My fur babies want a playmate :)
Pet care experience
Nice to meet you, I'm Christine! I love love love animals - they just make me happy! I had somewhat of a zoo growing up - dogs, rabbit, guinea pig, hamsters and my brother even had a bearded dragon ! The breed of dogs I had growing up were schnauzers and labs, which is where my obsession with schnauzers comes from. I currently have a 4 year old miniature schnauzer named Sadie who is friendly and absolutely loves to play and a 3 year old miniature schnauzer named Chloe, who is super playful and loves to run and play. They would both LOVE to have a playmate to frolic in the backyard with and play ball with! My husband and I also have a 2 year old daughter and she likes to help take care of any dog that would come stay with us - so BONUS love and attention! I will make sure your fur baby is all smiles after your trip and/or walk! I am working at home 2 days a week at the moment and my husband is 100% remote so one of us is at home all the time. I would prefer drop offs to be between 6-9am if it’s during the weekday however I can definitely be flexible as long as I just know in advance! I take dogs up to 35 lbs (my dogs are both under 20 lbs)! Usually only take 1 dog at a time but if you have 2 dogs and everyone gets along then willing to make an exception and I won’t ever take two clients at once! Your dog also MUST get along with children and have to do a meet and greet to make sure! If you have any questions, please reach out and I cannot wait to meet you and your fur child!
Reviews
I highly recommend Christine and Mark to anyone looking for boarding. They were wonderful with our dog Duncan and made us feel at ease while we were out of town. They communicated with us every day and sent us a bunch of photos. We felt like Duncan was being well looked after and getting plenty of attention. He got along very well with their dog Sadie. He was hesitant at first but the videos Christine sent us showed the two of them running around the apartment, playing tug of war, and having an all around great time together. Duncan came home and was absolutely exhausted. The day after we picked him up he was in full recovery mode, which was great for me because I got a free pass on doggy play time that day. We will be requesting Christine again in the future. 5 Stars for sure. Thanks!
Max loves coming over to play with Sadie. Thank you for putting up with Max's occasional accident while he still learns potty training and treating him like he is your own fur baby!
Max had a great time playing with Sadie and Christine. Christine is very friendly and loves pets. When I picked Max up I am not sure he was wanted to go home, as he felt very comfortable in her home. I will definitely be booking her again!
Christine helped me with my chocolate lab puppy, Ryder. She did a great job helping take her out and feed her whenever needed! She treats any dog like it were her own!

I have an extra crate if your dog is crate trained and needs to be crated for sleeping otherwise we welcome dogs to sleep on couch or any bed. Also, my husband or I are always home due to working at home.

Information Christine D. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have any quirks or habits? Does your dog normally bark if someone is walking by or at the door? Do they scare easily? How do they behave around puppies? If your dog is a male, does he mark? Unfortunately, I cannot take a male dominant dog who marks in the house. I’ve had multiple scenarios where this has been a problem so I cannot accept them anymore. And I love all breeds and have two labs at my parents house but unfortunately since I have small dogs and a child so I can only host under 35 lbs only.
A typical day
We have tons of dog toys so constant playtime and then we love to play ball in the backyard every night ! We have a large fenced in yard that makes exercising dogs super easy!

I work at home 2 days a week and my husband is 100% remote so one of us is home at all times! So they would get constant potty breaks and love from us! My daughter goes to daycare but will be home after 5:30pm. Bonus love and attention from my daughter!! We love to play with our dogs in the backyard each night and throw the ball!
