Pet care experience

Four decades of loving fur babies!

We are a married couple and have have many years of experience taking care of animals as we’ve done rescue, fostering, litters and have many furbabies of our own! Dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, parrots, chinchillas - you name it, we’ve done it! We will take care of your baby as if he/she were one of our own - We have experience with little babies as well as seniors - We’ve had dogs that were paralyzed, blind, anxious, etc - from small chihuahuas to larger doodles, we love them all! Christy works full time but Carmine is retired from law enforcement after 26 years and has many years of experience with animals as well - he currently has some weekly dog and cat sitting jobs as he has all the time in the world to love your babies! It’s his calling! We can arrange our schedule around you so you don’t have to stress trying to find someone to care for your sweet furbaby while you’re away or at work! We will come into your home to care for your pet as I feel that’s easier on the pet - to be home in their own house - We come over as often as you need and will actually PLAY with your pet and spend time with him/her to make the time you’re away easier on the pet and the pet parents! We send you videos and pictures as well so you can relax and know the pet is okay! If we notice ANYTHING concerning, you’ll know!! We don’t play with it comes to the health and well-being of an animal! Please check out our reviews and feel free to contact us if you have any questions! Hope to meet you and your baby soon! While we care for several pets of our own, we don’t care for other pets in our home because of safety reasons - We have chihuahuas and they can be pretty territorial!

Carmine and Christy took such good care of our Sadie. They took time and worked with Sadie as she can be very timid. Sadie finally opened up to them and all was well.

They are amazing. Always communicate well and take excellent care of our babies - including an elder pupper that has a special diet and wears diapers.

Christen and Carmine took great care of my pupper while I was away on a business trip! Normally when I leave she is very sad and doesn't eat much, but they made sure to play with her outside/inside and keep her normal routine, which I think helped a lot. She seemed very happy to have them over!

They were awesome with Chase. We feel they went above and beyond with everything. Chase received new toys, mail was brought in, trash was taken out, and the house was left clean and in order. We will definitely hire them again.

The best information for us is to know any special needs/ allergies / medications / dietary needs your pet has, as well as energy level -
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
