I have when I get back!"

"When I began looking for a pet sitter, I was extremely apprehensive because my Australian Shepherd, Echo, has quite an "attitude".  Understanding my concerns, Christi areed to meet Echo and spend some time getting acquainted to see how things went.  On the very first visit, Christi came in, sat down on the living room floor and Echo sat right in her lap!  It was immediately decided that Christi would be our pet sitter!

Echo and I adopted a 16 year old cat (Annie) three years ago, despite my extreme allergy.  Christi always gives Annie an extra measure of love and attention since my actual physical contact with her has to be limited.  She even brings her various treats to tempt her petite appetite.  She goes the extra mile.

Christi has been coming for almost 5 years on a regular basis.  I hate to tell my girls that I'm leaving but I know they will be happy and safe.  I know Echo will have frisbee time, too!

Christi is our hero.  She is dedicated and dependable and trustworthy.  My home is secure and in good hands.  Christi is much more than my pet sitter, she is truly part of our family.  She rates my highest recommendation!"

"We were referred to Christi two years ago when our sitter quit and have been very pleased with the transition. It was evident when she first saw my babies that she was an animal lover and they loved her immediately!

She has been there for us during several traumas in our lives and during our learning process when we learned out that one of our babies was diabetic. She has given our babies excellent care and love and has taken care of a couple of emergencies that have come up in the house while we've been out of town.

I can HIGHLY recommend her to anyone seeking a loving, caring person to care for their pet's needs. We love her! She is a part of the family."

"We have used Pet Pal services on numerous occasions and have always extremely satisfied. Both our dog and cat hate pet boarding away from home and Christi's exceptional care saves them from the stresses they would other wise suffer. Both animals run to her which is testimony enough of the love and attention she shows them. She is above and beyond what I would normally expect from a pet sitting service. Christi is the best---we will always use her service."

"We've been very satisfied customers of Christi's for almost 4 years now. I don't know what we'd do without her. Our Jack Russell, Riley, loves her, and we trust her completely; she's very professional and caring. Peace of mind is just a phone call away when you deal with Christi!!"

"I live in an assisted living facility and I could not have my Bo if it wasn't for Christi.  She comes 3 times a day, seven days a week and has for almost two years.  She has become like family to us.  If she can't make it herself, Joni or Jenna comes in her place and they are both so pleasant and dependable also.  I just don't know what I would do without her!"

"We got Buddy (our dog) over a year ago as a present for our daughter. Christi was recommended to us as a sitter to walk him each work day. For more than a year Christi has been a trustworthy and loving companion for Buddy and he looks forward to all her visits. Christi is very professional and a pleasure to add to our extended family. We all highly recommend her."

"I use Pet Pal to sit for my often ill, elderly cat and my young cat. Christi & Joni understand the special attention needed because of the older cat's age. They are also great about giving me daily status updates while I'm on the road, allowing me to relax and enjoy the trip...knowing that they're well cared for."

Cathy Mesa

"I just recently had Pet Pal watch my cat Mr. Andrews, my Maine Coon, while I was out of the country for the first time.

I have to say that I was more than impressed with their service and attention to my pet's needs. I will most definitely be using their services again!"

Jeremy Krause

"While I only use PetPal a few times a year, I've never had any problems whatsoever. My cat is always well fed and happy and I come home to a clean litter box. Thanks Christi!"
