A Loving home away from home!
Pet care experience
I have cared for the pets of friends and family as needed for many years. Having pets my entire life-big,small,feathered & furry, I know it is hard being away from them and finding someone to love them just as much as you do. Every dog is welcomed as one of our own with snuggles, scratches, lots of love and attention, and the occasional home made dog biscuit! I am also available for guinea pigs! Every other week I am home full time, my schedule varies but usually isn't an issue. Most weekends we're hanging around the house doing yardwork or relaxing outside. Whenever we are outside, we want our/your dog to be with us. Whether it be throwing a ball, taking walks or just relaxing and getting some fresh air and sunshine our/your dog won't be left to sit in the house. We'll go for walks in the rain, sun, snow and dark (glow collar worn). All pets that we care for are treated as one of our own. We live in a rural area with just under an acre to play in (unfenced). Polly is our beagle terrier mix that loves having friends over. Dogs are welcome to sleep on the bed with the kids or we set up beds for them throughout the house. If your dog doesn't/can't do stairs, no worries-the kids take turns sleeping in the room the dog has chosen as their bedroom so they don't feel alone. Having the pups feeling safe, comfortable and loved is our priority.
Reviews
Christal and her family were super kind and accommodating, and it meant a lot to us to get updates during Brie’s stay! We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and would certainly book again. Thanks!!
Chrystal was very accommodating for drop off and pick up . My puppy seemed happy and no problems arose. Nice updates during his stay
Christal is such a fantastic human and such an animal lover! Her empathy and ability to connect with my pups is truly a blessing and her sweet family were so great with our girls as well! Thank you is never enough and we are grateful for you!!
It was fantastic! They did a great job and Delphie had a wonderful time.

Information Christal W. would like to know about your pet
Any behaviors that I would need to know about would be great. Please note we do have caged small animals in the house (guinea pigs). I'd like to know the activity level of the dog and if there is anything you are working on as far as training or tricks that we need to continue with. All dogs must be child and dog friendly. We would prefer to have the dog fully potty trained. If the dog is crate trained, please bring it with you. We have the space for it but no extras of our own. Meet and greets are highly encouraged. And if your dog is celebrating a birthday while with us we will definitely make sure its a doggone good one with homemade dog biscuits!
A typical day
Our typical day starts with getting everyone up and ready for the day- first thing is outside time for morning sniffs and doing doggy business. If its a school day we walk to the bus stop and then continue though the neighborhood. Throughout the day we play tug, toss a ball around or just sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. Most walks are around the neighborhood, we're in a rural area-sometimes we'll venture to the lake front or somewhere different. There are trails in the middle of our subdivision that we go exploring on for different scenery as well. If needed, I'll get up in the middle of the night to take out for potty breaks and the pup will be on a leash at that time.
