Christina is an amazing sitter! She took great care of our older dogs, including one who needs extra special care due to several ailments due to old age. She also took impeccable care of our house while we were away and it is always tidy when we return. Christina also makes sure to update us about the pups each day. I highly recommend her!

AMAZING! So lovely to work with. She puts me at ease when leaving little Marla Pooch. Leaves the place, and Marla, in better shape than when we left. VERY communicative and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend

This was our second time working with Christina! We love having her hang out with our sweet Marla Pooch. She's very flexible and a wonderful communicator. She takes amazing care of both our dog and our house. 10/10 would recommend.

Christina is such an amazing pet sitter. She is committed to doing an exceptional job, always on time, responsible and affectionate with my crazy boys. One of my dogs is a demand barker and even though we're working on it, it can be a little annoying to say the least. Christina's patience and willingness to challenge them with enrichment activities to keep their interest is stellar. My house is left spotless. She goes above and beyond in all of her care. Christina is so great about sending photos and brief messages am and pm so I can see those smiling fur baby faces. She's conscientious about asking questions and making sure the house is secure. I really appreciate everything does and will definitely continue to request her to sit. Thank you again Christina!

Christina is the best house and dog sitter ever. She really takes care of everything! Gave us daily updates and we did a face time so our fur baby could hear our voices.
