Pet care experience

Teacher who loves animals!

I'm 40 years old and have grown up with dogs and cats in my home my entire life, so I understand how hard it can be to leave them. I would love to take care of your special four-legged family member while you are away. I have experience caring for all types of dogs, from Great Danes to Yorkshire Terriers. My sweet 13-year-old bull terrier, Morrison, recently passed away, and I am now in a position to care for other animals in need of a loving space. I will treat your pet with the same love and care that I would want someone to have given Morrison. My cat Jen is an aloof but welcoming co-host, your pet will feel right at home.

We truly couldn’t have asked for better sitters! I was such a nervous wreck leaving Charlie for the first time, but Christine and Collin immediately put me at ease with a sweet update of Charlie snuggling up with them. When we picked him up the next day, he was calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. We would 100% use them again!

Christine and Colin took amazing care of my Tieghan! It was my first time leaving her with someone outside of family and I felt comfortable from the minute I dropped her off. They sent consistent pictures and updates on how she was doing throughout the 5 days I was gone and were really flexible with pick up and drop off times. Tieghan barely wanted to leave when I arrived to take her home and it was clear they really treated her as their own! I will absolutely be using Christine and Colin again and cannot recommend them enough.

Christine and Colin are the best! We couldn’t recommend them more. It’s so nice to know Harry is in such great care and makes leaving so much easier for us. Thank you again!!! ❤️

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in front yard for running around safely. Inside, we have a dog bed, guest room, and spacious 3rd floor available for any special needs. However, I am more than happy to treat your pet as one of my own, allowing them to enjoy the house and furniture just like family.

Pets

A typical day

I love to engage pets in a variety of fun and stimulating activities to ensure they have a great time while they're with me. For dogs, we'll enjoy plenty of outdoor playtime in our secured front yard in addition to neighborhood walks. For indoor fun, we'll have interactive play sessions with their favorite toys, and I'll provide lots of cuddles and attention. Additionally, I'm happy to offer any specific activities your pet enjoys, whether it's a particular game, puzzle toys, or just some quiet time lounging on the couch. I aim to make their stay enjoyable, comfortable, and filled with affection.
