Pet care experience
Loving care for furry friends 🐶
Hello! 😊 I'm Christina, and I live with my partner, James, and our two boys, who are 7 and 4. We're a family of animal lovers, and animals have always been a big part of our lives. We have a 6-month-old puppy called Mollie, who is a lovely, playful girl and loves meeting other dogs. She's learnt that not every dog wants to play, so she's really good at giving them space when they need it. We also have our 14-year-old Chihuahua, Bettie, who's quite happy spending most of the day asleep and generally keeps herself to herself. I work for myself from home during the week, so your dog will have plenty of company during the day. Whether they're staying for daycare or while you're away on holiday, they'll be treated just like one of our own, with lots of fuss, cuddles and attention. We're lucky enough to live close to Ferry Meadows, so there are plenty of lovely walks nearby. We also have a big, fully enclosed garden where dogs can have a good run around or just enjoy a sniff. Inside, they're welcome on the sofa and can make themselves completely at home. I know leaving your dog with someone new can feel a bit daunting, so I'll make sure to keep you updated with photos and little messages, so you can see what they're getting up to and know they're happy and settled. Just to mention, our boys are both at school during the week, so they're out for most of the day. They're both very used to being around dogs, and Arthur (our eldest) always seems to form a really lovely bond with them. We call him our little "dog whisperer". 😊 If your dog prefers a quieter home, though, just send me a message and we can have a chat to see if we'd be a good match. If you've got any questions at all, just ask. I'd love to hear from you! 😊 --- **P.S.** I also offer drop-in visits for cats! I grew up with four cats, so I know how important it is to have someone reliable popping in while you're away. Whether it's feeding them, topping up their water, cleaning the litter tray or just giving them a bit of company and a fuss, I'm more than happy to help.

Ratings and reviews
Christina and her family were fantastic with our dogs Our dogs had never stayed away anywhere outside of our own home, but we were so happy that we found Christina and family. From the minute we met them we knew and felt really happy The dogs were going to be very well looked after. Thank you once again and we would absolutely highly recommend!
Christina is absolutely amazing. She understands that our Milli is elderly and not very sociable but she completely met her needs. Definitely 5 stars!
We are so happy with the level of care Christina provides. Our terrier, Jaffa Cake, is so well looked after. We receive great pictures and videos throughout his stay which make us chuckle. Jaffa becomes one of the family and this is a really lovey family. Jaffa loves playing with the boys and misses them when he comes home! We would strongly recommend!
Scott has the best time with Christina and her family. Highly recommend.
Brindley had a wonderful sleepover with Christina and her family. It was the first time we had left him with anyone other than family but Christina made it so easy. We had a meet and greet before the stay and the Brindley stayed for one night. He loved the garden and playing with Christina’s boys so much. We were sent updates with photos and videos which really helped us settle and see how much fun he was having. It was a real home from home and we felt so confident leaving him with her. Absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much!
Great sitter! Charlie loves her holidays with Christina.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether your dog stays with us or at your house, we’ll follow your routine and instructions. If they have a special diet or get a bit nervous, we can meet up beforehand to go over everything. I want to make sure both you and your furry friend feel completely comfortable and relaxed when they’re in our care. 😊

A typical day
Along with lots of cuddles and attention, I’m a big fan of being outdoors and love going for walks. If your dog is into adventures, we’ll have a great time exploring together!
