Pet care experience

Devoted to keeping dogs safe/happy

Cocker spaniels have been a part of my family my whole life. When I went to college in Houston, I missed being around dogs so I volunteered at a no-kill shelter, Friends For Life. With the organization, I cared for and walked the dogs that were being shown at the shelter's adoption center, and I fostered dogs in my apartment while their regular foster parents were on vacation. My husband, Brian, also grew up owning dogs and has a huge heart when it comes to caring for them. He has helped me watch and care for the dogs I have sat on Rover since the very beginning! Now that we are living in our own house in Forney, we love opening our home to more furry, fun-loving pets! Your dog will have access to a huge fenced yard, and is welcome to snuggle with us on our couch. And, of course, your dog will receive all the attention that a couple of child-less dog-lovers can give!

Five stars! Christina provided top-tier care for my Maltese, Winston, during a long stay. Her large yard was perfect for playtime, and her two small dogs were wonderful company for him. Winston came home happy and well-loved. Highly recommended!

Christina went out of her way to accommodate me with a booking sor dog sitting I needed to make on short notice. She has a beautiful yard and two small dogs of her own which were perfect companions for my Maltese. During my last booking, she was also able to cover a long booking I needed after another sitter canceled. I definitely trust Christina to care for my little guy and will check with her first in the future.

If I could give her and her husband 100+ stars I would. They are great. I will use them again. They took great care of shadow.

Christina took great care of our little Jasper while we were on vacation for a week. My husband and I were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. I will definitely reach out to Christina in the future and recommend her to others.

Schedule

I have a full-time job Monday thru Thursday, and have alternating Fridays off. I usually am out of the house between 8am and 7pm. My husband generally works until about 2pm, but his schedule changes day-to-day. Between the two of us, we can usually adjust our schedules, within reason, to what best suits your dog!
