Pet care experience
Fence is to be installed on May 1st! Yay so excited! Come let your pet enjoy a cozy VIP vacation while you are away! Only accepting up to 4 pets at a time to ensure lots of one-on-one attention. If you would prefer that your pet is boarded alone, just ask! Located just a few minutes off of Interstate 80 between Iowa City & Des Moines. Offering a large, half acre yard on the edge of a tiny rural town. Lots of outside play time that includes walks, digging, fetch & water play! All pets welcome to snuggle up on the bed or couch. Pets are allowed to roam free within the home unless owner provides a kennel. Bottled water, refreshed daily, as well as all natural treats & plenty of toys provided. All areas & bedding cleaned & sanitized(with all natural products) before & after each guest. We want your pet to feel as at home & pampered as possible in a safe, loving home! No fence currently, however planning on installing one by this summer. We've got the survey done & working on price quotes! *Base price for boarding dogs will increase to $30/night after installation. Book now to lock in the current rate! Looking into other ways to enhance the yard for more puppy fun & open to suggestions! Hi, I'm Christina & I would love to care for your pet as my own. I am the person at a gathering that you will find sitting on the couch with the cat or playing fetch in the backyard. I have raised several puppies & many kittens, including caring for kittens from three days old after mama passed suddenly. I never get rid of a pet once they come into my life. Currently, I have a cat that is 17 years old & was born in my home. *I do offer a discount for weekends for house sitting. Friday & Saturday night is $45 each. I will adjust your rate to reflect this after receiving the request. *Any other accommodations or services you are interested in, just ask!
Reviews
Christina was an absolute life saver and angel. She helped get my dog while I was out of town for work and cared for her as if Nala was her own. I couldn't have asked for a better person. Nala went through a traumatic experience while I was gone, and Christina saved her from it. She is the ONE you want to watch your precious pets.
Wonderful as always! My cats so enjoy seeing Christina when I am out of town. Thank you so much!
Christina was amazing with our two six month old puppies. She worked with them on potty training, playing and keeping them feel the same love they get at home. I loved the photos and updates throughout the day. Will definitely be returning!
Christina looked after our little dog while we were on the cruise. We received photos and a report about our dog every day. Christina followed all our recommendations, we and our dog were very pleased that we chose Christina’s family. I highly recommend Christina's service!

Safety, trust & environment
I understand that some pets are shy & may take time to warm up. I will always walk in and greet the pets with a warm, friendly voice. I sit on the floor as I offer my hand for a sniff & let the pet tell me that it is ok to pet them.
Home
Information Christina B. would like to know about your pet
What does your pet's typical feeding & potty break schedule look like? Any allergies or things to avoid? Can they have treats & bites of people food(I mostly buy all natural treats)? Any commands your pet knows or would like us to work on? Any triggers to be aware of when on a leash? I will do my best to ensure they feel safe & comfortable with me.
A typical day
I enjoy getting outside with the dogs and playing or going for a walk/run. For those that like to swim, I have a small dog pool or we can go to the river for a fun adventure. I also really enjoy a good snuggle with the pets. Let me know if there is anything special your pets enjoy and I will be happy to indulge.

I am currently attending an online college and looking for a remote job. This leaves my schedule very open and flexible. I am available to care for pets 24/7 and give them the attention they deserve.
