Information Christina S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important that the dogs I have here are mature in that they don’t bark excessively because of high anxiety levels. Dogs that are aggressive in any way with other dogs or people are not a good fit for me either.

A typical day

The dogs love going on walks on the private trails in my neighborhood and also love exploring my property too. If your dog loves to fetch, I'm happy to throw their favorite toy for them.

Pet care experience

Your dogs will feel relaxed in my care and will go home happy when I take care of them for you. I live in a private and gated equestrian neighborhood and have access to miles of beautiful walking trails that dogs love exploring. I live on 14 acres with my small and friendly dog, Bobbie and my 3 horses. The interior of the house is very comfortable for the dogs and I take them out for walks every 2-3 hours so they get plenty of fresh air, exercise and potty breaks. I have owned dogs my entire life and it's a joy to care for them while their family travels. I send a daily text update with a photo or video of your dog and their comfort is my number one priority. I keep only 2 dog guests at a time which feels like a private vacation for your dog vs a crowded and hectic dog boarding atmosphere. Dogs that have high anxiety levels that typically lead to excessive barking or that are aggressive in any way are not suitable for me. I also prefer to have dogs that weigh 40 pounds or less but a "gentle giant" is always welcome. I very much enjoy this work and am always grateful to connect with other animal lovers.

Christina is so kind and has a very calming vibe which our dog Ollie loves. He came back from his overnight extremely happy and well cared for. Christina is the perfect dog sitter.

Our dog had a great time with Christina! She took great care of our dog and sent us photos during the day as well as updates. Christina has a wonderful yard for them to play in and has a great way with dogs. Thank you so much Christina!
