Information Alex F. would like to know about your pet

We have no breed preferences and believe all breeds are wonderful and deserve love. We do have a dog and a cat so we don't sit animals who are aggressive towards other dogs or cats. However, we do not bring our animals to house sittings, they are cared for by a close family friend.

A typical day

We have lovely parks nearby as well as a wonderful neighborhood to take your pet on walks. We love to engage the pets we watch in play time with their favorite toy. We love to play inside and outside. We will make sure to follow the routine you have set for your dog, whether house sitting or boarding. Your wish is our command.

Experienced Loving Pet Sitter!

Pet care experience

I have worked as a professional dog & cat sitter for 18 years but have 25+ years of animal care experience. My wife also has 25+ years of animal care experience. We will make sure your animals are loved, cared for, played with, walked, comforted and treated like a member of our family while in our care. We offer house sitting at your home and for repeat client, boarding in our home. We have lots of dog & cat toys. We have lots of experience house sitting & boarding. My wifes name is Cristina, who is an animal lover with many years of pet sitting experience and is home full time. Tator, our dog, is a cairn terrier with 3 legs, who loves all animals and is the kindest, sweetest, most gentle dog. He DOES NOT come to house sittings with us and is cared for by a close friend. Sterling, our cat is the friendliest cat and loves other animals. When pet sitting, we take potty breaks every 1-1.5 hours, we go on at least 2 longer walks a day but this will vary depending on your pets specific needs. We are very flexible about drop offs/drop ins/pick ups, last minute bookings, or extending your pets stay. Whether you have a pup who needs leash training, socializing etc. or a senior who may have slowed down a bit and needs special care, or you need a sitter and playmate for your cat, we are here to give the best care and attention to your furry best friend! Please read our amazing reviews by past client, most of which are current & permanent repeat clients. *We are a married couple who house sit together. Alex usually handles the meet & greets, but Cristina can come to the meet & greets, if requested*

Thank you so much Alex and Christina. They are the best. We've had them watch our pugs every time we are out of town and we wouldn't be able to enjoy our vacations worry free without them. They take the best care of our dogs and always send tons of photos and updates and we come home to a clean home! Thank you so much for all that you do.

Alex and Chrissy did a great job watching Monkey and Winston while I was away. Everything was exactly how I left it, and both cats seemed really happy and relaxed when I got home. I also got lots of pictures and updates while I was gone, which made it much easier to relax and enjoy my trip. It was such a nice experience, and I would absolutely book with them again.

I could tell Alex and Cristina played with Sully a lot. I think Sully was tired when I got home! I appreciate the affection they showed Sully while I was there. My house was undisturbed. Thank you so much!
