A typical day

I love a good routine, and believe my pets do too! For babies staying home with me who want to play as a group with Jojo and Kodi; breakfast, neighborhood walk, day in the fenced in backyard by the pool, possible hike (weather depending), mucho naptime, playtime, dinner (Kodi can tell time like a Swiss watch), couch time, bedtime, repeat. ;) But based on experience, I know not everyone likes to run with the big dogs, and so your pet may need or want or already have a routine that we can work with!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My unique dog boarding/sitting/walking skills and training that set me apart are the following: 1. I am a teacher and my plans for this summer are to spend my days hiking, walking, or relaxing in a fenced in backyard with a pool and some furry friends! 2. I am a life-long pet owner and animal lover. And I can’t dream up a better way to spend my time. Which means at least one of us is going to be in a wonderful mood every day! 3. My entire world is dog friendly and pet-aware. That means the primary focus is fur buddies; what they need, their safety, and their happiness!

Christine was awesome, very professional and courteous, my mind was completely at peace while I was at work knowing she was taking my dog out for me. Definitely would recommend her work!
