About the founder

Christy Castro, a NOVA native, founded The Unleashed Pet in 2012 to fill the need for transparent, professional in-home pet care with accountability. With SPOTCheck, our proprietary phone app, in hand she spent the next years gaining perspective as the care provider rather than the care receiver! This perspective was essential when building oversight and redundant transparency systems. By successfully filling the need, The Unleashed Pet flourished and continues to flourish today. We are, Taking the Lead!
