Walk & board dog-half acre of land
Pet care experience
Are you looking for someone to walk your dog while you're at work? Or when you go on vacation do you not want to put your dog in a kennel? If that's the case I am here for you. I am a current dog walker and dog boarder. I have unbelievable references in 10 plus years experience. I board dogs while families are on vacation at my house or yours, whatever you're more comfortable. Making your animals more comfortable by working with them one-on-one is my job. If you are looking for a dog walk or just need someone to take care of your dog while you're away, I I am the one for you. I absolutely love working with dogs it is my passion, and I can't wait to meet your dog and start to build a relationship with them.

I just got a puppy and than had a family emergency and he couldn't come with me. Lenix is only 7 months old and not trained well so I really wasn't sure about leaving him. After talking to multiple people on Rover I decided to have Christina watch him. She was a God sent. She taught lenix how to sit and stay, and to not pull as much on the leash. She should be the techniques she used and I kept doing them. I was in shock how fast he learned. I just picked him up a week ago from Christina and it's like night and day. I got a totally different dog back (for the better) and I am beyond grateful for Christina because as a first time pet owner I was a little out of my league and lenix just ran my household. Now I'm in control and lenix is doing so well. Christina will be the only person I use for boarding, walking or whatever I need. Thank you so much Christina you have changed my life for the better.
Christina is unbelievable when it comes to my pup Bentley. He's a big boy a bernese mountain dog and about 110 lbs. Christina was great with him. He is a puppy still and loves to jump. I told Christina before hand we are teaching him not to jump on people because he is so big. When we met Christina he ran to her and tried to jump, she turned her back and told him down and he stopped. It was like a miracle it usually takes a couple times of telling him down before he listen, but he just got down and sat there waiting for her to pet him. We only use Christina to board Bentley, he loves her and really enjoys going to her house to play.
Christina was incredible with our dog Harley. Harley is a very nervous dog, so Christina suggested we meet a few times before the boarding. She did that in her free time and after 3 visits harley was at the door scratching and crying when Christina pulled in. It made me feel so much better when I dropped harley off for his 8 day stay. Christina sent multiple pictures everyday, answered me within minutes which eased my mind. Honestly harley loved it so much it was hard to get her to come home. Christina now walks harley atleast once a week because I wanted harley to still see her and play with her. Christina went above and beyond to make sure harley was comfortable and I am so grateful and lucky we have her.
Christina is the best. She was willing to work with us on hour and time changes. She and her family so kind. My pups stayed 4 days and LOVED her.

I have a half acre of land with a 150 ft lead so your dog has plenty of space to run around and play. I am always outside with the dog playing with them. I follow the pet owners lead. If the dog is allowed on your couch he's allowed on my couch, if he's allowed on the bed he can come on my bed and so forth. I try to keep the routine relatively the same so that the dog is still in his routine once he goes home . At a client's home I just follow their routine and what they would usually do that way the dog isn't confused and still gets to keep his regular routine so there's no problems once the owner is back.

Information Christina D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog needs medication, or if they don't like to walk for a long period of time. Also just tell me about them if they like other dogs, If they like playing fetch or tug of war. My job is to take care of your pup so whatever they want or like to do is what we will do.
A typical day
I have a huge yard with a 150 ft lead for any dogs that need to be leashed. Spend most of the time outside playing fetch or tug of war. Love walking pope John Paul Park, right up the street at bear cove and even just around my neighborhood. Very quite neighborhood so it's a perfect place to take a walk. Love playing games with them or if they prefer sitting on the couch getting cuddles. Every dog is different so whatever your dog loves to do I will do.

I work part time during the week and am only gone for about 5-6 hours. I leave around 7am and get home at 12pm. I will make sure I walk your dog before work and as soon as I get home. I am home all weekend and if I am not I will not be gone for long. I don't believe it's fair to leave a dog in a new place alone for to long.
