About Us
Welcome to our little corner of the pet-sitting world! A little about us: We are a husband-and-wife team, Mike and Christina Walker, dedicated to providing the best care for your beloved pets since 2005. Our passion for animals runs deep, and we both have been lifelong pet lovers.
Before pet sitting, we both held positions in the corporate world with Christina working in the Administrative field and Mike working as an AutoCAD Drafter. Mike also worked for several years as a Commercial Illustrator.
In our personal time we enjoy reading, hiking, nature, music, art, watching movies (love the classics!), bird-watching and stargazing. Christina also enjoys singing and her life group at church. Mike loves playing guitar and fishing.
Our business has given us the platform to give back and volunteer in our community! We have served as active volunteers with the Douglas County Humane Society. Mike served on the web design committee and Christina served on the board for 3 years and was President of that organization.
Christina was also a member and volunteer with the American Business Women’s Association “ABWA” Douglas County Chapter and has served on the board.

Our Pets!
Meet our own kitties, Button and Nickel! These two sweet girls have lived with us for several years and have trained us well. 😉 Both are smart, affectionate and funny. Their playful antics have made us smile over the years and we can confirm that cats do, indeed, have a sense of humor!
They both have their own unique personalities but they share a fierce love of food! Button is our alarm clock and will paw us persistently in the mornings requesting breakfast. Nickel is always scheming about how to creatively acquire that next morsel!
