Ratings and reviews
Christina did a home sit with our two golden retrievers. She is amazing and always goes above and beyond with twice daily communications and photos. Dogs are always well cared for and happy with lots of play and enrichment time. She even finds a way to do this with Arizona high temperatures over 110°. I can always tell the dogs are happy and healthy with Cristina's care because when we come home they're excitement time on our arrival is fairly short. Then they are looking for Christina for playtime within 15 minutes. Our home is left spotless and every detail is looked after. Fun, empathetic, energetic, responsible, knowledgeable, thorough and kind are just a few words that describe her care. Five star all around.
I know everyone say it, but Christina REALLY goes above and beyond. She knows I worry about my girl Marla. She took amazing care of her over the 4th of July weekend, which I was really worried about. She kept Marla safe and distracted from the fireworks and it was wonderful!!! She leaves the house looking better than when we left, and Marla is so happy when we get home. 10/10 would recommend!
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
Christina did a great job with Max and Zo, as always!
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.
