“Eliza took great care of my two elderly, stubborn dogs so I could take a last minute trip out of town. It’s always nerve wracking leaving the elderly pups but she made the transition smooth and comfortable for them.”
“Olive stayed w/ Christina & her husband for 4 wks while we were out of the country and she LOVED IT! I received many pictures of Olive and updates. I trust Christina with my baby! I’ll definitely call on her again. Olive had lots of fun and was happy with her 2 dogs also! They are sweet people!”
“Jerry was so good sending cute photos every day of Woody interacting with the other dogs. We could tell Woody was as happy as a clam and was actually a little depressed after he came home because he missed his buddies. Jerry's backyard is huge and perfect for high energy dogs. Everything was perfect. Thank you Jerry!”
“Jessica was amazing! She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. He was so happy and comfortable with her that I don’t think he even missed me! 😂🐾 I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter. 💕”
About: I live in Whitehouse with my husband Casey and our 2 little dogs Parker and Wally. We both work from home full time, which leaves us with plenty of availability to have dog friends come stay with us! We go walking regularly, have a secure yard, and our house is very dog friendly. Both my husband and I work from home full time, so we are home all day long. We are able to accommodate regular potty breaks in our large fenced backyard, and typically do walks in the morning or evening. I have lived in Whitehouse my entire life and am very familiar with the surrounding neighborhoods. I am very careful with my own dog (never unleashed, supervised backyard time) and will do the same with others pets. We treat our dogs and other dogs like family, ensuring the dogs are comfortable and safe when at our home.
