Highlights
Pet care experience
My sole priority: Quality & Satefy!
(Note to new clients: Please talk to me BEFORE you CONFIRM a booking so I can help you SAVE, thank you!) I am located in Killeen. I love small dogs more than anything else, and have been told by the people who met me and my dogs that I am the best dog owner based on how well cared for my little furry friends look. I can help you take care of your precious dogs so that you can have your mind at ease and enjoy your holidays 😊 Thank you for your interest!

Ratings and reviews
The home was extremely clean and well organized. You honestly could not tell that Christine had fur babies of her own because the house was spotless and smelled great. Christine was very easy to talk to and friendly from the start, which immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. Throughout their stay, my dogs were kept clean and very well cared for, including having their clothes and bedding washed every three days. Christine was also very attentive to their health. She noticed that one of my pups had a worm in his stool and immediately contacted me, explained the situation, and provided options. She even went to the store herself to get dewormer, which I truly appreciated. She even helped him grow his hair back and get his skin back healthy My pups were extremely happy and clearly enjoyed their stay. Blu was a little shy at first due to a traumatic experience with a previous sitter, but she quickly grew comfortable and absolutely loved Christine and her husband. I was very satisfied with the bathing and grooming services, and my dogs were provided with a comfortable, safe place to rest along with warm clothing during the colder weather. Christine truly went above and beyond to ensure my babies received plenty of attention, fun, and love. She kept me updated every day with messages, photos, and videos, all of which exceeded my expectations and showed how happy my dogs were. Christine is very knowledgeable and clearly experienced in providing excellent animal care. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing sitter.

We use Christine’s daycare and boarding (mainly) several times a year (off Rover, we like booking privately to save money) for our 2 poodle girls and can attest to her dedication and work ethic. We are amazed every time how clean, happy and healthy our fur babies are under her care. They love her clean home, cozy beds and beautiful meals she makes for them!! People complain about the charging a little higher than the general market but you get what you pay for. When you think about all the care and fun given to your dogs, this amazing lady is underpaid! Kennels also charge you much more to feed cheap kibble and kennel your poor dogs all day long. Our dogs came back sick after boarding at big business facilities and other sitters. Christine set the bar so high that we don’t know who else we can ever trust with our puppies again. Her grooming skills are also excellent at less than half the price of grooming salons. She always uses high quality and gentle products on them too. She is our first recommendation to everyone.
Christine was AMAZING. Her home was clean, and organized! She sent me updates multiple times throughout the day so I can be will informed of my fur babies stay. She had excellent communication skills and I love that! My dogs looked so happy and well maintained with her. She even groomed my babies and put cute outfits on them. I am more than audited with her service and will recommend her to anyone!!!


Responsible, professional, enthusiastic and SO compassionate is what I think about Christine. She tries hard in everything she does and shows great love and care for animals. Her house is the nicest place for little dogs to stay that I know of. You will not regret it. She did so much more for my dog than what I paid and asked for.
Christine asked me to write a testimonial for her small dogs sitting and boarding services. She is the most loving person I know with small dogs, very disciplined, clean, and knowledgeable. She always goes above and beyond for every pup she watches and treats them as if they were hers. Trust that your dogs will receive excellent care and love.
I love this sitter! She is extremely caring to my dog, so patient with questions and updates, friendly yet respectful. She always checked with me first to make sure my dog would be okay with any food or activity.

Schedule
I have many years of experience in taking care of both puppies and adults of small breeds. Your little furry friends will be accompanied 100% of the time they stay here. If you would like, I can even take them for car rides and hanging out at shopping malls, pet stores, or parks. Because to me, not only their physical health but also mental wellbeing needs kind attention via good stimulations. I will do everything within my power to ensure their safety and happiness. My house will be the cleanest and safest environment for your small dogs. No health hazards, no medium/big dogs, no cats, no loud noises, no human kids, no chaos. I do not even have a TV, I play the piano to them sometimes. This is just a calm, beautiful place with nice little friends, cozy beds, fun toys, exciting activities, and lots of love and attention. Before comparing my pricing to anyone else’s, please take some time to look through the detailed information on my services and my photo album, or have a visit at my place to see the difference. Once we start working together, you will very soon realize that I do much more than asked to. It’s because while your small dogs are in my care, they are MY babies. 😊 (My strict cancellation policy is to make sure my potential clients are absolutely serious about sending their babies to my place, because my time is extremely valuable and 100% dedicated to the dogs in my care. I also cannot afford to have people changing their minds after taking up the spot of someone else who had really needed it. I hope you understand, thank you so much ❤️)

Pets
A typical day
I love to stimulate our little furry friends both physically and mentally, via moderate exercise and teaching new tricks, respectively. I also love showing them the world by taking them out to places, normally in a comfortable stroller to ensure their own safety and confidence. There is a large doggy bed with a fluffy blanket and toys inside my vehicle for comfort during the ride. Everything is washed and cleaned often. At home, there are many types of toys including tunnels, ball pit, balls, blushes, chewing bones made of food grade and splinter-free material, etc. Besides feeding and play time, my favorite activity is to give our little friends a quality cuddle time plus some gentle massage and belly rubs; as well as brush their hair. If you have looked through my gallery, you should have noticed that I even host parties for them when there are enough pups! All of this is to make them feel extra special and loved.
