LOVE IS A FOUR LEGGED WORD

Pet care experience

Summer is one of the best times to treat yourself to a vacation. But if you’re a dog lover, leaving your pup behind can make you feel guilty. We totally get it! This is why we bought a summer home in Maine (the Sea Dog) so we could always take our dogs on vacation with us. So a typical day the dogs eat breakfast between 6-7am I feed them a Limited Ingredient Grain Free food unless there's a specific food they eat. On busy weekdays I have an assistant named Tiffany help me with the dogs and stay behind with dogs that are not out on an adventure. Around 9:30am I take all the dogs out for a good hike. All sizes, breeds, and ages go. Sometimes I may put dogs in different groups according to age, size, and activity level. I meet with my friend Claudia and her Vizsla named Sabina. Claudia helps me manage the dogs. Typically we get back between noon-1. The dogs are famished so I feed them a lunch. After they play for about 10-15 minutes and then they tend to take a nap. If there are some recharged characters I take them out again later in the day when my husband gets home. If there are some that aren't up to going they stay behind with him. I feed them dinner around 6pm. And they may play a little in my backyard (fenced in). They typically fall asleep between 8-9pm.

Christie is awesome! Tiana loves going to spend time with her and she comes back exhausted. Christie takes such good care of the pups, sends lots of pictures and videos, and is so flexible. I definitely recommend Christie!
