Our Daily Routine Your pup will be part of our family’s daily routine while they’re with us! We have a flexible schedule and someone is typically home, so they’ll receive plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. We’ll make sure they get regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, outdoor time in our fenced yard, meals and treats according to their usual schedule, and lots of love and attention. We’re happy to follow your pup’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home. Every dog is different, so we’ll adjust their day based on their individual needs, energy level, and personality. Our goal is for your pup to feel safe, happy, and completely cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

Safety, trust & environment

Your pup’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. Our home is located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood that’s great for walks. Dogs will have regular potty breaks throughout the day, typically every few hours, along with opportunities for play and outdoor time. We’ll always keep a close eye on the dogs while they’re outside and make sure they’re comfortable and supervised. Your dog will also be staying in a home where someone is typically present, so they’ll have plenty of companionship and attention throughout their stay. We’ll follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and any special needs to help your pup feel safe and settled. We treat every dog in our care like one of our own and want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pup is being well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

Information Christopher D. would like to know about your pet

We love all dogs and do not have any breed preferences! 🐾 Every dog has their own personality, quirks, and needs, and we want to get to know what makes your pup comfortable and happy. The more you can tell us about your dog ahead of time, the better we can care for them. Please let us know about anything that may be important during their stay, including: • How they do with other dogs, children, or new people • Any fears, anxieties, triggers, or situations they don’t like • Behaviors we should be aware of, such as resource guarding, jumping, barking, or separation anxiety • Their normal feeding, potty, walking, and sleeping routine • Any medications, allergies, dietary restrictions, or special care instructions • Their energy level and favorite ways to play or relax • Anything that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and at home Please don’t ever worry about sharing something because you think it might be “bad.” Honest information helps us keep your pup safe and have the best possible stay. ❤️ Our goal is to make your dog feel like part of the family while they’re with us—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re loved, safe, and well cared for.

A typical day

Our mornings start with a potty break and a walk after everyone wakes up. Then the pups usually have some relaxed playtime while we enjoy our morning coffee and get the day started. ☕🐾 Throughout the day, there are plenty of opportunities for potty breaks, outdoor time in our fenced yard, play, and lots of attention and cuddles. In the afternoon, we like to get out for a longer walk around our quiet neighborhood or, when the weather and pups are up for it, enjoy a hike or some extra outdoor time. Evenings are more relaxed with dinner, downtime, and plenty of snuggles. We’re happy to adjust the routine based on your dog’s age, energy level, and normal schedule. Our goal is to give every pup a fun, comfortable day with a good balance of exercise, play, and relaxation—so they go home happy and tired! ❤️

Your Dog’s Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

Hello! We’re Chris and Melissa, and we’d love to welcome your pup into our home! 🐾 We’re a dog-loving family with two friendly dogs of our own and a two-year-old, so we’re a great fit for pups who are comfortable around children and other dogs. We have a fully fenced yard in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood, and someone is always home, so your dog will get plenty of attention and won’t be left alone for long stretches. We love taking our dogs for walks, spending time outside, giving lots of belly rubs, and, of course, spoiling them with treats! When your dog stays with us, they’re truly part of the family. We’ll do our best to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. ❤️ And honestly, most of our furry guests seem to have such a good time that they don’t want to leave! We can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐶

Thanks Christopher, you did a great job having Kaya, she is healthy and happy after staying with you! Will recommend you to my friends and next time when I have to go on vacation, I'll ask you to have Kaya with you once more, if you don't mind!

Christopher was awesome with Nala! She had a great time with his two dogs and knocked out on the ride home. Definitely recommend Christopher for your dog sitting needs
