Enzo loves boarding and daycare with Cristina! She has been our go-to dog sitter for over a year now, and she is such an important part of Enzo’s family. She is reliable, a fantastic communicator, helpful with maintaining his routine, and even more helpful with upkeep on his training. We wouldn’t be able to survive without her!

Cristina is absolutely the best! Rudie loves every minute he spends with Cristina and her dog Jach. She is patient, caring and loving and I know that Rudie will be well cared for and given lots of love while he is in her home. There is lots of play time but also well needed rest integrated into the day. She is trustworthy, responsive and makes sure I get updates and pictures throughout the day. I can't thank Cristina enough for taking Rudie into her home, allowing him to play with other dogs in a safe, supervised environment. I highly recommend Cristina, she has made a huge difference in all of our lives!

Cristina is professional (!), easy-going and was very accommodating of my high energy, 10-month old pup. Her manner of communicating on how they're doing and how things are going sets a great example. I highly recommend entrusting her with your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

My fenced-in backyard has plenty of room for running and playing! Inside, we have several comfy couches for naps. My friendly dog Jach is both dog and cat-approved. He is lazy and will most likely nap and just enjoy the company. I want to keep your dog on a schedule as close to home as possible. We have extra beds, a large crate, extra toys and plenty of treats all depending on their schedule and needs. Upon booking, you will receive an online form from me to write out their eating, sleeping, and activity routine at home along with other important care info. All items and surfaces are disinfected so each dog is arriving is a safe and clean environment. During in home visits, I like the client to set their own guidelines for their home so that everyone feels safe, including the animals! I make sure to clean up after the animal so that coming home to your fur baby is a stress free, fresh and clean reunion ☺️ I offer nail trims and baths as well, upon request.
