Christina is the best. There’s no one else I trust my dogs with. They always come back happy and I can leave them with her and never have to worry about them being ok or safe. She’s a wonderful person and we appreciate the care and loves she gives to our dogs while we’re away.

I always know Sadie is in good hands with Christina. She keeps her on schedule and the socialization with other dogs in her home is well supervised.
