Safety, trust & environment

I have an unfenced yard and a screened in patio for your pets to enjoy. Dogs will be kept on leash at all times while outside, and their safety and enjoyment will always be top priority. They will also, if approved by owner, be able to use our doggy pool and dog friendly toys. Dogs will be provided with walks every 2 hours or as needed. Baths in warm water are also available when requested. If your dog prefers a crate that is an option, however, we prefer our guests to have free roam of the house and patio as they please. All our guest must be friendly and free of aggression towards other animals, and people. I can provide a separate and safe space for your pets to eat if they are food shy.

A typical day

On a typical day your dog will enjoy all day play with their new furry pals, and a min of an hour of fetch/play time, you pet will have all day access to the screened in patio along with our dog friendly toys and shallow doggy pool unless otherwise requested by owner. You dog will enjoy a 15-30 minute walk with his furry pals every 2-3 hours. We also enjoy playing and practicing training with our four-legged guests, so please let us know if you have treat or training preferences. Please note the training is just for our and the pets enjoyment, we do not offer any training guarantees. We also take activity requests from owner such as lake/beach/dog park trips. I call those requests Doggy Day Trips and they are my favorite, we get to go to a parent-approved, dog-friendly location and spend 1-2 hours of playing and exploring time (always on leash or in a safe and contained space)

Pet care experience

I OFFER DOGGY DAY TRIPS! Doggy day trips are when I take your furry friend to an owner-approved, pet-friendly location to have fun and explore for 2 hrs. Doggy day trips can be requested for any booking for an additional fee (between $10-$20) . I have cared for family pets and injured/homeless birds, kittens, dogs and snakes since I was 13. You can rest assured that when your pet is with us they will not only play and socialize, they will be provided with lots of snuggles and exercise. Any medication/allergy/food requirements will be followed per the owner’s guidelines. If your dog likes trips to the park, or any specific activities please let me know, I want them to have the best time possible when they're in my care.

Cristen takes care of our dogs every time we go away, and she never disappoints! We don’t have to worry anymore about separation anxiety or guilt from going away since we know our babies are being loved and taken care of. The best part is seeing all the cute photos she sends us throughout the day letting us know our dogs are happy and safe. If you are in the Cutler Bay area we 100% recommend Cristen for your pet sitting needs!
