Safety, trust & environment

I regularly vacuum and mop my house. All furniture also gets vacuumed daily. I use pet friendly flea prevention methods inside and outside my house. We get our house and yard professionally treated to avoid ticks and fleas. But I ask that you also keep your pet on flea preventatives. All dogs that come in must be vaccinated. Please do not bring your pup if they are showing any symptoms. (Runny stools, coughing, runny nose)

Information Christine S. would like to know about your pet

Eating schedule. Walking schedule. Is your dog up to date with Vaccines? Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Any allergies? Anything else you feel is important for me to know.

A typical day

I spend a lot of time playing fetch and tag with the dogs. My dog also loves to play and ruff house with his new friends. The dogs are usually tired out here by 8pm. ??

Pet care experience

Hello! I work remotely, therefore I am always home. Your dog will not be left unattended. I also have a flexible cancellation policy. I know life can be crazy! I am the ultimate dog lover and will treat your dog like family. I keep my dog healthy with lots of snuggles and daily walks. Your dog will receive that same care that my Fur baby receives. I can also accommodate more than one pet; the more the merrier. You can call any time to check on your baby. I am always available to talk. I have a big fenced yard and a cozy home. Your dog will always be welcomed on my lap and couch. ❤️ Since I work from home full time I have lots of time to hang out with the dogs in my yard. They are like my little coworkers! I usually take the dogs on 2 walks a day but if you have a preference on more or less, I can do that. How do I ensure your dog is safe during their visit? I have a small friendly chihuahua. He loves making new friends and sharing his toys. My yard is treated monthly for fleas and ticks (All pet friendly treatments). The yard is secure with a tall fence and no gaps. My dog is up to date with his vaccines.

Christine did an absolutely AMAZING job watching my dog. She was so attentive to him, kept consistent communication and went out of her way to make sure my dog was well taken care of and had fun. Thank you Christine!!

Christine was amazing! She kept me updated with constant pictures and videos of my puppy. I was a little nervous since it was my first time being away from her since she was born but Christine made the process so easy. She’s great! Definitely will be booking again.
