Christina was wonderful! Great communication and she took wonderful care of our dog Ruby. We will definitely be contacting her next time we need a sitter.

It's a little frustrating when I'm being asked every week if she can come visit my dog at a different time, even though I always book the same time per week. Plus having to reiterate the directions we discussed upon meeting, the same directions (such as feeding, taking off the harness in the kennel, not letting her on furniture in heat) that are in the dog's profile, and the same directions that are in notes posted in my home, tells me she's either not listening or doesn't care

Christina was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She is so kindhearted and caring, and she made sure they were comfortable and well taken care of. She kept me updated throughout their stay with messages and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. She was also very accommodating to their individual needs and little personalities. I truly appreciated the love and attention she gave them and would absolutely trust her with my babies again! ❤️

Conscientious and kind, Cristina is easy to work with and good with my dogs. I feel at ease knowing she will be letting them out during the day when I can’t be there to do it myself. Highly recommend!

Christina took great care of my cats. She was very professional, listened intently and followed my instructions for how I wanted them taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

If there is any special care needed for your pur babies, I will take that in full consideration and take care of them to the best of my abilities. Even if I am inexperienced with giving medication, I am willing to educate myself.
