Along with the boarding and adventuring I offer equine services, and small farm sitting. House plants, outside flower and garden care. I can operate ATV UTV and small farm tractors, I have been working with a very experienced dog trainer for over 3 years, I have learned great dog management skills and help with training class occasionally. I have also done some dog training for clients. I have excellent local references, upon request. I am honest reliable and I would love to sit/board for you. I live on 120 acres, with no neighbors in the Kootenai NF. I have multiple dog areas in my home and on the property. At no time will your pup be unsupervised. I am very active with my dogs, I am currently am training with Fae and Chaos and they require a lot of outside time and exercise. Our adventures include hiking paddle boarding, lots of swimming time at the lakes, horseback riding and ATV runs. In the winter activities depend on weather, snowshoeing and trail-joring. I would love to have your dogs come joins us for some pack theraphy fresh air and exercise. My dogs are family and yours will be to. Play dates are most welcome. Walks potty breaks. I am happy to watch them in my home or yours. Let me what your needs are and I will do my best to accommodate them. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members.

Ratings and reviews
Christine was wonderful with our boy. She is really experienced and knowledgeable about dogs. Gator had a wonderful time playing with Christine and her dogs while we were on our trip. She sent regular pictures which made us comfortable while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone.
Christine is awesome! My pups were happy and tired when I came home. My house was well cared for and respected. Christine showed up on time and was communicative which I appreciated. We'll definitely hire her again.
Bentley first time being left. Christine did a great job with him, and she sent pictures and updates on how Bentley was doing
Christine was fantastic! Super accommodating and Murphy had a great time!
My dogs had so much fun. Thanks Christine!
Christine was great with our senior pup! Our dog had never stayed with anyone she didn't know, but being new the area we didn't have another option. I think I was more nervous than our dog, but Christine sent daily updates with pictures and was honest about how Aspen was doing, which I greatly appreciated. I felt at ease knowing our dog was being well cared for with her best interest in mind. Christine made sure to keep our dogs normal routine and gave her meds at the correct time. I would highly recommend Christine to care for your dog!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced area for free play with a couple of my pups. . This area also has some agility equipment that they can learn to use. Rooms and areas of my home can also be blocked off to keep your dog separate if you prefer. I am currently adding inside kennels for separation needs, older dogs. Though my dogs are allowed on ALL my f6urniture and basically have the run of the house during the day, I will follow your rules while they are here. All of my dogs crate at night. In your home I will follow all instructions and treat animals and home with the utmost care. My clients say they can't even tell I was there. I also offer vet tech service for horses, bandage changes, hand walks, injections, medications, etc,. Light exercise can also be arranged Elderly dogs, medications, injections, nail trims, baths and grooming also available (extra fee)
