Have owned every bird in the book from parakeets, cokatiel and a African Gray and have held and cared for many Cockatoos and Macaws. Experienced bird owner too!! I have walked all different kinds of dogs and house boarded them too. I am very loving and compassionate when it comes to pets and showing them lots of love and care! Family run business that assists me when needed, only when I am dealing with other dogs, cats or birds, or in with my patients, since I am a psychologist. I work from home and have 2 kids ages 9&15; they also love all types of animals🥰!! I am looking for long term work and I am flexible with scheduling.

Also, I walk all dogs on leashes half the time and the other half is free roam based time; since I have a fenced in kennel/doggy playground that all dogs can be free base to run around in all through out the day. My own dogs are huskies and are very active and love numerous walks and love to play fetch the ball and love to play with stuffed animals. I have a run way so dogs can run back and forth. To use my runway all dogs must come with a harness, or they can not use the runway.

Reviews
Christina and Gabe were very kind and attentive with our Ollie during his stay with them. Our pup is a bit shy and takes time to open up to other dogs and humans. Gabe and Christina understood this well and let him ease into things which works really well for ollie. They also took him on walls and plenty of outdoors time which he absolutely loves and values a lot more than we wish he valued his food. We got timely updates on Ollie's whereabouts which definitely made us feel good about his stay. Ollie made a bunch of new friends and was such a happy pup when we were picking him up. Given how much outdoor time and dog bonding Ollie got we would definitely use Christina and Gabe's services again.
Christina and her husband were great!! She sent updates and photos at least once a day. Our dog got so much exercise and LOVED playing with the other pups at the house. She didn’t want to leave! Would definitely hire again!
Christina was great!
Christina R. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.

I treat them as if their my own. They can lay on my couch, watch doggy tv channels, or lay on their doggy beds and I love to give them plenty of love and attention!!!!! No dogs under 6 months old please!! I do every 4 hour walks/doggy playground free roam time they get/hiking up a mountain for a full 2hrs. An loads of supervision to see which dogs are the correct balance to be placed together in my two story house and doggy playground. I live in a huge house two floors. I feed them twice a day unless a owner tells me otherwise! Please when contacting me give me details about your dogs eating regimen and style of eating. I get so many varieties of owners coming in with just only dry food twice a day, some dry food and wet mixed in together twice a day; some vegan dogs that the owner prepares me the meals to give to their dog each day. I tell all pet owners for dogs with anxiety, nervousness and that will shake a lot to go to their vet and get prescription dog trazodone. Many owners been following through and their dog will be less nervous and shy. A lot of the dogs come to me from trauma related pasts. Or ask your vet for a good prescription for nervousness, tension, shyness and shakes being around new places. See what they say. Lately its been trazadone the vet been giving out all dog owners. Let me know all about their medications please and health issues. NO DOGS ALLOWED IF YOU CHEW OR ARE BITERS I am sorry I will NOT ACCEPT those dogs into my home!!

Information Christina R. would like to know about your pet
I have over 20 years experience with caring for animals! Grew up on a farm in katonah ny with every pet you can think of I raised and cared for! I would like to know what your dogs needs are like feeding only dry food or what their diet consists of and some details about them. An if they have any medical issues and need medications, or vitamins. I would like to have all dogs/cats if possible with getting 1 dose of a flea chew before they enter my home because they will be around other dogs and cats as well! When contacting me please elaborate if your dog needs wee wee pads or can due their duties outside! Some dogs I get are only exclusively indoor dogs only due to their health issues and age. This is why I ask. Please bring all wee wee pads, food, their own dog bowls since I get many dogs to care for; but I due have a limited amount of bowls, their own leash and own doggy bed. If your dog is the type to jump on window sills and be overly hyper active then I would not be the right boarder for your dog. I apologize about that. Also, NO GREAT DANES, OR CANE CORSO's unless neutured and proof of this. Thanks bunches christina:) No dogs under 6 months old please! An no dogs over 13 years old unless you speak to me first all about them in great details then I will decide on taking them in. The first 3-4 months their supposed to be with their mother feeding! No dogs that need potty breaks every 2hrs. I board dogs from age 1yr olds up to age 12 years old. If your dog can not hold there bladder for 4hrs which is my routine schedules of morning, lunch and dinner and an additional two extra night walks. If any dog can not hold its bladder longer then 3-4 hours then your dog is not for me. I am sorry! I am way to busy with loads of other dogs on a strict schedule of every 4hr playground fun time/walks up the mountain and walks on the road and around my 3 acres of land! Thanks so much and much love, happiness, and Joy to you and your fur baby and your families?????? NO DOGS ALLOWED IF YOU CHEW OR ARE BITERS I am sorry I will NOT ACCEPT those dogs into my home!! Thank You!
A typical day
in my neighborhood or at parks. I will take them on my trail for a long walk up to the mountain overseeing the lakes. Or i use my run way for them to run back and forth. I also, have a large tennis court fenced in doggy play ground as well for all the lovely fur babies to run around and be free based with other pups too for them to play together! Always supervised at all times this is and I have multiple pictures of small dogs with larger dogs in my photos of this free roam doggy playground.
