Pet care experience

Rural home near Richmond village

I grew up with many animals, both my own pets, and animals on my grandfather's dairy farm (he was also a vet). I live in the country in Richmond, and have cats, young kids and animals Rover won't let me name in the description...but they provide eggs. We have dogs in our "extended family" and we are well accustomed to dogs but we do not have one ourselves at this time. If your dog is 100% safe with those people and pets and well-behaved, let's talk! Independently insured.

I needed a last minute sitter for the holidays, and I am so grateful for Christina for boarding my dog, Maggie. She is quick to respond, very flexible, and she and her family took such great care of her! Lots of cute pics were sent to me and there was plenty of space for Maggie to run around. She was exhausted when we got home! Thank you so much, Christina for a wonderful experience!

Christina was fantastic! Zoe loved spending time with her, and we appreciated the photo updates while we were gone. We don't need boarding very often, but next time we do, we will absolutely use Christina again. Thank you so much!

Schedule

We enjoy hosting dogs, and are home most days of the week for most of the day. We enjoy walking with dogs and playing fetch (if dogs like to do that) on our hill in our yard.

Safety, trust & environment

We would need to do a meet & greet to make sure it is a good match. Our yard is not fenced, and we are on a dirt road in the country with woods on the property and surrounding it, so dogs should not be prone to bolting etc. They must be 100% safe with young kids, cats and free range egg producers. No aggressive or reactive dogs please.

A typical day

We have a great neighborhood for leashed walks. We are set back a bit from the dirt road and have a good amount of yard space.

It is important that we have dogs that do not show any aggression towards kids or other animals. Please let me know if your dog has any medical or other special needs.
