About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. I have always been the go to sitter for friends and family. I am especially experienced with senior dogs and understand the patience, gentleness and extra care they need. I’ve also trained my own pets from a young age, so I’m comfortable working with both older and energetic puppies. Above all, my husband and I treat every pet like family. I work full-time, and my husband is an independent worker with a flexible schedule, so we tag team pet care throughout the day. Our routine allows us to provide check ins and potty breaks approximately every 2-4 hours. We make sure pets are never left alone for too long and always have the attention they need. We’re also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pets usual routine as closely as possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. While I have an unfenced yard, I always use leash and supervise pets closely during outdoor time. I have a calm home environment with open space for pets to walk, play and relax. My senior chihuahua has their own separate room, which helps maintain a peaceful setting and allows me to keep visiting pets comfortable and safe.
“Christian was so awesome with our Lucy girl! She stayed with him for 2 weeks and had the best time. He sent us tons of pictures and updates and made our baby his priority. It made being away from her a little easier seeing all the pics and knowing how well cared she was. He treated her just like she was his own. I would highly recommend Christian hands down for your fur babies!!! He will be our only goto when we can't bring our Lucy with us. Thanks for being so amazing!!!”
“Annette was Wonderful ? to my baby boy Lil Monster. She was caring to his personality & helped him over come some "friendliness" issues. She sent me pictures and comments often while I was away on a cruise. Which I truly appreciated. She was very caring and detailed. I plan to use her as a sitter again, always ! Thanks Annette- Happy we all met ?”
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of all dogs from breeding to just having pets. I have lots of knowledge when it comes to medical issues with dogs due to my experience with breeding and owning older animals. I work remotely so your animal will have someone home with them all hours of the day! I can take dogs for walks and to the dog park. They will also be able to play with my animals. I will take care of your animals as if they are my own. I love taking care of them and going for walks. They will have plenty of play time and walks.
