Pet care experience

All day play and walks 3x a day!

Took some time off but now I am back. While your dogs are with me, we will hang out at the park across the street, play together in the fenced-in backyard, and wrestle in the house! All play time is supervised and I am home with the dogs all day. They'll get plenty of attention, belly rubs, and tug-of-war! Is your pup a couch potato? No problem! We have down time during the day too! I believe structured walks are an important part of your pet's stay, so all dogs staying with us get at least 3-4 walks a day (sometimes more if your dog is hyper or anxious). I'll keep you informed with updates, pictures, and videos of your dog's day. Being away from home is tough, but I try my hardest to make sure that your dogs feel at home, whether it's hanging with us in the kitchen as we make dinner, or lying next to me during TV time. We have two rescues - a 9 yr old male bichon mix named Matty and a 6 yr old female springer spaniel named Beatrice. My family and I have many years of experience as a foster family. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. Please feel free to message me with your questions!

We had a family trip planned and was faced with the concerning fact we had no one to watch Callie during our 6 days away. After searching through Rover we found Christian, but were concerned about her interaction with other dogs since she did not seem to like other dogs during training classes. During the meet and greet with Christian it became obvious that this was the person that would be best to board with. He took the time to talk to us, give us his background, showed his love for dogs, and detailed what the days and nights would be like. Although he is not a canine behaviourist, his understanding of dog behaviour and social interaction is top notch, and he ensures a safe environment exists for dogs like Callie (not aggressive with other dogs, but anxious) to help break her out of her shell. His interaction with the dogs is wonderful, and there is no doubt she got the attention she needed. I would recommend Christian without hesitation for your boarding and doggy day care needs.

Doggy Day Care • May 29, 2026

I’ve been traveling to different states for work and we ended up in Allentown, PA. My dog, Coconut, was also diagnosed with IMHA which is a life threatening disease. So I’m very particular about who watches her during the day. I had reached out to a few people last minute and many of them couldn’t accommodate. That was definitely for the best though because during the meet and greet with Christian, I got the sense that not only is he an awesome guy to chat with, he cares deeply about each and every dog in his care. Besides that, he’s also got everything planned out and organized which made me feel more than comfortable leaving my sick girl in his care. I received pictures and videos throughout the day showing how Coconut was interacting with the other doggos. And then on pickup he explained how she would act toward him in ways that I’ve only ever seen or known her to act like with me. So that’s an immediate signal to me that he cares for Coconut just as much as I do, and that she’s receptive to it. Definitely became my #1 trusted pet care specialist in Allentown. And I’d recommend everyone to book with him

It's already challenging finding a sitter who is okay with pitbulls. Adding to the challenge, I have a recent puppy adoption - no background information/don't know if there was any trauma, has separation anxiety, never in a doggy play group, and had never been without me or stayed with a sitter. I had the Meet and Greet with Christian and he was very detailed with his methods and purpose when it comes to dogs in his care. He was confident in his abilities and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him. Christian provided video updates with his input on behavioral observation, noting when and how the dogs were responding in the environment. Both dogs were very excited when I arrived to pick them up and slept the entire 2 hours back home. I highly recommend Christian for your doggy care.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 07, 2025

I am absolutely thrilled with the care Christian provided for my dog, Magnolia, during her daycare day. From the very first moment I reached out, Christian exceeded every expectation. He took the time to set up a comprehensive meet-and-greet, offering thoughtful and detailed information that instantly put me at ease and showed me just how dedicated he was to providing the best experience for my girl. Magnolia, being a rescue, is usually very shy and anxious around new people, but Christian’s warm, compassionate nature made her feel completely safe and comfortable. I was utterly amazed by how quickly they bonded. She walked right up to him, let him pet her, and even allowed him to pick her up multiple times — something I never imagined would happen so quickly with a dog as cautious as Magnolia. She’s such a sweet little ham once she’s comfortable, and it was truly magical to see how quickly they connected. From the moment I dropped her off to the second I picked her up, the entire experience was absolutely flawless. For the first time, I felt completely at ease leaving my precious girl with someone, knowing she was in the most loving, capable hands. When I went to pick her up, she was so happy and kept trying to go back to Christian. It was beyond heartwarming to see just how much she loved her time with him. The daily pictures and videos Christian sent throughout the day were such a thoughtful and reassuring touch. They not only gave me peace of mind, but also clearly showed the genuine care and affection he had for Magnolia. I can wholeheartedly say that I would recommend Christian to any dog owner without hesitation. I trust him completely with my sweet girl, and I know you will too. Thank you, Christian, for providing outstanding care for Magnolia. Your genuine kindness, unwavering professionalism, and exceptional dedication to her well-being have truly made all the difference. I’m forever grateful for the love and attention you gave to my baby!

My dog is a super hyper and energetic, a puller and at 60 plus sounds, thinks she is tiny. Christian was amazing with her.! Daily updates with pictures/videos. Took such good care of her for the week and half I was away. This was the first time my dog was away that long and I was so nervous considering how high energy she is and that can be difficult for some. Highly recommend!
