Information Christina & Brad I. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know a dogs preferences (sleeping, treats, kennel time, etc.) and usual temperament. Are they rambunctious with other dogs? Get overstimuled easily? Need a quiet place to relax? I want to make sure they feel safe and secure.

A typical day

A typical day consists of waking up and having snuggle time before heading outside to potty. Some of our dogs eat a light breakfast and play a little before I leave for work. When I return we go outside and do iur business and get some energy out. At the end of the evening we will wind down with body rubs or brushing. I enjoy teaching them new tricks and keeping them stimulated.

Pet care experience

Let me introduce myself. I am Christina and the proud owner of a Yorkie named Maggie, American Eskimo dog named Dewey and a Morkie named Harley. I am home every evening and are pretty flexible with our work hours. Our dogs are very well socialized and spoiled. Maggie loves her toys, Dewey loves to run, and Harley loves to sleep. I am very patient and consistent with my dogs. I enjoy teaching them new tricks and keeping them stimulated. I have five children, ages 13 to 19, that may not all be at the house at the same time . The kids are very helpful with taking the dogs for walks, feeding them and playing with them outside or inside. We live in a clean, smoke free 5 bedroom home. We have a large area to run and play. We live on 8 acres and take the dogs for walks often. Our deck is the length of the house and the animals enjoy spending time sunning themselves or watching birds, deer, etc.

My pups came home very tired! Sign of a good time? Not sure but they sure were quiet & slept a lot! Cristina said they did well & she would gladly take them again. The house was nice & spacious. I enjoyed the pictures, just wished there were a few more.

Christina and Brad babysat my foster while I was out of town. They were attentive to her needs and even have her a bath after Ginger had a potty accident. I received updates on how she was doing and even got a few pictures of her. Would definitely recommend and would use again!!

Christina is excellent with dogs! I have been around her personal dogs (and cats) and they are all treated as family members. She is great with dog care and creating a fun and playful atmosphere for them! Her love for dogs is always evident, even with others' dogs. She is a wonderful pet caregiver.
