Highlights
Pet care experience
A tired dog is a good dog
I have over 30 years experience training dogs. I am able to dog sit from my home full time. I recently moved to a large property in the country, that is a short 35 minute drive from Madisons west side. I have a acer that is completely fenced in and I am more than happy to offer pick up and drop off to the west side of Madison. I'm professional trained as a dog groomer, worked professionally for over 6 years as a groomer, dog trainer and doggie daycare provider. I have also worked as a vet assistant for 2 years in Denver Colorado. I am certified in humane and dog CPR and I graduated with an EMS degree for humans, this training helps me respond to variety of situations with confidence. I was a volunteer at two different Humane Society's for over 12 years. I have fostered, rehabilitated and Rehoused 15 dogs most with serious behavioral issues. I am an avid dog lover and enjoy spending time with my dogs and other people's dogs. I can stay home full time now. I also have a full acer that is fenced and I have walking trails in the country and I still frequently go to the dog park and I am never gone more than 1-2 hours. Rover is away for me to stay home with my dogs and hopefully your dogs. My dogs LOVE having dog friends visit our pack and home.-I am a firm believer in the saying "A tired dog is a good dog".-

Ratings and reviews
Christine kept me in the loop with photos and narratives of how the dogs were doing. My dogs, on pick up, were in good spirits. The older one typically gets stressed when boarded so their good spirits were important. We will use Christine again.
Another wonderful stay! Nell just loves her time with you and all the fun.
Christine once again did a wonderful job caring for Georgie. We got many pictures every day, and he seemed to really enjoy running around her new, big yard! I also really appreciated the willingness to coordinate pickup and drop-off closer to home since we're coming from Madison.
Christine stayed with our pups this past weekend and was absolutely fabulous! We have one dog that is reactive to other dogs and then a chow who is extremely particular to the people he lets into his life. They both absolutely loved her and they were so well cared for. Even our backyard dog who loves to run along the fence and bark at people is now just silently running along the fence. Sure hope that lasts! She is also an amazing photographer and sent us beautiful pictures of the boys and gave many updates. She will be our goto when we travel!!! Thank you Christine!
Christine is the best. Chance always gets so excited when we’re getting close to her house, he knows he’s going to have such a fun day. She regularly takes the pack to the dog park, which Chance loves. She is super-knowledgeable about dogs. I trust her completely with my fur-baby.
Great sitter!

Schedule
I have been dog sitting full time for the past year and I enjoy being home all day long. I recently moved and have an acer of fenced land and I am happy to offer pick up and drop off of your pet or we can meet closer to your house. I am only about 30 mins south of Madison.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a huge fenced yard with extra gates and separate fenced areas to do introductions safely. Dogs are NEVER left unsupervised outside. Your dog’s safety and mine dogs safety is my top priority!
Pets
A typical day
I am very relaxed and go with the flow and the needs of my dogs and OF COURSE your dogs needs come first when they are at my home. I like to encourage appropriate playtime behaviors and do mental activities and physical activity throughout the day. Dogs are allowed in the bed with me or if you want them to keep off the furniture, I am happy to arrange that as well.
