Availability

Pet care is naturally built into our daily routine because animals are a big part of my home and family life. There is always plenty of love, attention, and activity to go around. Dogs in my care enjoy regular outdoor time in our large, fenced yard, walks, playtime, feeding schedules tailored to their needs, and lots of companionship throughout the day. Because I attend to other responsibilities during the day, I ask that your pet is crate or kennel comfortable to ensure their safety while we are away.

Information Christyn M. would like to know about your pet

Before any stay, I like to learn as much as possible about your dog's personality, routines, and behaviors to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Some important things I ask about include: • Are they a digger, jumper, runner, or escape artist? • How do they interact with other dogs, children, and new people? • Do they have any fears, anxieties, or triggers? • Are there any resource guarding behaviors around food, toys, or treats? • What is their typical daily routine, including feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and sleep habits? • Do they have any medical conditions, allergies, medications, or special care needs? • Have they ever shown aggression toward people or other animals? • What activities do they enjoy most, and what helps them feel comfortable when away from home? The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor their stay to their individual needs and provide a safe, fun, and stress-free experience.

A typical day

A typical day in my care is filled with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and family time. Mornings start with outdoor potty breaks and playtime in my fully fenced yard, followed by breakfast and some relaxation. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy supervised outdoor play, walks, games of fetch, treat hunts, and other enrichment activities designed to keep them mentally and physically engaged. When they're not playing, pups are part of our daily family routine, receiving lots of attention, affection, and opportunities to relax indoors. I strive to create a comfortable, home-like environment where dogs feel safe, loved, and included. Evenings include additional yard time, dinner, and plenty of cuddles before settling in for a restful night's sleep. Every dog is different, so I tailor activities and care to their age, energy level, and personality.

Where Every Dog Gets VIP Treatment

Pet care experience

Welcome to my home-based dog boarding experience, where your pup becomes part of the family! I can offer a huge fenced-in yard perfect for safe play, exercise, and outdoor fun. Overnight boarding is available for potty-trained pets, and dog walking can be included as part of their stay. I'm experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, and I strive to provide loving, individualized care for every guest. Solitary boarding accommodations are also available upon request for pets who do best in their own space (additional fee may apply). Because my home includes elementary-age children, all pets must be child-friendly. Your dog will be cared for by me and Melody — our lovable, mischievous 1-year-old rescue pup!

Christyn is an absolute gem and one of the very few people I trust completely with my senior dog. I’m extremely picky about who I leave him with — I’ve even canceled vacations before because I couldn’t find the right sitter. He requires daily medication and a very specific diet, and Christyn handled everything perfectly. She followed all my instructions to the letter, gave his medicine on schedule, and made sure he got exactly what he needed. Her home is spotless, and she has a nice fenced yard where she’s very protective of the dogs in her care. I was especially reassured knowing she had her own senior dog for years and gave him such wonderful care. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. Christyn is also incredibly flexible and responsive. Thanks to her, I was able to relax on vacation knowing my dog was in the best possible hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and detail-oriented sitter. She has my full trust!
