Flexible Pet Sitter

Hello! With over 15 years of dog sitting and kennel experience, my husband, Steven, and I are able to provide a safe and comforting home for your animal while you are away! We have one dog of our own that loves to play and exercise. He also loves to cuddle and get treats. Christina has raised guide dogs for the blind, worked with rescue dogs, trained service dogs, and assisted in nursing home with therapy dogs. We have been petsitting at homes for nearly 10 years and have gained over 50 customers that regularly call us! We are expanding our services to be offered in our home. Steven and I have a beautiful home with a fenced in backyard. The dogs absolutely love it! We love dogs so much and love meeting new dogs and getting to know their personalities. Steven has grown up with dogs of all breeds his entire life and loves to give cuddles to the pups more than to his own wife! We are now offering at home visits as well. Message us today! Christina is a flight attendant so the schedule does vary but between both Steven and Christina someone is usually always home unless out together for the occasional date night! We do have an infant daughter that is becoming accustomed to dogs. Our dog is extremely gentle and understands boundaries with the baby. We ask that your dog is familiar with infants and toddlers. The safety of our daughter and your dog(s) are a priority for us. We also offer drop in visits. The schedule varies for when steven is home to be with the baby. We are flexible and can adjust accordingly with our schedule and yours! Can't wait to hear from you!

I'm so glad I hired Christina to check in on my cat Fergus while we were away. She made sure to scoop his litter box, refilled his food and checked on his overall well being. I will definitely use her services again in the future and recommend her to to others.

We felt so comfortable leaving Sadie here for the week! It was so nice being away and not worrying about her!

Christina did a wonderful job with our Copper! He is shy, and takes a bit to warm up to people, but she was so understanding, and it didn’t take long at all for him to like her. She sent great updates, and I knew Copper was happy every time she came over.

Schedule

Our schedule is very flexible and we strive to be home as much as possible. If the dogs are home alone it is usually no more than 5 hours at a time. We ask for drop off and pick up to offer a window time. This helps us in our schedules too and to accommodate if the baby is sleeping.
