Small dogs are our specialty!

Pet care experience

Hi, we're Christina and John. We live in a twin home in Mendota Heights, conveniently located just 7 minutes from the MSP International Airport. In 2012 we lost our 16 year old Toy Poodle “Teddy” due to health complications. He joined his friend, “Frankie” our Golden Retriever who we lost in 2010. We will love and miss them both forever.
 What this means for you...we will be able to give our undivided attention to your dog while staying with us! We are not yet ready to have another dog of our own and this works perfectly for us. Just a couple other important things to know:
 • We only take care of one dog at a time (unless it’s multiple dogs coming from the same home).
 • Available most holidays. Thank you for considering us! Christina and John Why I love dog sitting My husband and I both grew up with dogs and we've dog sat many times. About my yard We have a half acre lot. No fence, but we always put dogs on their leash and supervise them at all times while outside.

Wow. That's about the size of it. Christina and John are soooo AMAZING. They took exceptional care of our Morkie, Ruby, and were so communicative all along the way. I really missed our little girl, but Christina sent photos and daily updates, which truly made my being away easier. I can't recommend them enough. You can tell how much they love 'fur babies' as soon as you walk in the door. What a positive experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you. <3

Chris and her husband John were wonderful! We could tell when we met them that they were going to care for our dog like their own. The sent updates and pictures during her stay, and she was all tuckered out when we brought her home. We will definitely use them again if they're available! :)

Christine and John are the best! Our little Finn loves staying with them. They are great communicators and I love the videos and photos they send. Thanks for loving our baby.
