POOCHES 'n' WHATNOT

Chris, we are so grateful for your outstanding care for our dogs & home when we’ve traveled as a family. Over the past 7 years, we have called upon Chris’ amazing pet care for all of our needs: mid-day playdates, week long care when we are on a family vacation. Tug & Tripp ADORE Chris & love going over her house to play with all their friends! Chris has even offered me suggestions & insight with pet behaviors as she has a level of expertise and care for our dogs that we so value! I recommend Pooches ‘n’ Whatnot work great confidence!

Chris watched our golden and my son's cat in the past. We rescued a black lab in November 2022 after our golden passed away. Oakley is more than a handful - very skittish, was never socialized - the typical COVID dog. We took her to stay with Chris while we were on vacation for 11 days and she came home a completely different dog! She was socialized with different dogs and was able to see how "dogs should be". She is now sure of herself, not nearly as skittish and is so much happier. I cannot say enough great things about the care and attention Chris gives each and every one of the dogs she cares for. Definitely a 5 STAR company! Thank you Chris for going above and beyond for our girl!

Chris has taken care of our big fella (a Borzoi) multiple times and we always know that he is safe with her. He has a great time playing with her pups and hanging out with their kitty. Chris is so good with dogs and totally understands our guy's personality and needs. We also had Tracy come over and care for our kitties and she was awesome, too! Thanks so much, Chris and Tracy, for all the loving care you give our babies!

When we moved from Minnesota 3 years ago, we were looking for someone to take of our dog Brody. We didn’t know anyone in the area, so we took a chance on Chris. Best decision ever! Chris took great care of Brody and we never worried about him when we were away. She is courteous, flexible, and dedicated to providing excellent service. Chris truly cares about the animals she takes care of. I wish there were more people who cared about their business as much as Chris does.

My wife and I have had Chris cat sit for us for the last five years anytime we go away for more than a day or two. She's always been very dependable and quick to respond. She really does it all - plays with the cats, feeds them, and takes care of the litter. She also sends us photos during her visits, which we look forward to. We'd definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a fantastic pet sitter.

We absolutely love Tracy! She is so incredibly reliable and she is totally in love with our pups! And they love her right back! I think they don't like when we come home honestly because she loves on them so much. We also had a 20 year old cat until he passed in March of this year, and he was high maintenance with food and medication! She was wonderful with him, as was Gale, another of the folks that work there. When he passed away they sent me a sympathy card and it meant so much to me to know he was so loved. Cannot recommend them enough!

Our dog is skittish around most people, but she loves Chris! Chris always takes great care of her. On our travels, it's nice to receive Chris's daily text message updates, complete with pictures of our dog enjoying playtime.
