“Christina exceeded all of our expectations throughout her stay in our apartment going above and beyond in pet care, communication, and cleanliness. She took the time to learn our doggo’s habits and made sure he got the care and attention he needs around the clock including walks, adventures, meals, cuddles, and medication administration. She sent daily updates (including pictures) and was able to make our vacation stress-free knowing our pup was well taken care of. In addition to Christina’s outstanding attention to our dog’s needs and her unexpectedly regular (and very reassuring) communication with us, we arrived to our apartment in better condition than we had left it. She had cleaned every room, stripped used sheets/towels, and even organized some closet space in preparation for our return. She surpassed our expectations in every aspect! Highly recommend.”

Jessica T.
“To whom it may concern, In the brief period of time that I've been acquainted with Jessica, her family and pets I've observed nothing but loving compassion for all living things. Her 2 dogs are well behaved and seem to be very healthy. I've had several opportunities to have Jessica take care of my pets when out of town for several days. When I picked them up they where relaxed and very happy and on later visits actually were excited to arrive back to Jessica.”
