Loving dog sitters!

Pet care experience

Townhouse 5 minutes from DSM airport. We are an active couple who loves outside time and walks! We currently don’t have our own pets (many family pets pictured which we watch often) so trying to get our animal snuggles in with your pooch! Christy works from home two days a week and the three days a week she can come home over the lunch hour and more (if needed). Can offer potty breaks every 2 hours on WFH days and every 4 hours on in the office days.

Bella had another great stay with Christy and Erkam. Regular updates kept me informed about how she was doing and allowed me to completely enjoy our trip. I wouldn't even consider boarding Bella with anyone else. They gave her excellent care, and communication with them was outstanding. Thankful to have such wonderful people to look after her!

This was our first time away from Stanley for more than a few days. Stanley seemed happy while we were gone and we felt better knowing he was well taken care of! He really likes Christy and Erkam!

Information Christy & Erkam N. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know what pertinent information you have on your dog. Please let us know if the dog has been aggressive with other dogs as we do have other dogs who live close by so may see on walks. We do our best to avoid any dog we pass as we will not risk a new dog interaction but we cannot promise the other owner will do the same.

A typical day

We live very close to greys lake and waterworks, lots of great walking space available! And of course, lots of snuggle time if they want it <3
