Availability

I am located just northwest of Nashville, 7 minutes from downtown! I work from home full time so I am flexible in providing daily exercise, frequent potty breaks, and outdoor time where they will be closely monitored. I do have a large back yard that is fully fenced in. I prefer to keep your pets routine as consistent as possible to their current schedule so I will ask about their feeding times and preferred activities. ● DAYCARE - 7:00AM - 7:00PM Early and/or late drop off/pick up times are subject to additional fees. ● BOARDING - Drop off as early as 7:00AM (or a pre-arranged earlier time as I try to accommodate individual needs as early as 5:00 am and such) with pick up within 2 hours of the drop off time on the day of departure. Pick up times outside of the 2 hour drop off will most likely result in a half day or rate or full day rate as Rover.com automatically calculates the rates. ***Arrangements can be made for different boarding needs such as later arrival for which a later pick up time on the departure day would be appropriate. I'm super flexible and can most likely accommodate last minute changes and unforseen circumstances. I want to minimize any worries for you and your fur babies. ❤️🐕

Safety, trust & environment

Rest assured that your dogs safety and security is a priority. Also, crate trained or the ability for your pet to be crated is preferred (exceptions can be made) to ensure your pets safety while unattended & to reduce the likelihood of any harmful events occurring. I am home full-time but there may be instances where I may need to run a quick errand, shower, etc. that may require for me to be away for a short time. When I'm at home your pup will have access to roam freely throughout the space.

Information Christine R. would like to know about your pet

Please advise of any special needs or conditions that the dog may have (ex. Allergies) and any emergency contact and veterinarian clinic contact information. Also any personal preferences as I want your pet to feel like they are at home.

A typical day

I have paved sidewalks in my neighborhood as well as creeks, open grassy areas and hiking trails at the nearby Fontanel complex. I love being outdoors so there will be plenty of walking. Feel free to bring your baby's favorite toys so that we can play fetch, tug-o-war, etc.

Pet care experience

I've been around dogs literally all my life! From arriving home from the hospital until March 2015 I've always had at least one dog in the home. After my dog's passing I had to fill the void left by his absence so I decided to care for other dogs. I'm very energetic and active and would love the opportunity to provide love and care to your pet during your absence. I work from home full time so you can rest assured that your beloved dog is receiving great attentive care for their entire stay. Please advise me if your dog does not get along with other dogs so that I can try to make an accommodation if possible. This may result in additional fees as this limits the number of pups I can care for at a given time. I do book on and off of Rover.com so I may already have a stay scheduled off app.

Christine Is incredible, It felt like Winston was staying at a family members house. She kept us updated with pictures and videos the entire time we were gone. This was our first time using Rover and will definitely recommend Christine to all our friends. Not only did Winston meet a new friend, we did also. Thank you Christine.

Christine is always so incredible. She is our Georgia’s favorite! We can tell by how happy our pup is in all of the photos while we are gone and even when we get home. Highly recommend

i could not possibly say enough lovely things about christine! she took the best care of my ernest - he was in such good spirits when he came home, so loved on. we weren’t used to boarding thru rover but we’re both so grateful we found christine and would use her again and again. she even sent multiple pics and videos every day so that i could know how happy ernest was during my time away. you couldn’t find a more loving or responsible carer for your favorite animal companion, that’s for sure. she is the best. ❤️

We have a bit of a neurotic, anxious dog and he always has a great time staying with Christine! She takes wonderful care of him and he always comes home happy and tired.
