Pet care experience

Come stay & play with Buster Moon!

Hello! I have been taking care of / loving animals since childhood! We have 3 kitties and a goldendoodle named Buster Moon. I get so much joy in getting to love and learn about new animals! I understand it's hard for a pet to be in a new environment so there is alot of extra love and patience here. Before our new crew, we had a chocolate lab/boxer mix named Zephyr. He had alot of skin and ear problems, so I am experienced in giving medication.

Christene did an amazing job watching my fur baby for a week! He is just coming off a major surgery and she was able to give him all of his medications and keep him rested while we were away. She kept me updated with pictures and he seemed very happy there! Thank you again Christene!

This was our first time leaving our precious fur baby with a pet sitter for 10 days, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Christene was incredibly caring, attentive, and treated Cooper like family. She sent us daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear that Cooper was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We highly recommend Christene to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter, and we will definitely be booking her again for future services!

Christene was easy to work with. She kept me updated about how Shelby was doing. Shelby came home happy. No evidence of stress. She is a bit tired, but what else should a dog be when she gets to play with others?!? I will definite use Christen again.

Our little girl, Abby, seemed very comfortable with Christene and Buster. She communicated updates almost daily and was sincerely loving towards our twelve-year-old dog. Abby didn't even give my husband the 'cold shoulder' once she returned to our home, something she has done in the past with different dog sitters! We highly recommend Christene!

Thank you Christene for kindly caring for our Harpo. As usual you took good care of him. It was a pleasant experience for us and our pooch. Warm hugs to Mr. Buster Moon. Mary Sue

Safety, trust & environment

While staying here, your pet will have endless play time with our pup Buster Moon !! Fenced in backyard for them to run around , and at least 2 walks a day around the neighborhood. The garage is remodeled into a finished room that has two large kennels in it. The fur babies can get tucked into their kennel at night (if requested by the owner). But I like to leave them out of the kennels, I'll even sleep with them in our guest room bedroom if required. They will get lots of love & praise, and get let out bright and early.

Pets

A typical day

My neighborhood has a neat little trail that I like to walk through with Buster ! They can explore the neighborhood together (leashed of course).
