Chris took great care of our Vizsla, Kona. He gave us daily updates and pictures and walked her regularly. Just before drop off Kona had an unexpected trip to the vet due to a potential ear infection. When we brought the meds at drop off for him to administer for the week, he was very accommodating and gave them to her each day. We would definitely use Chris again!

Cheryl is always happy to spend the day with Chris and she’s always tuckered out from the play and interaction she gets there.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every dog like they were my dog! I have two golden retrievers that love everyone and everything. Expect plenty of playtime and a minimum of 1 outside potty break every 2-4 hours. Treats, feeding, & medications available on your schedule if provided. The safety & wellbeing of your dog is as important as my own. My home is completely dog proofed. There is nothing on the floor except chew toys like Nylabones & bison horns. Trash cans and counters are fenced off with 5 foot tall fences. We use the garage as an airlock for entry and exit so there is no chance a dog can slip past an open door and make it outside. We take special safety precautions for dogs with allergies, elder dogs, and puppies.

Information Chris K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any problems with sharing toys, resource guarding, requires medication, or has any special needs I need to know about.

A typical day

A typical day involves a lot of play with other dogs, tons of dog toys, timely potty breaks outside and at least one short walk around the neighborhood. Everyone gets a treat at bedtime and all dogs are fed separately away from the other dogs to prevent guarding of food.
