Highlights
Pet care experience
Here to make your pet be family
I used to be a manager at a dog shelter which I absolutely loved before moving to a new state. I’ve also grown up on a farm and handled all types of pets from goats, pigs, cows to dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I believe every animal deserves to be treated as family not just a pet.

Ratings and reviews
Tuscany had a great visit with Derek and Christina. I appreciated the regular updates and care they gave her.

As always, our doggos seem so happy when we get home. Derek and Christina always send up picture updates with each visit, and they’re very communicative. They are very reliable and trustworthy.


Derek and Christina are great with our dog and he has a great time there and is well cared for

Derek and Christina have been great with our pup. She is happy to see them and is clearly treated well. We also appreciate the daily updates and pics. When our flight was delayed, they were very helpful and responsive to our request to extend our booking.

Derek and family took such wonderful care of my sweet old guy Gus. He got really comfortable there :)

I am new to the area and I was looking for a new dog sitter for when I go back home. Derek and his wife, Christina, have been very communicative and adaptable. They were really good at keeping an open line of communication, sending me pictures, and providing me reassurance that my dog was okay. I am very anxious about how I leave my GSP with since he can get crazy! He loved being there! He looked like he enjoyed their company 🙂 I am definitely booking again, thank you so much!!

Schedule
I am always home until 3pm when I leave for work, but when I am not home my partner is home. Someone will always be there to take care of your furry or scaly family and will never be left without someone even for a second. They will be welcomed with love, play, and kindness in my home.
