Safety, trust & environment

My dog sleeps in a crate in the evening in my room. Your fur baby would as well. I keep the cats separate during bed time and meals to avoid food aggression or anxiety. Dogs will always be walked on a leash. I will crate the dog when I am not home to ensure their safety and comfort.

Information Christen K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs and if they are able to engage with my high energy Bugg pup! He loves new friends and comes on a little strong... If your dog tends to be reactive, my home may not be a good fit.

A typical day

Your dog can look forward to walks at the local park or a nice mile walk around my neighborhood. My house is located near a small body of water so they can enjoy watching the birds while hanging out on my hammock. In addition, I have sensory toys to help keep your dog entertained.

Lover of all pets!

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets my entire life. I’ve been around all different dog breeds- big and small. I find I have a special connection with cats, as I tend to bond with them quickly. I fostered a cat for 2.5 months. I have looked after many dog breeds including: German shepherd, husky, lab, Chihuahua, and golden retrievers. I enjoy the energy and unconditional love dogs provide.

Christen was very kind, very quick with messages and did a great job with our 2 high energy yorkies! She sent lots of pictures and updates. We highly recommend her!

Christen was awesome! She was easy to communicate with and was very transparent with photos and videos of how the stay was going. I would book her again! My dog returned home happy and tired from all the playing! Her doggo Leo is adorable and played so well with my pup!

Great experience! We needed care last minute and it was so great to find Christen! I feel our Ruby girl was well taken care of.
