We 💜 a CUDDLE PUDDLE! 🐕
Pet care experience
We LOVE animals! I've worked with them professionally at a National Wildlife Refuge and in county conservation where I taught and encouraged others to embrace all things nature. Personally, I've had a furry friend for as long as I can remember; life just wouldn't be the same without a warm ball of dog (or many dogs!) curled up with me! I've trained, fostered, and re-homed ranging in breed from Chihuahuas to a Giant Malamute. My own needy doggos require meds so I'm adept at giving insulin and sticking to schedules. My teen is an animal softy who will happily cater when mom is busy so your baby will never be lonely. If you want to know anything else about me, please just ask! Excitedly looking forward to meeting you and your furry family! (If boarding multiple pets, price is negotiable... just ask! 😉) I'm an at-home Mama raising a pretty cool kiddo. Between the two of us, there is always someone home to cuddle, feed, walk, or play! (Grandpa gives cuddles too!) I have a fenced yard and open floor plan with lots of doggo snuggle spots... pets are welcome on couches, chairs, and beds and there are several dog beds spread throughout the house if your fur baby needs some alone quiet time. I stay with your fur babies and they have my undivided attention! 💐 If I have to step out for a moment, I make sure grandpa or the kiddo are home and with our animal visitors. I have a secure, fenced yard (4 ft. chain link) and plenty of experience with containing "escape artists". Ramps and steps are in place thoroughout the house and deck to help older or differently-abled furry friends explore. There are three of us, a whole extended family to love and look after your baby. My current doggos are old and small, unthreatening and very "chill" most of the time. There isn't much that a dog could do to surprise me and I'm adept at using treats for coercion. Who doesn't love a snack?!
Reviews
I really appreciated all the updates and pictures Chrissy provided. Given her expertise with dogs, Chrissy’s feedback about Murphy was also very helpful. Murphy had a great week and was well cared for!
Great care as always!
Chrissy was great! She sent us updates throughout our pups stay. Her home is a great environment and a true oasis for any dog. Our pup will be sleeping the next few days due to all the playing and fun she had at Chrissy's!
Our puggle Apache has had a bit of a hard row to hoe these last few weeks. I had to head out of town for a period and Chrissy and her crew were very welcoming to Apache. I was thrilled that she was willing to work with him and his idiosyncrasies. Thanks Chrissy!

We have a fenced backyard and spend lots of time outdoors throwing frisbee, balls, and sticks. My doggo, Drill, wears a tractiv (doggo fitbit) and has a goal of 250 active minutes that she exceeds every day!

Information Chrissy R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your dog has any fears or dislikes. Every pet is different. We have no problem with potty training or not-so-housebroken pets, just tell me in the beginning so we can all be prepared and comfortable (and my couch cushions can stay dry). If your baby requires medications, let's review ahead of time to make sure I give the best care. I'm confident giving shots, oral meds, drops, and even doggo inhalers so just say the word and it's done!
A typical day
We love to get outside whenever possible! We're a cuddle puddle family with plenty of blankets waiting to snuggle your pet right in. We'll play fetch, tug-o-war, or any other game your dog loves. We're happy to practice tricks and commands to keep your pup in prime shape. Just let us know and we'll accommodate. :)
