The Irons Kennel

Pet care experience

The Irons refer to my two Dalmatians names; if you know firefighter references, their names make the irons that firefighters use in rescue operations. I have had animals my whole life and love to treat them as if they are my children. Your pets will love being in my home as if it’s their own. If my dogs can do something, yours can too! I love training dogs as well, and both of my dals are ecollar trained. I ensure that your pets are comfortable and have their escape here while you enjoy your vacation!

Christine was amazing!! Even at a normally stressful time of year, she took Blueberry in and helped her feel comfortable in a new environment. Thank you!!

The world needs more people like Christine. She was incredible and helped us out last minute in a pinch. She was so great with our dog and we would love for her to watch him anytime.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big yard- that isn’t fenced in (yet)- but has plenty of room for your pup to run. My fur babies also have their own room in my home where all of their needs are met. My youngest dogs are crate trained, and would prefer to have crate trained pets in my home, unless your pet is older and trusted to be left out if I needed to leave to run an errand. My pets are allowed just about everywhere in my home and would be absolutely spoiled during their stay. I’m also an EMT, and know how Medicine translates into veterinary care.

I have a hybrid job and spend a lot of my time working from home so I am able to spend tons of time at home with my fur babies. This also allows me to be able to play with them more often and allow them to be more socialized throughout the day rather than being stuck in a crate all day.
