What a wonderful and delightful young women! She is very unique and inspiring. Christian came a day early so we could explain what we needed. We enjoyed a nice dinner together. She has a confident, warm and calming presence which is why our orange tabby cat cuddled with her on her lap. (He never cuddles with us, but we love him. Ha!) She is an animal whisperer. Our cats (and us) felt an immediate connection to Christian. She communicated with us on a regular basis and sent incredible pictures of our cats. Our house was in perfect shape and the cats were happy. We can't wait to have her back!”

Christian was a 5 star petsitter. She is very easy to communicate with in setting up a the details of our housesit. She was very kind and we knew we were leaving our old dog in great hands. She took excellent care of our dog, giving him the 2-4 long walks he likes each day. She communicated with us regularly before, during & after the sit. She left our house immaculate. We highly highly recommend her. Thank you so much Christian, we hope to have you back again in the future.”

This was our first time using Trusted House Sitters and Christian and Nathanial did not disappoint. I felt an immediate comfort level with them. As we talked about caring for Parker and Boo it was apparent that they did their homework- they knew the details outlined in our welcome guide and they came prepared. We received daily updates and they provided us with the most amazing pictures of our kids. They are lovely and the most important part is I did not stress once while we were away- this was the longest trip we have been away from our pets. I would not hesitate to use them again and do hope that our paths cross again.”

We could not have asked for a more ideal solution for our Iggy/house sit than Christian and Nathaniel! A+++ on every count: communication, friendliness, regular updates (with BEAUTIFUL) photos of our boy, helped us when some unexpected things broke (the door key AND our freezer decided to give out while they were here and they handled it with aplomb!). Iggy barely missed us at all and that was exactly what we wanted - one happy boy :) We came home to a sparkling home and some extra goodies as a gift - unbelievable. This was our first sit through TrustedHousesitters (though I was an airbnb host for many years so knew much of the drill) and I have to say, it will be near impossible to beat these two <3 Much love and gratefulness to you both!”

I have had 25+ sitters over the last 5 years on THS and Christian and Nathaniel are the best I have ever had! They were available last minute and gave me complete peace of mind while I was out of town on a family emergency. Besides leaving the house cleaner than I left it, they communicated often and were flexible about timing - they even stayed an extra day to cover for me. I can't thank them enough or sing their praises high enough. My cats are friendly but they don't cuddle up on the bed with many sitters yet they moved right in with these guys! Beyond being the best sitters I have ever had, they are both amazing people that I would love to stay in touch with and have in my life. You would be beyond lucky to have Christian and/or Nathaniel stay at your home and care for your pets. I hope they come back again soon!”

Christian and her partner, Nate, spent two months caring for our dog and house needs while we were out of the country. I can’t sing their praises enough. They took incredible care of our home and were outstanding caretakers for our pup. Kind, thoughtful, amazing communicators and completely reliable, I’d have them back anytime for another stay. Just hope they’re available again!! I would absolutely recommend Christian to anyone.”

“Christian and Nathaniel took excellent care of our four cats for three weeks. We appreciated the open communications and many pictures and videos that Christian sent. The house was very well cared for and super clean upon our return. In addition to caring for the cats, they took care of multiple trash days and watering of plants. We would happily have Christian sit for us again.”

“Nathaniel and Christian were extraordinary house/kitty sitters. They were attentive during a big storm when we had power outages, potential pipe freezing, irrigation system to care for and a demanding black kitty. They cared for whatever concerns I had while I was away, sent beautiful photos, and left the home impeccable for an easy return back to normal. five stars on all fronts.”

“Christian and Nathaniel were fantastic! They are excellent communicators and were very flexible in working with us to get the sit arranged. We felt immediately at ease with them with our two dogs. While we were away the sent loads of adorable pictures so we knew our pets were being pampered and well taken care of. When we came back our place was in perfect order and our dogs were snoozing on the porch and barely noticed we had returned! We would absolutely love to have Christian and Nathaniel back again and would recommend them without reservation to others.”

“We were so happy to have Christian and Nathaniel back to care for our home and 2 cats. Our house was immaculate when we returned and our cats were happy and relaxed. We tried to get them back for a third time, but they were already booked! Our cats like to go outside on their leash and Christian makes sure they get their time out of doors. Great communication, very organized, and awesome photos.”

“We feel fortunate to have had Nathaniel and Christian cat sit for us for five days. Nathaniel was an excellent communicator with frequent texts and emails, each with amazing photos of our two cats. From the first day our cats were happy and seemed to bond quickly with these two animal lovers. Our cats like to go outside on a leash and they took them out daily. Everything was perfect when we returned home. The house was clean and orderly and our cats were happy. I would definitely recommend either Nathaniel or Christian. We hope to see them again!”

Christian and Nathaniel were AMAZING!! GRAB THEM! :). I was able to meet with them before the sit, and instantly felt comfortable with them. This was my first time having a petsitter for my cat, and I was nervous and a bit stressed - but I felt FINE leaving on my extended vacation. Christian communicated with me frequently -with pics of my cat- which was great. My cat was super happy upon my return- which was much earlier than planned due to Coronovirus. In fact, my cat was more snuggly than ever, and started sleeping with me :) and was not waking me up at 5 am as had used to do! (Though he is now back to early morning wake up meows- whatever magic they had done faded off hee) . My place was SUPER clean! What a treat ! Happy cat, Happy home, happy cat momma! 5 stars for sure.

“Christian is a very gentle, loving, and organized pet sitter. I’ve had eight really great pet sitters in the past year, and she is comparable to the very best of the group of a very amazing group! My dog Cricket was very fond of her and her boyfriend Nathaniel, who is also on trusted pet sitters. They took her for hikes, which Cricket adores, threw sticks for her, and took photos and videos. They are both amazing photographers by profession, so they were really able to capture the happy spirit of our Dog. The home was is perfect shape when we came home. Christian communicated the perfect amount, they had read the home guide before they arrived, all was tip top! But I want to end with their relaxed, clam, competent nature. It was easy to leave home knowing that they were there and easy to come home. Very highly recommended!”

“We couldn't have dreamed of a better house sitter! Christian was a great communicator throughout her 3 week stay in our home. We have an older calico rescue who she took great care of. Christian checked in and sent us beautiful pictures of our cat every few days. It was a nice reassurance that all was right at home while we were away. She cared for our home and kitty as if it were her own. Our cat, Lil Kim, was happy and content. We keep our house very tidy, and our home was spotless when we got home! We arrived home to a sweet card, bottle of wine, and some great photos of Lil Kim. Christian and her partner Nate are both accomplished photographers, and they left some great prints of their work as well. We would love to have them house sit for us next time we are away!”

“Because our time away was weather dependent, Christian agreed to wait until a few days before the sit until this issue was clear. We greatly appreciated her flexibility, even though she had photographic shoots in the offing. According to Mocha (our dog), Christian was the perfect sitter, following her (Mocha) on the bike through the forests and pastures that she knows so well, and then down to the beach at sunset. Christian left the house as clean as she found it (pretty darn clean!), and left us a nice photo of Mt. Hood since she learned we had lived in and around Portland at one time. Christian is a great photographer (see her web site). and she sent us a series of photos of Mocha on the trails and on the beach. We highly recommend her for house/pet sitting, and hope to engage her again in the future.”
