Christina, We think you are wonderful. Your attention to detail is exemplary. Your level of responsibility far exceeds the norm. We can leave knowing that our “family” will be well taken care of and that you will treat them and our home as your own. Thank you very much for all you do to make it easy for us to relax on our travels. We look forward to a long and friendly relationship! Professionally we already have that relationship. You go above and beyond.     Sharyn & Gary

Dear Christina, We couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you so very much. We were able to see our granddaughter and leave home knowing our pets would be safe, loved, and well taken care of. That peace of mind meant the world to us. Thank you so very much again.   Patti & Greg

Dear Christina, Thank you for always taking such good care of Skip. We wouldn’t trust anyone else to be able to know what his needs are. Thank you!   Dadee & Conrad

Felt totally comfortable with all [honesty, dependability, trustworthiness].  Our dog just lost his companion of 11 years; Christina was great, gave him lots of attention.  House and barn looked great.

Our gelding has a problem with aggressive behavior—biting—so safety being the biggest factor, Christina was able to handle him firmly but with respect. Understanding this horse was a main concern for us, and we were so happy that Smokey and Christina were able to form a bond. 

It is comforting to know the person watching your home and animals is doing so with the same care I do. Pongo (my dog) misses Christina.  He goes to the guest room looking in the door. 

Christina, thanks so much!   Laurie & Jim

Completely trustworthy. More than a friend; she is “family.” Christina is very capable and knowledgeable of a wide variety of species. Everything is always clean and neater—better than when I left! She is knowledgeable and experienced and competent to detect changes in behavior or mood.  Her commitment to the pets is the “best.” Christina makes sure they are fed, groomed, and cared for emotionally as well!    Carolyn

From the moment she met Ben, Christina provided us with peace of mind. She is very knowledgeable about animals and is confident in her abilities. Having owned a bulldog herself, Christina has a strong knowledge of Ben’s needs. She and Ben are good buddies, and she took great care and attention with him. Our house was cleaner than we left it.  Christina provided detailed notes. Noticed some health issues we hadn’t seen previously. Excellent job!    Jen & Mike

Thanks again for the perfect ending to our vacation: a return to a neat, well-cared-for home and a happy, healthy pet. I’m wondering what you did to Ripley. She is acting like a perfect angel—so calm and serene, following us around and sitting at our feet. You should say you throw in a little dog training service included in your fee!    Marlys & Tom

This was the very first time my husband and I took a vacation and did not worry. Pets are like kids—a 24-hour devotion to the care and raising and loving of those you have chosen to share your life with. They become everything to you. So, to trust that we could be away and not have any concern was huge. In fact, it was surprising!

We have already recommended NHAPLHS in the short time since Christina was here. Without reservation. We couldn’t imagine that anyone could care and smile and be so devoted to our babies.

Pure and simple, Christina should be cloned and then distributed to all those in need. Her generosity of time is obvious—our Rudi and Susi looked for her for days after we returned. We had expected unsurpassed joy in their greeting upon our return. It was more as if we were somewhat frequent visitors, stopping by. They had hardly missed us. No summary could say any better how well Christina took care of our loves.

Don’t ever stop doing what you love to do, Christina. No doubt, the love you see coming back must make you happy, but look at who else you make happy—all of us!    Marcia and Norbert

We’d trust you 100% staying at our home again and caring for our “kids.”  Empathy with individual animals is fantastic!  Dogs loved Christina.  Everything in house, yard was well kept.  Even filled the bird bath!  Cleaned Molly’s ear when she was shaking her head, which took care of the problem.  Plays the piano—our dogs love to listen to George play the piano, so it was great Christina played piano while we were gone.    Cheryl & George

Great job—we felt completely at ease with you in charge.    Carol & Joel

Extremely detailed written agenda left for us to read. We were very secure in leaving with a baby llama due with Christina here watching over our animals. We are in the middle of fire season, and we felt that Christina would do the right thing with our animals and our home if anything was to happen. Very secure feeling that al would be handled to our satisfaction and beyond.    Susan & Russ

I felt much better having someone I could trust caring for my animals.    Tom

Christina does an excellent job. I trust Christina; she is very honest. She is very knowledgeable with large and small animals, very understanding of “needy” animal. She is very good at identifying problems. Christina makes a log of noteworthy things.    Maryan

I liked how you observed Bonnie’s BM—I can always tell how she’s feeling by that. Your written comments have all the right stuff!! Empathy—you bet! Thank you, Christina—you are a Godsend.    Marielle

Dear Christina, Thank you so much for the care you provided for my “babies” and my home. The dogs all seem happy and healthy—I think they will miss you!    Vicki

We really appreciated your notes. We felt all of the animals [2 cats, 4 dairy goats, 19 birds—chicken, geese, & ducks] were well cared for.    Fern & Jeff
