She sent tons of photos and videos that really put our minds at ease while we were away since this was our first time boarding her.

Thank you so much for treating our dog like one of your own! 💕”
“They did a great job with Gracie and Baylor! We got fun photo’s while we were away and our dogs were happy, clean (and very tired from playing) when we picked them up. I can tell they were cared for very well, which me and my family appreciated VERY much! I would not hesitate to use their services. We already plan to use them again!!”
“Christina and family always go a wonderful job of dog sitting! She has a great fenced in yard and provides picture updates. Our dog is very excited and happy every time we drop her off at Christina's for a dog sitting!!!”
“Our dog Ralph stayed with Kryz for about 3 weeks, and by the time we picked him up - I was surprised to see he wasn't ready to leave them yet! He had such a great time. She has 3 very sweet dogs that were welcoming of Ralph right away. It was obvious from the pictures and videos she sent that he was having a blast with her and her family. Kryz was quick to respond back to us and made our vacation worry free! She’s the ideal host!”

“Lindsay and her family were great! It was our first time leaving our dog so we were pretty nervous and Lindsay put us at ease. She sent photos and messages throughout our trip! Our dog clearly enjoyed his time playing with her dogs and spending time with her family. He tends to be an anxious dog and he appeared extremely happy and calm when we picked him up! Thanks Lindsay and family!”

About: I have several years of experience with dogs. I have a full time job.i have a senior dog who needs medication every day what makes me stay home many times during the day. I have a full time job. The dog needs to be able to stay some hours alone with my dog. I always go back home during my lunch time. I live in a dog friendly apartment. I have a patio where the dogs can stay when the weather is appropriate. The dogs are allowed on the furniture.
About: My first job was at a vet clinic, where I worked for 3 years, feeding and watering the dogs and cats and taking them outside and on walks. My apartment has a dog park with lots of fun activities for the pups. I have a 3 year old energetic 16 lb aussie poo and a soon to be 12 year old 11 lb shihtzu/couch potato so I'm used to the active and the lazy lifestyle. Each week is different for work so I will update my schedule as I figure that out. Def message me if you have questions on a certain time frame. I sometimes crate my aussiepoo, so I do have one crate and am okay if you want to bring one over for your pet as well. If your pet is here often and is used to a crate, I'd likely invest in another crate for my home. Since I'm in an apartment, I leash the dogs to go outside and to the dog park- please let me know if you'd rather me not take your dog to the park. It's typically only 1-2 other dogs if any, when we go.

“Cintia took care of my dog Lola for 1 week. When I came back, Lola was very happy and well taken care. Cintia did her best to not disrupt my dog’s routine, walk her at least 3 times a day and feed her on the right time, and most important, the correct amount. She also has a very friendly dog, which made company to my dog when she was out for work. I would recommend Cintia to take care of your dog for an extended time.”
