Safety, trust & environment

Our home is very pet friendly. We have pet beds and blankets in every room as well as window seats with cushions so that the pet can look at squirrels all day long. We go for multiple walks a day with harness and leash in a neighborhood that has very little traffic. Our home is quiet and serene and will not add any stress to your pet. Pets seem to know if they can trust a person - - and we find that every dog or cat is happy to be in our company.

Crazy about dogs and cats

Pet care experience

We first adopted Nikko, our sweet Shih Tzu baby girl in 2002. From the minute she entered our lives we were absorbed in every part of her life. We were crazy about her and all the joy she brought to our lives. Then five years later, we adopted her five year old brother Nikki, who was rescued from a puppy mill in the south. We were immediately a family and were impressed by how much Nikko embraced Nikki and helped him to be a well adjusted family dog. We were all crazy about each other and spent as much time as possible together: playing games, going for walks, taking drives in the car. They were happy pups and we were thrilled that they were in our lives. We lost Nikki in 2015 and Nikko in 2018, Since that time we have been caring for neighbors dogs by walking them around the neighborhood, or feeding them when needed or watching them when they were out of town. Basically, we would support anyone who needed assistance in caring for their pet. We still do it today. After we lost Nikko in 2018, we saw that two Pekinese brothers were in need of a loving family because their 'mom' could no longer care for them. So we adopted Alvin and Oliver in 2018. We fell in love again and could not be happier that they were in our lives. Our dear sweet Alvin passed away from cancer last year but Oliver still graces our home with his loud snores and barks when he is hungry. We would love to care for your pet in anyway we can.

Christine’s passion for pets is perfectly demonstrated through the care she provides your pet(s). She’s very thorough & detailed oriented which makes the experience worry free. Also, she was willing to go above & beyond just pet care. We will definitively use her again if possible!

Christine was an incredible catsitter for us while we were away for the holidays. Our kitty needs insulin twice a day, and Christine was so thorough learning the process, and checking in with photos for each visit. It really made us feel reassured our kitty was doing well while we were away. Went above and beyond treating our baby and hone like her own!

Christine is very attentive to details and communicates with you during each visit. I was overseas and she made me feel comfortable knowing that Marley was safe and being well taken care of. I will definitely be rebooking with Christine in the future!
