I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I'm here all day! If i do leave the house, dogs are put into a crate appropriate for their size, and will never be left for more than 2 hours.

Safety, trust & environment
Dogs are kenneled at night in the comfort and safety of our home. During the day they have access to play in our fenced yard as well as inside. Dogs are fed in the AM and the PM (in their kennels) and have access to water freely. Dogs will never be left unattended while out playing. I also have a Dog Pacer treadmill for higher energy dogs who need additional exercise.

Information Christine S. would like to know about your pet
I do not discriminate against any breeds. Dogs must be friendly with other dogs (large and small) as well as children. Small dogs will be in separate runs/play areas from large dogs, as well as any intact dogs will be separated. I cannot accept any female dogs in heat.
A typical day
Dogs will be able to play with othe dogs as well as various toys. A game of tug of war and fetch are always welcome!

Pet care experience
I aim to provide care that I would expect from a pet sitter for my own dogs. Hello! My name is Christine Stapleton! I have been fostering, and boarding dogs for over 10 years, and I absolutely love it! Dogs are my passion and I strive to make every pet that stays with me comfortable and stress-free. I am able to administer medications and/or injections if needed. Dogs who stay with me will get tons of attention and love throughout the day, and never be left alone for any more than 2 hours (at the max). I am a military spouse and stay at home mom to two girls (ages 4 and 1). I am finishing up my schooling with the Animal Behavior College and ISCDT. I am a member of the APDT, and an AKC CGC Evaluator. I also have my certification as a veterinary assistant. I am able to provide basic obedience lessons into your dogs stay as well, and provide video updates on the training and a go-home season on what what taught. Please provide a collar with updated information, and if your dog is microchipped please make sure the information is updated as well. Dogs must come with the appropriate amount of food for their entire length of stay.
Reviews
Christine did amazing watching my two puppies! She’s so knowledgeable and was a life saver boarding them for me while I was away. They had such an amazing time playing with the other dogs!
Christine was great to work with, flexible, and easy to communicate with. Would gladly use her as a sitter again!
Christine did an amazing job watching Ginger. She came home happy and tired...and for a Vizsla with never-ending energy, that was a big accomplishment.
Christine was great! She kept me updated throughout Freckles stay and sent me pictures too! He had a great time in her care ? will definitely be using her again for family getaways!
