We thought our energetic Border Collie mix might spend her vacation with Christine feeling sad and anxious, but Wiggly loved Christine's comfortable home and she especially loved socializing with the other canine guests. She played so hard with her new friends that Christine had to call occasional time outs! We will definitely book with Christine again.

My dog Tako was extremely well taken care of and I got frequent updates. Shanilka was very easy to communicate with and she was very flexible as my travel plans changed due to the weather. I will absolutely be using her again if I ever need!

Matthew with family is very accommodating and will entertain your dog for a great price! They went swimming and on long walks. Executed Ozzie’s food plan and supplements no problem. They sleep in the bed with their dogs which my dog liked. I’ll be a return customer if they’ll have us.

Donna provided very special care to Cocoa. She is a senior pup, and we are forever grateful that Donna provided updates as soon as anything of note happened. She was super responsive to all messages, and Cocoa was comfortable for the entire stay. We may not have Cocoa for much longer, and we are grateful that Donna was extra attentive to her needs and provided the best care possible. Many, many thanks.

Laurie and Richard helped me last minute when I struggled to find a dog sitter on a holiday weekend. They were also very accommodating to my travel schedule which was a little flux. My dog can be rather anxious but she quickly warmed up to them. The fact that they have a house with a yard was also a benefit to my pup! They also are true animal lovers and very patient with each animals needs and making sure they are comfortable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a pet sitter!

We’re so grateful for the care our sitter gave our two pups during their stay. What began as a few days of boarding turned into a longer stay because of an unexpected medical emergency, and she was incredibly kind, flexible, and accommodating the entire time. Knowing our dogs were safe, cared for, and in good hands brought us real peace of mind during a very stressful situation. We truly appreciate her compassion and would absolutely trust her again.
