Peaceful Loving Care, Organic Home

Pet care experience

Organic home and property . No toxic chemicals here. I clean and use natural products and essential oils to protect your favorite furry family members from toxins. Fostering & Loving furry family members for 35 years. Knowledgeable, Professional and Respectful of the particular needs & care of your pet. Completely fenced backyard with gardens, grass and cedar playground safe mulch. Visits to the dog park for extended socialization and running. Shaded hikes on nature trails during warmer summer days. I will keep your canine moving at a comfortable & healthy pace on walks and will assure his/her perfect comfort in an attentive, cozy, stress free home environment. Quiet, safe and dog friendly North Wilmington neighborhood. Experienced administering medications, including insulin shots. It is important for me to maintain control over dogs at all times. Due to a neck surgery, I am not accepting dogs strong enough to pull, tug or drag while on leash and walking. Rest assured your best friend will be kept happy and healthy while you are away. I am happy to keep you up to date with doggy messages, photos, and videos! You want your furry friend to be happy & healthy! So when you are working, vacationing or just plain busy.... I'm here to provide for your dogs simple life pleasures: car rides, walks, massages, exploration, socialization and play. An exercised, well attended to pet is a happy and healthy pet! I’ll care for and love your treasured pet like my own. I dog sit full time when i have a client. We walk the neighborhood, eat, play, cuddled, drink, do tricks, get treats, relax on porch, explore the yard, socialize with people or other dogs. When the dogs rest, i attend to their environment (my home), updating family with messages and photos, or updating my dogsitting schedule. I have a friendly dog to play with and keep your dog company. I treat your furry family member to massages, petting, walks, and play. I have a screened in porch that is perfect for hanging out in the shade and fresh air and i have a quaint cape cod that is small enough to always have your doggie in sight and not lost , but also spacious enough to wander around and find a favorite spot. There are 2 other people in the home to also interact with your prized pets and they love to be cuddled up to when they get home from a long day of work. There is so much peace and love in this home. In a clients home i simply become familiar with the doggies routine and keep their schedule consistent while also adding extra love and play to the day. Not to mention watering your beautiful flowers and gardens and collecting your mail to minimize signs of a family that is away.

I’m so pleased with the care Tina and Sophia provided for my babies. I had a lot of anxiety up to leaving them. Meeting Tina assured me that they were going to be in good hands, and boy were they! Seeing how well they were doing with the constant video updates gave me so much peace, I was able to enjoy my vacation. I was happy to see them socializing and playing with other dogs; they were happy with her, wished made me very happy. I will definitely be using her services again.

This is our Niko's third stay with Christina and up until yesterday I was comfortable leaving Niko with her and it seemed as if he had a good stay. We needed to pick Niko up early and was not able to get in touch with Christina...no responses on Rover. We got to her house unexpectedly and was greeted by a awful smell of Marijuana - I was so so disappointed. To think that my poor puppy dealt with this smell and whatever effects it had on him for 3 days. Additionally, I was told at pick-up that she loved Niko's bed and had other dogs sleep in his bed and she had Niko sleep in her bed. Now my husband asked at drop off if Niko needed his bed and if not he wasn't going to leave it. (He uses an expensive bed). I went to wash the bed because of it was returned with dog hair all over it and smelled horrible. When I removed the inserts it had urine all throughout the memory foam. I contacted Christina and was told she knows the dog who urinated on it and that she was contacting the parent and that they would replace the bed and nit to throw out the bed, she wanted to keep it. I was also told if I didn't want other dogs on it my husband should have made that clear at drop off. She was very defensive. I am very unhappy and disappointed. I do not recommend Christina anymore, as now I do not know what my poor puppy suffered while in her care.
