A home away from home for your pet!

Pet care experience

Hello! Tim & I love dogs! We wanted to get the chance to meet some new breeds and through rover, we've gotten the chance to do that and gained a ton of experience as pet watchers as well. Our regular customers have become friends and their pets have found a home away from home at our humble abode. We do our best to provide a comforting atmosphere for your dog - so both you and them can relax while you're away! We send pictures of your dog enjoying the town and our home :) Please feel free to message us with any questions! We are looking forward to sitting your pet!

Kristina is the absolute best!! She cares for Fiona like she’s her own and always keep me updated on her adventures. She’s super flexible and understanding if plans change.

Kristina is a fantastic sitter. She watches my very large lab/golden mix on a regular basis. When Jake comes home from his stay with Kristina he is always tired out from so much play time (Jake is a very high energy- but well behaved 2 year old). Kristina is always willing to be flexible with me on pick up and drop offs times. I travel quite a bit and she is always the first person I reach out to without hesitation. We even drive farther since her move from Manayunk to Philly, because we love her that much!

The evening prior to Maddie's stay with Kristina I received a text asking if Maddie was good with other dogs. Kristina's profile states she only takes one client at a time and does not have a dog so I wondered why she was asking. I thought maybe it was to take Maddie to a dog park. Unfortunately when I answered the email the morning of Maddie's stay, I found out that Kristina was sitting another dog. At that point it was too late for me to find another dog sitter for Maddie. Maddie is a 12lb dog. The other dog Kristina was sitting was one size down from a great dane and not well behaved. I was extremely reluctant to leave Maddie, however I could not rearrange my trip. I think Kristina tried to keep the two dogs apart but in a very small apartment the large dog was always near. If it is important to you that the sitter take only one client at a time, please be certain to inquire if Kristina is sitting the part great dane during your dog's stay since the part great dane is watched by Kristina once a month on a regular basis.

Kristina's love for animals was evident at an early age. She was brought up with a beautiful golden retriever which she raised as her own. She has since graduated from college and has been incredibly successful early in her career. She has a beautiful place just outside the Philadelphia area. I assure you, your pet could not be left in more loving hands.
