Safety, trust & environment

I have a large home on a big cul de sac with a fenced backyard. The fenced yard does not attach to any other neighbors. There are some stairs involved and a pool in back so please make sure this is the right fit for your doggo fam. I have mostly hardwood floors with lots of space and windows. Since I'm a teacher I typically do drop offs after 415 pm and pick ups before 7am. Weekends are totally flexible. I can do overnights during week if it fits within my work schedule. I don't have pets but may have another boarder if the opportunity allows.

Information Christy K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has issues with other dogs. On some occasions I will teach private art lessons in the attached art studio, so there may be a child present occasionally and briefly. Please make sure your pet is up to date on flea meds as I am extremely allergic to fleas. Please bring food in baggies, treats, toys, fav blanket or bed and if they crate or kennel that would be helpful to bring as well.

A typical day

We try to go on 1-2 walks a day to visit the ponds and ducks. There will be small adventures on the cul-de-sac as well. I love to test dogs knowledge with a few different games to keep their minds ative. I might even sketch your pup!

Dog lover with an empty nest

Pet care experience

Hi! I lost my doggie last April so I have an empty nest and would love to welcome your pet in my home for care when you need to get away. My past experience includes veterinary tech, pre-med, and animal trainer. Now I make a living as an art teacher but still love having pets in my life.

We left our pup Blue with Christy for a week while we went on vacation. Blue is always in good care with Christy. She is great with her and is attentive to spend lots of time playing, on walks, and snuggling. Blue did have a bad potty accident in the house while left alone and we were asked to contribute for a cleaning fee while we were gone. It was a bit frustrating in the moment but overall we are happy with her care. Christy sends lots of updates and photos so we feel comfortable knowing Blue is cared for while we are away.

We left our 7 month old puppy Blue with Christy for two nights and our experience was outstanding. Her evident experience and thoughtful questions about Blue's routine and preferences immediately put us at ease. Throughout Blue's two-night stay, Christy provided regular updates, including numerous heartwarming photos. It was clear that she was not only meeting Blue's basic needs but also ensuring she felt comfortable and loved. Christy's attention to detail and genuine care for Blue exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend her as a dog sitter and look forward to entrusting her with Blue's care in the future.
