Barking Mad for all fur babies!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Christian, I have 1 year experience as a working dog handler, with a focus in explosives detection. I've attended two separate courses and received certifications from both as an explosives detection dog team handler and trainer and operationally as a K9 cargo screener. I also have 10 years of experience as a dog owner. I have worked with dogs as small as 6 lbs up to 120 lbs, kind and gentle dogs, energetic dogs, and even dogs that can be a bit of a handful. I have a fenced yard and am available full time to make sure every pet in my home is well taken care of. I make sure to play with and love on my dogs as often as possible. I'm more than willing to load up your pets and take them to parks, on hikes, or even for a quick swim, as long as you're okay with it. All of my pets are loved and well cared for, each one gets individual attention. The standards I have for my pets' quality of life will be the cornerstone and guide I'll follow for the care I give to yours while they're with me.

By far the best person I’ve boarded with on this app! I was able to schedule boarding less than a week before Christmas with no problems. Christian was very responsive and detailed about how she would care for my dog. Gotti got one on one attention, learned a few tricks, and was treated like one of the family. I would absolutely book with Christian again and recommend anyone else looking to board their dog in this area.

Christian sent updates of my pup, was very friendly, and his play session at her house left him tired after coming home (which was a great help). (-:

Christian was AMAZING. We left our dog with her on such short notice for the Holidays and she was available. I love how she has a routine for the dogs which made me feel more safe. I also love how it was only my dog along with her personal dogs being watched after. I appreciated being able to pick my dog up with no behavior differentials as what I’ve seen when he’s been with a few other sitters. She kept him on his daily routine that I have for him & made sure he was comfortable. She also sent pics and videos frequently of King having fun. She sent updates & was very informative/knowledgeable. She also provided feedback in areas deemed necessary. Thankful for this stay!

Safety, trust & environment

I always schedule a meet and greet before confirming any booking; this helps everyone with peace of mind! I also require crate training and updated vaccinations. Because all pets have individual personailities, likes and dislikes, I'm unable to guarantee all dogs will like each other. Crate training allows me the ability to create safe places for each dog in the case the don't like or want to be around someone specific. I do have two children, a toddler amd am infant who are with me 24/7. All pets in my home are loved and treated as permanent residents. I'm a firm believer animals thrive in structure, because of this, we do have and enforce rules. Simple things to ensure respect and boundaries are upheld between all animals and humans. Things such as sleeping arrangements and furniture privileges can be adjusted to keep things as normal for your pets as possible!

Information Christian J. would like to know about your pet

Some things I want to know about; What does your dog's typical schedule look like? Do they have any fears or little quirks I should know about? Does your dog require any medications or special care? What are some special things you do for them? Do they have a favorite sport, game, or toy? Tell me some things they adore!

A typical day

Typically, my dogs are brought out for a 30 minute romp in the yard one at a time, good ole one-on-one time. This normally includes, fetch, some training and/or some brain games! We do this three to four times a day, alternating between solo time and group runs in the yard. Depending on the day we'll also alternate for walks or take a trip to the local park to explore new sights and smells. During weekends we like to hike. My significant other, Marc, and I have just returned to Utah a d are getting reacquaintedwith the surrounding areas. If you have any suggestions on places your dog enjoys, I'd love to hear them. Otherwise I'll hop on some apps and find great places for me and your pups to go.

Availability

Pet care is my top priority. My entire schedule revolves around it quite honestly. We have a house full of dogs, and as trainers/handlers, my significant other and I understand the importance of taking care of the animals that come to our home. When introducing new dogs to our crew we prefer to take a slow and safe approach. All new guests will begin on a 2 hour rotation. Two hours of activities, individual attention, and potty breaks, then our dogs will get two hours. This gives all of the four legged beings time to smell each other and keep safe distance until they're used to the others being around. We then start controlled introductions, introducing only one dog at a time, being sure not to overwhelm our new guests.
