Pet care experience

We have a busy, loving home with 3 kids, one cat, & two dogs. If your dog loves to be with a busy family, we're the right place for you. I have many years of pet care experience including veterinary care and dog training experience (specifically, I've trained my own dogs through the Petsmart dog training program and passed the Canine Good Citizen test). I'm very comfortable around all types of dogs and animals. I've always treated my pets as part of our family and would always treat any animal in my care with the same devotion. We have three kids (ages 14-16) and they are all used to animals and they are very caring and love to play with all the dogs when they come home from school. The cats can easily avoid the dogs if they want to as they have their own outdoor catio and room. We keep our air conditioner on for our dog already during hot days so any dogs with thick fur will feel very comfortable. There's no carpet in our house so potty issues are easier to manage as well.

Chris is by far the best dog sitter there is ! I always feel super confident leaving Mafalda with her. She’s the only person I fully trust to take the best care of our furry baby !

Chris is awesome . She remembers to do the little things that matter for my senior Border Collie. She’s also very flexible with my sometimes shifting schedule .

A typical day

There's a lovely bike path near our house where I take my dog for walks almost every day. If we can't get to the path for a walk or run, we can go for quicker walks around our neighborhood, which is enclosed (i.e. not near any major roadways). We also have a good sized back yard and covered patio for the dogs to run and play in.
