Family-Centered Pet Care!!

Pet care experience

Having a furbabies of our own, we understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry friend while you're away. We'd like to invite you to have them stay in our home where they'll be showered with love and care! We work as a family to provide lots of one-on-one attention and care, so each of our furry guests leaves hoping to come back and visit again! About Us: We are a married couple with two adult children, a grandbaby and 2 dogs in our household. We've been taking care of pups in our home since 2013. During the last few years, we've taken care of dogs from all walks of life. We make it a point to build relationships and want to be your dog's 2nd home! About this sitter: I'm an adventurous spirit, so I'm thrilled to be on this journey of working full-time with animals, especially doggies! In 2013, I took the plunge to quit my day job and start dog walking/boarding full time. It has been one of the most rewarding decisions I've ever made. In my free time, I love to hike, camp, take my pups to the dog park, visit the beach, read, watch documentaries and try new things with my kids. My family consists of my loving, supportive husband, Jason, two older kids and grandbaby. My entire family takes part in pampering each pooch and providing individual attention. We strive to make each guest feel comfortable and at home, and would love to help take care of your furry friend! I hope to hear from you! :) Why I love dog sitting: I have ALWAYS loved animals! Remember TinyToon's Elmyra, that only wanted to hug and love and squeeze....well, that's me, but only a kinder version! As long as I can remember I was bringing home stays or trying to make habitats for bugs! I'll even admit that I sometimes remember dog faces/names over their owners! lol! Being an 'animal person' is just part of who I am. :) Our House: We moved to Spokane in 2018, but are NW natives. We have a medium-sized home with a decent sized fully-fenced yard. We will also be visiting local dog parks (only with your permission) and local lakes for outings as weather permits. Being new to the area, our family likes to do a lot of exploring our new beautiful home! My experience administering medication: Yes, with written direction from you or vet. No subcu fluids.

Christina and her family are amazing! I am so lucky to have found them to watch my Bandit. She can be a little nervous when she first meets people but as soon as she got to know them she was so excited to go see them every time. I always knew that she was well taken care of and even got pictures of her hanging out or having fun with friends.

Christina was amazing! She took amazing care of our pup and it was great that our lab was able to play with hers. She sent photos or videos everyday for our girls to see so that made being away for a week a lot easier. She will be our first call whenever we are gone! Thanks again Christina you were awesome!

Information Christina S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about any behavioral troubles, works in progress, medical issues, normal daily routine (so we can stay on your schedule), temperament, and any aggression (kids, animal, food, toys,etc.). I would also like to know if your pet is licensed, vaccines up-to-date, deworming up-to-date, spayed/neutered, and any major past health issues or other information you can think of.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Your pooch will be taken on walks around our neighborhood and possibly local hikes/lakes dependent on weather and your dog's ability. Your dog's sleeping arrangement: Indoors. If your dog is a house-dog, then they can sleep anywhere. If not, then we will talk about a cozy area in our garage or kenneling (if your dog is used to that and only at night!) Our pooch usually sleeps on our bed; she keeps my feet warm! :) Time I'll spend with your dog: Family never stops, so 24/7, all day!
