Weekend Getaway Overnight Boarding

Pet care experience

Board your dog at my house while you are on vacation or on a weekend getaway. You drop off and pick up. I will love them like my own. A meet and greet is imperative before sitting.

Chris is a wonderful pet sitter. She takes care of your pet just like it is her own. I had no worries about my pet when I left him in her care. A very pleasant experience with a pet sitter. Thanks!! Debbie and wolfie

Amber loved staying with Chris! She had a blast meeting her work friends and walking near the water. Thank you so much for your great communication and taking care of Amber!

When you have a senior dog you’re going to seek a sitter that is willing to be more attentive and watchful to your dog. Chris immediately caught Lulu’s trust and quickly went to her. Chris listened to our instructions regarding Lulu’s meds; special dietary needs and assistance with the stairs. She sent us photos and you can easily see Lulu’s happy face and comfort. Chris also reported that she ended up sleeping in her own bed and cuddled in the morning. We are extremely happy and grateful to the love and attention she gave our sweet Lulu. We are already booking her in May and feel confident that Lulu is in loving care and will enjoy her stay with Chris.

I care for you dog as if they are my own! My chocolate lab passed away 6 months ago, so I figured why not board a few pups until I can figure out what breed will be my next fur baby! I live in a non-smoking home.

Information Chris M. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any special needs? Let me know if your dog has any behaviors that I should look for. I need to know if they get along with other animals and if they are people friendly. Please provide details about any dietary restrictions or allergies. Please include information about any medical conditions, physical disabilities, or medications. Is you do spayed or neutered? My townhome does have stairs, so your dog will need to be good with that. For smaller dogs, I can carry them up and down the stairs if need be. Is your dog anxious around others? Is your pets profile up-to-date with all dog sitting instructions and feeding instructions to include how much to feed? Is your emergency contact posted on your profile?

A typical day

There are several dogs in my townhome community so lots of fun smells and play area to explore. If you bring their toys, I will make sure they have plenty of exercise and playtime. With the bay so close, if your dog is a water dog, I will make sure to take your doggie for a visit (weather temps permitting). If we do go to the beach, I always rinse of doggie upon return.

The great thing about me is, if your dog is well behaved, I can bring your dog to work each day with me, which means boarding can include weekdays as well as weekends! Since I do not have a fenced in yard, each time we go outside your pup will be on a leash. I will walk your dog three times a day. (With extra potty trips in morning upon wake up, after playtime and before bedtime.)
