I do day care and boarding any day of the week as well, just note that your pet might be alone for a few hours some days while I’m out doing walks and drop in visits. Update: Thursdays midday walks/drop in spaces are currently fully filled, but morning and late afternoon/evening are available.

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding/daycare: Fenced yard with a two step access straight into it. There are two dog upstairs who also frequent the yard (they will not meet) and I occasionally foster senior dogs or have another pup visiting, so your pup must be up to date on all vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and dog friendly. I generally try to only have one house client at the time so your pup can get the best attention and care, but might have two pups at times due to high demand, so feel free to send a request and we’ll talk about your needs and my availability! My house is pets on furniture friendly and there are pet stairs for both the couch and bed. There’s also plenty of toys, puzzle feeders, dog beds, and (most importantly) snuggles available! A crate can be provided if needed as well.

Information Christina S. would like to know about your pet

Tell me about your pet - are they shy or outgoing? Anything you can tell me about their behavior and preferences is great! Do they have any restrictions or musts? Do they try and eat stuff off the streets?

A typical day

I enjoy giving the pet in my care what they need, whether it be play, snuggles, walks, or treats in puzzle toys. Because I spend most of my time with senior dogs, I understand the need for careful walks and plenty of snuggle/sleeping time, and follow their normal routines, like breakfast and dinner times.

Professional animal caretaker

Pet care experience

FULLY BOOKED till August 2026! Hi! A little about me: I’ve spent the majority of my life working as a professional animal caretaker (Zoo, animal shelter, and petsitting), and am especially fond of seniors and shy/timid animals that needs a calm friend, but of course can’t resist those cute puppies and young ones either. If your pup needs medication, I’m the place to go - if I can give medicine to picky monkeys and defiant cheetahs, your pup seems like a walk in the park… Which we will also be doing of course :) I truly believe our pets are a part of the family and I take the responsibility of caring for them very serious because your pup deserves the absolute best. Looking forward to meeting you and your furkid and building a trusting bond!

Christina was patient and caring with our shy girl, even taking June out in the rain when she asked for it. We appreciated the communication and would love for June to stay over again!
